i'd fuck her till her guts spill out all over the sheets

My literary dream is to trap myself inside a groundhog day inspired loop that takes place in new york on the day charlie rose interviewed donna tartt. And, yes, donna would be the andie macdowell. Just imagine tracking her down in the city (that alone would take up the first week), then having eternity to fall in love with her again and again, each day, beginning at 8:30am when you meet her in the green room or lobby or wherever and have the perfect compliment or snide remark (after years of practice), and you capture her attention immediately. Then it's off to lunch. Donna agrees to meet you in a highlife cafe or a jew deli or some such place in manhattan. The conversation goes flawlessly and, despite the fact you've been repeating the same words for years upon years now, her laughter and smile have you thinking anew, 'Am I really this lucky?' Together you and donna spend the day visiting eclectic book shops and libraries and talking with each other about homer, (whom by this point you've been studying for years), and donna expresses how really "gobsmacked" she feels at whom she's chanced at meeting. As is neccessary, the day ends, dwindles down--but not before you and donna skate the ice at 30 rock!! Donna can't believe how "slick" a skater you are considering where you grew up, but really it's "nothing to write home about," you answer with a dashing laugh. And then comes the best part. The proverbial cherry on top. You fall asleep together, lovingly, warmly--all but assured the best day of your life is fated not to end, but to repeat itself, forever.

Young Donna

>“The only really tense moment she and I ever had was in this writing tutorial where she’d brought the novel,” Bret Ellis says. “It was just me and Donna and one other girl. At that point I’d read the first eighty to ninety pages of The Secret History. I thought it was beautifully written; I only had one criticism. I said, ‘Here’s this guy, the narrator, a freshman at college, and he has no sort of sexual feeling, no desire at all. It just doesn’t seem realistic.’ She gave me the stoniest look I ever got. I almost wilted into my chair.
