...Taoist wisdom randomness, actually.  And I'm not Zorak, but oh well.


On many occasions, under the influence of wine, Liu Ling would be completely free and unrestrained, sometimes even removing his clothes and sitting stark naked in the middle of the room.  Some people once saw him in this state and chided him for it.

Ling retorted, "I take heaven and earth for my pillars and roof, and my house with its rooms as my pants and jacket.  What are you gentlemen doing in my pants?"

- from A New Account of Tales of the World by Liu Yiqing (403-444)


...I feel like I need an avatar of this now.  O.o
Whee!  *fwomp*

Sure, why not.  Ask me for any top 5 fannish things.  I define "fannish" loosely: there's Watchmen, to be sure (which is the only fandom I've really gotten into in depth), but I'm also a fan of sci-fi, mythology, history (and historical reenactment), dead Renaissance composers (and music in general), poetry, and small furry animals.  Um, yeah.

(Will probably reply in this post, because it's easier and I am a bit lazy.)
