London Bridge is Falling Down

My name is Emily.
I love art and literature, classic and modern interpretations, etc etc...
Who I am seems almost irrelevant at times.

How much does Saudi Arabia hate women? So much so that 15 girls died in a school fire in Mecca in 2002, after “morality police” barred them from fleeing the burning building — and kept firefighters from rescuing them — because the girls were not wearing headscarves and cloaks required in public. And nothing happened. No one was put on trial. Parents were silenced.

It’s not as if I don’t have anything to read; there’s a tower of perfectly good unread books next to my bed, not to mention the shelves of books in the living room I’ve been meaning to reread. I find myself, maddeningly, hungry for the next one, as yet unknown. I no longer try to analyze this hunger; I capitulated long ago to the book lust that’s afflicted me most of my life.

  • BATGIRL: You do realize that if you were sending an all guy team you probably wouldn't have justified it?
  • NIGHTWING: ...THERE IS NO RIGHT ANSWER TO THIS, GOODBYE. /ends transmission
  • BATGIRL: Yeah, Queen Bee isn't the only one who can manipulate a guy's mind.
