Reading Query Shark led me to realize that I did not know what Ilium's "conflict" was.

That can't be good.

at age what? 5?

[royinpink.livejournal.com]

yes.

it's possible you may not have even had a sense of what mainstream was at age 5, you know. I don't think I did.

[royinpink.livejournal.com]

well, not age 5, but i shouldn't have so easily grasped on to the pop imitation of anti-mainstream ideals so late into my teenage years!
