So when I said "Machiavellian," then raised my eyebrows while repeating "eh?" what I meant was that Maximillian is a rather Machiavellian name. Because, you know, Machiavellian people had it. I think. AP Euro was a while ago.* One May argue that this adjective cannot be used to describe anything other than characteristics, but I think there is something to be said for the sound of things. Maximillian sounds like a liege who would rather be feared than loved. That is all.
---Coming soon in this series:
Title explanation for "By The Horns," the revived Trumbull College litmag!
A whole lot of emo/angst poetry, just to remind you why we're not printing much
Breakfast in Trumbull, Pt 1? Hm, this might be too public a sphere for that...
*On that note, I wonder if there are any possibilities in the Famous Historians Club as far as this blog is concerned.
-There is the possibility of incorporating info from my seminar last semester for a next installment
-Vignettes? Would probably wind up being too dialogue-heavy.
-Perhaps a biography of Sarah Virgina Stalin. S/he had a lot of good lines.
-Or a guide on how to draw all the mustaches of '30s dictators without looking like a gay French pirate. Wait. We never did figure that out.
