I'd love to do a proper paper, but it's one of those shitty little 1000 word papers where you get half way through it and realise you've only just done the introduction and you have to cull all this cool information you've found. I'm basing it all around Saul Williams' poem "Amethyst Rocks" anyway..

stupid first year subject, holding me back on writing a 5000 word opus of brilliance.

Poo.

Read the book anyway: you'll like it.

Funnily enough I have problems when writing on a subjects close to my heart. It frustrates me, I prefer to write about stuff I don't care about.

I have never been able to do that. I can't BS att all, so my papers are always the bare minimum. I bet I could shrink your 5000 word paper into about 2 pages...
