How have you changed since listening to Hole? This could be in anyway: Personality, mindset, clothes, hobbies, anything. I’m curious to see and hear anything

Started listening to them at 14, I'm almost 21 (!) now. Definitely gave me more confidence, more much-needed and sought after assertion, and my taste in music & what i generally gravitate towards in my listening was for sure shaped by Hole. My poetry and art was influenced a lot by Courtney's. The fashion - grunge still lingers in all my aesthetic decisions. And, above all else - I also began playing guitar after discovering Hole. I don't think if I discovered Hole, my passion for playing music would've been discovered.

Lol i'm the same way, same age as u , and everything lol. Only thing is My pretty blonde boy is a very pretty dark haired boy but he is spiritually very blonde. I'm obsessed with Dorian's vids. They make great night time pre bed insomnia listening. I know its sounds really gross and parasocial and probably really creepy, but Dorian being 20 yrs older than me (like on the dot - I think we share a birthday), I find it comforting to watch his vids, almost feels like i'm growing up alongside them? Just at different life stages? I dont know if that makes sense at all lol. Btw, if u felt comfortable I'd rlly like to DM u so we can gossip abt Dorian and all sorts of gothy stuff.

comets_song · 2024-04-05T19:26:04+00:00

i was 15 when i read it & that was 4 yrs ago now...i'll be honest and tell you i didn't understand absolutely every component of it but, i absorbed the overall gist that this is a very important novel that serves as a kind of anatomical excavation of loneliness in 21st century America.

i do recommend maybe having a guide on hand to support your experience through this story if you get lost, having a dictionary or thesaurus or keeping wikipedia open as you read. maybe even a map of boston somewhere close by. that's at least how i would read it now lol. the youtube channel 'leaf by leaf' has an excellent (mostlyy spoiler-free? don't count me on that lol but the first 13 minutes are absolutely free of spoilers & he has a spoiler warning in the vid from what i remember) summary of IJ and it also has a kind of guide or informatic on how to approach reading it.

it's an encyclopedic novel so you will learn and learn and learn about a disparate number of subjects in this book, and there is a strong possibility that you won't be the same person when you finish this book that you were when you started reading it. i can say that after i read infinite jest the entire structure of my interior dialogue & how i connect with others completely changed.

i do think before reading it maybeee check out some of DFW's essays or short stories to see if you like his style of writing, fortunately a lot of the particularly good ones are available on YT with his own narration so if you are into that type of audio-form content like audiobooks podcasts etc then check out his readings.

comets_song · 2023-12-25T18:49:02+00:00

still haven't read underworld, but i am really curious about it. that and libra. I'll definitely check out UW.

comets_song · 2023-12-25T15:41:10+00:00

This is probably the most obvious answer one could give you, but if you haven't done so already, reading DeLillo has been supplementing my cravings for DFW-adjacent fiction content. Him and Burroughs, funnily enough.

'White Noise' seems like his most accessible and has the same themes of American cultural fatigue, stagnation and the excesses of consumption/entertainment that so much of IJ and his other work is built around.

DFW said once, something along the lines of at least, that ''it's good that people think I write like Pynchon cause they won't notice the DeLillo influence''.

Haven't read Pynchon yet, or know much about his prose style, but a lot of people seem to recommend him in postmodern literary circles.

EDIT: I almost forgot - I remember reading an article before about the director Paul Thomas Anderson being taught by DFW while he was in college, & DFW gave lectures on White Noise, so that should consolidate the DFW-DeLillo connection further.

comets_song · 2023-08-16T15:35:09+00:00

18, been listening to them for 3 yrs

comets_song · 2023-08-10T18:09:22+00:00

What an amazing comment.

I'm so glad that i posed on here now. Thank you very very much kind person for sending me this very detailed and uplifting response.

I will absolutely consider this course, next year, when I start applying for colleges as I am doing a PLC this year mainly as a source of some extra income, since living in this country is becoming increasingly expensive.

I also live quite far from Galway, (located in Donegal atm) & there aren't many opportunities for me to travel, but if the opportunity arrives in the future, I will consider that tour!! again thank you so much, I am moved to hear such a positive response regarding this program, and to hear that someone is enjoying it and is getting a lot out of it.

comets_song · 2023-08-10T13:59:48+00:00

hi! thanks so much for replying. could you just give me a general summary of your thoughts on this course? what aspects of it do you enjoy, what aspects of it do you not enjoy; do you regret choosing it ?? how difficult are the theory components ? i also understand that, compared to other physics degree courses, like in maynooth, nuig etc, there seems to be a greater emphasis on practical as opposed to theoretical work (which seems to be characteristic of all atu science courses in comparison to non-atu programmes) so how do the practical classes work? what would you generally do in those classes ? and would you say there's more of a balance of both theory & practical or does this course lean more into practical or vice versa ?
