wolven7You ever notice that, if you're going to run in certain circles, there will be people away from whom you simply CANNOT GET?
I was researching the Association for the Study of Estericism, looking into their work because I want to sumbit a piece of my thesis to the book they're putting together, and I go to look at the board members and who do I find?
Christopher FUCKING LEHRICH.
Now, I will be politick, here, and I will say this, in the following maner, because I know that some of those who read this are friends and fans: Christopher I. Lehrich does not jibe with me. I doubt he has any strong feelings about me, one way or the other, but the one very brief e-mail conversation we ever had left me with such a sour taste in my mouth that I do not want to attend Boston University, while he is there. I do not think that it would be a fruitful endeavour, for either of us.
I don't know if he's in charge of the submissions for the book.
But his name is Everywhere. Recommended by Everyone who hears what I'm studying, what I'm trying to do, in an academic capacity. And I do not like him. His work is fine, his research is sound. He even writes pretty well.
But we are not traveling the same path, and I wish I could figure out why things keep pointing me there.
If I have to learn things from someone who's "been there™," I'd really rather it be someone with whom I could hold a five minute conversation, without wanting to do myself physical violence.
