Quoted:
The real Guy Fawke was a fundamentalist nut if I am not mistaken I know there's no way I can convince you this is not one of their tricks, but I don't care, I am me. My name is Valerie, I don't think I'll live much longer and I wanted to tell someone about my life. This is the only autobiography ill ever write, and god, I'm writing it on toilet paper. I was born in Nottingham in 1985, I don't remember much of those early years, but I do remember the rain. My grandmother owned a farm in Tuttlebrook, and she use to tell me that god was in the rain. I passed my 11th lesson into girl's grammar; it was at school that I met my first girlfriend, her name was Sara. It was her wrists. They were beautiful. I thought we would love each other forever. I remember our teacher telling us that is was an adolescent phase people outgrew. Sara did, I didn't. In 2002 I fell in love with a girl named Christina. That year I came out to my parents. I couldn't have done it without Chris holding my hand. My father wouldn't look at me, he told me to go and never come back. My mother said nothing. But I had only told them the truth, was that so selfish? Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have. It is the very last inch of us, but within that inch, we are free. I'd always known what I wanted to do with my life, and in 2015 I starred in my first film, 'The Salt Flats'. It was the most important role of my life, not because of my career, but because that was how I met Ruth. The first time we kissed, I knew I never wanted to kiss any other lips but hers again. We moved to a small flat in London together. She grew Scarlet Carsons for me in our window box, and our place always smelled of roses. Those were there best years of my life. But America's war grew worse, and worse. And eventually came to London. After that there were no roses anymore. Not for anyone. I remember how the meaning of words began to change. How unfamiliar words like collateral and rendition became frightening. While things like Norse Fire and The Articles of Allegiance became powerful, I remember how different became dangerous. I still don't understand it, why they hate us so much. They took Ruth while she was out buying food. I've never cried so hard in my life. It wasn't long till they came for me.It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years, I had roses, and apologized to no one. I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An Inch, it is small and it is fragile, but it is the only thing the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us. I hope that whoever you are, you escape this place. I hope that the world turns and that things get better. But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you. I love you. With all my heart, I love you. |

Quoted: This. It may have made for great comic books and movies, the pablum that the unthinking masses lap up, but the moral of the story was not that we need to emulate this guy. Having actually read what Guy Fawkes wanted? No Me, if I am going to emulate a revolutionary activists, I will chose the Minutemen of the Continental United States, men of action and conviction don't feel the need for masks. |

Quoted: The bon fires are lit tonight to celebrate the monarchy's survival and they're burning the Catholics in effagy. Guy Fawkes was a religious zealot suicide bomber who wanted to bring down the existing government through violence and replace it with one that gave his religion primacy. Guy Fawkes night is the night we remember what we used to do to people like that  Of course, as a papist I really should be rooting for his team  |

Quoted:
I think im gonna have to pull out the V for Vendetta comic and give it a re-read tonight. God Bless Alan Moore. Of course we should all thank Guy Fawkes as well. Thank you for being a purist. The GN was AMAZING. His work is written to never be replicated by the silver screen. The film stripped all of the romance out, which was important to V. Art...such a great message and reminder. |
