RL: Literature and women, and me

pixelmayhemShakespeare, Shakespeare everywhere! I dunno if the prevalence of Shakespeare references around me are just more noticeable since I watched "As You Like It", but I don't think I really noticed any references until I settled on a quote to use in a Shuttle!Verse chapter. Whatever it was, there are now Shakespeare references everywhere and I am loving it. I keep getting all starry-eyed.
Being on a literary kick, let me share with you more of my geeky-ness.
First something from one my lit class notes. (I don't remember what class, how sad).
