Sorry, I'm of the modern world. Shakespear is damned impossible for me to find, thus I'm alack of the wisdom that is Shakespear's work. >V.V<

I've only read one Shakespeare book so far, Romeo and Juliet.

Heh, I listen to a lot of this "angsty emo rock".

Also, I always though Shakespeare was way overrated. I've read a bunch, Romeo and Juliet, Ceaser, Midsummer Night's Dream, Much Ado About Nothing, among others; none of which grabbed me.

Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

I think the fact that Millie's so happy about "facing horrible dilemmas" in that manner perfectly explains why I feel the way I do about emo-rock.

My outlook on Millie's dilemma (which can apply to anyone) is that it is enriching, for both you and the reciever, to share things that you feel are "yours." I often find that things are more enjoyable when you can discuss or experience them with another. It seems to add another layer to it. It can still be "yours," just in a slightly more logical sense. However, to be enriching you've got to share them with someone who can understand the appeal. Otherwise it's rather pointless. I'm not so sure Felicia's one to understand Millie's sense of appeal.

I believe Music is THE BRANSTON PICKLE ON THE CHEESE ON TOAST OF THE SOUL is the analogy you're looking for :)

Now I'm wondering if Mr. Larnblatt will appear in this series. Probably not, but I hope so.

If he does, I'll have another reason to talk weirdly >^.^<

I like the conclusion that was reached, it seemed very Millie.

And my contribution to the music analogies...
Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything. - Plato

And here somebody told me that Plato was hostile to music. They probably thought that because his ideal republic didn't allow new kinds of music, fearing the possibility of leading people astray.
