Adventures of a Tofu Slut

Because I am unable to let any reference to Tam Lin pass, I must note here that Blackstock is the thinly fictionalized college that I attended. And, you know, aside from the Faerie aspect of it all, and including a great deal more drinking, it's pretty accurate to how my college years were. Which is kind of freaky in and of itself. (Pamela Dean is an alumna. And while she claims no people were based on real people, it is generally held to be true that Professor Evans was an English professor named Owen Jenkins, who actually used to return papers to students cut up in plastic bags - "The parts in the bag were the only good parts" - and who sadly passed away the year after I graduated.)

I reread Tam Lin whenever I miss Carleton. It helps a great deal.
