An Insult to my Muse

I am not very ashamed to say that I have been reading smut on my lunch hour. Not porn you perv! A "romance" novel. I am on chapter 3 and there has already been a scandal and a funeral. Also, one leggy maid and one jilted rightful heir to the fortune have had an extremely passionate one night stand. With less than 200 pages in the whole book and a very sexy cover, there could be no better example of literary abomination. My muse would be very disappointed. Or maybe this is just the sort of thing she would expect from someone like me. Either way it is of no matter since I will probably never see Kittychan again. When I met Kittychan she was home for a break between her senior trip to Europe and her freshman year at some Russian art school. A Jewish American princess with a flair for anything "goth." I met her through the Drummer. In fact, the Drummer was infatuated with her the entire time we dated. I could not fault him for hanging on her every word because half-way through my first conversation with her, I was enchanted. I felt like young Kirsten Dunst in Interview with a Vampire. When she gets caught spying on a whore and she explains "I don't want her, I want to be her." Far better looking than myself and about 7 years younger, Kittychan was everything I wish I had been at nineteen. I never understood why Kittychan felt the need to slum-it by being friends with my ex, but I did come to realize the only thing she had that I really wanted was a proper education. And so, at some point after meeting her I decided since I can't go back to school right now, I would make an effort to find and read all the classics that I neglected in my youthful cloud of pot smoke. So far- I have managed to read the complete novels of Jane Austen. I won't shame myself any further by publishing the title of the smut I am reading now. It was there, I was bored, might as well finish it. I don't feel too bad about it, with the education I had it is truely a wonder that I learned to read at all. At any rate when I am done I have the complete novels of Charlotte and Emily Bronte waiting for me. By the by, my muse can be contacted through kittychan@hotmail.com . But don't send her spam at kittychan@hotmail.com because that would be bad. So only friendly emails should be sent to her at kittychan@hotmail.com . Again, that is kittychan@hotmail.com .
