Re: Wednesday
I'm kinda surprised at how personally threatened some people are by descriptions of your professor! I totally believe that a TV show could be a huge part of someone's life and be full of meaning for them. Why not? Why the hell not. Stuff like that can have enormous symbolism to people. Some of my favourite names are from a children's picture book about dinosaurs for chrissakes, but because they are "more serious" names (less creative I think - I actually disliked them for years) than Wednesday and Lyra, I would come across as a more mature or less attention-whoring for using them? That's BS because anyone who knows me knows that I also crave and admire escapism and find normalcy to be like a form of cowardice and I WISH I had the courage to be a proper attention whore.DON'T WORRY STAN I UNDERSTAND YOU

It's a leap from feeling irritated to feeling threatened unless you think I'm worried I might roll my eyes so hard they'll fall out of my head.

lol! I just think making statements about what kind of person someone is based on their personal aesthetic choices is evidence that something about them makes the critical person feel insecure, that's all. That's why they find it irritating, as opposed to not caring at all.
