You Know You Are/Were An English/Writing Major Snob When...

# You silently cringe when a person uses double negatives in a sentence.

# You desire to reach out and slap a person (typically female) when she lists at least two N. Sparks books on her personal all-time favorite list.

# You are unable to watch any type of television show or movie without applying some type of critical theory to it.

# You are immensely angered that theatres showing independent films are not closer to where you live.

# You have an unhealthy obsession with Boggie Nights. You appreciate it for more than a full-frontal of Marky Mark and a long boob shot of Julianne Moore. To you, it is a cinematic masterpiece that created a paradigm movie making shift for both screen writing and directing. However, for the other lovers of the film, it is appreciated as being easily accessible "soft" porn.

# You have the tendency to piss off your non English/Writing Major friends because you frequently voice your opinion and they frequently do not give a rat's a$$.

# You tend to psychoanalysis just about every aspect of your relationships and it comes as a big shocker when you discover that other people do not practice this tedious business.

Want to hear a poem I wrote?

"I love you, you love me.
Going down the sugar tree.
We'll go down the sugar tree,
and see lots of bees,
playing, playing.
But the bees won't sting,
because you love me."

That's it.
