In some places on the WWW, it's always Halloween
This is one of those places.
The face that sunk a thousand ships, and tried to sink mine.
This is the chick who tried to kick me out of creative writing class for loving Shakespeare, back when I was a nineteen year old sophomore at Princeton.

FOXFIRE: CONFESSIONS OF A GIRL GANG
by JOYCE CAROL OATES
Never, never tell, Maddy-Monkey, they warned me, it's Death if you tell any of Them but now after so many years I am going to tell, for who's to stop me?
FOXFIRE NEVER LOOKS BACK! was one of our secret proverbs. Also FOXFIRE BURNS & BURNS and FOXFIRE NEVER SAYS SORRY! but such pertained to regret and remorse and guilt and sin and repentance such as weaker people might feel, not memmory. And such predated, I guess I should state clearly, the nightmare events of FOXFIRE's final days of May--June 1989 which I believe no one of us did not regret.
For FOXFIRE was a true outlaw gang, yes . . .
But FOXFIRE was a true blood-sisterhood, our bond forged in loyalty, fidelity, trust, love.
Yes we committed what you would call crimes. And most of these went not only unpunished but unacknowledged-- our victims, all male, were too ashamed, or too cowardly, to come forward and complain.
