A Morbid Curiosity and now this girl come from the same place, know each other, and are curiously miles ahead of a lot of people. It's weird how so much greatness seems to radiate from a place that isn't my location.

In what way are they ahead?
I'm not even trying to be rude. I seriously don't get it.

They like Hemingway and Nick Cave. A rarity amongst British teens.

This is a thing I don't get about you.
You give people credit for the oddest things. Yes, Hemingway and Nick Cave are both neat things, but people aren't cool or good or "miles ahead" for liking them.
People SHOULD know about and respect good literature. You shouldn't get a merit for something you should already be doing. THe people who don't should be punished.

I give people credit for liking the things that I like. That's the most sensible rewards system I can think of.

It's also crazily jumping the gun.
You decided this chick is "miles ahead" when she made one post. It is 100% possible, and even probable, that she's read one or two Hemingway books, sort of liked them, sort of understood them, and said he's her favorite author so she'd seem smart.

Huzzah! I feel honored to be welcomed into your community.
I spelled Carbin with an "i" intentionally; it is how Regina Spektor pronounces it in her song "Carbon Monoxide." If you listen to the song, she clearly says "carBIN monoxide...."
Adues to you all.

I can vouch for her knowledge of culture. I discover more music sitting around her house on Saturdays eating tortillas and going through her record collection than I do anywhere else. Haha.
Nevertheless, Ophelia is kinda right. We could be assholes.

Just a heads up, it's "Adieu". It means "to God", sort of the french version of the Spanish "via con dios".
....And yes, there was little point to that. I'll chalk it down to being Canadian and having to listen to too many people butcher French. Just ignore me XD
