You know, now that you put it that way, I know what you mean. It's that whole tortured, self-negating, nihilist artist thing -- which, really, is more egocentric and self-involved than a person who's just openly extroverted. I have known a few of these in my time.
But let me say no more because *whispers* I THINK THEY'RE WATCHING.

: I don't think you were supposed to quite catch on how little dreams Thora (if not the other one) had right away. I have one thing here, and that's that I think that anybody who's ever gone to any kind of art school has meant plenty of people whose response to the world not embracing them is to say "Fuck the world!" and criticize everything. For some reason, most of these people get involved with drama club somehow in high school, and wind up coming to film school (or a half-dozen other majors) with no real ambition to go into the field (no dreams or goals), but just because they think it would be something they could do because they like movies. Something like that, anyway ... I'm just saying, I've *definitely* met Enid.
: : I was disturbed that she didn't get MORE of a comeuppance, actually. The things she did were just horrible and unnecessarily cruel. If anything, she's punished by the realization that she is more mock-worthy than the people whom she looks down upon. Still, it wasn't enough; I was waiting for somebody to do something really terrible to her, and it didn't happen.
: That's life, though, isn't it? Different strokes, though I don't think your opinion is ill-informed, which is something that would spark off an over-zealous counter-attack.
: : Who was David Cross? I'm ignorant, appease me.
: He's at the record party, as said below. My favorite thing is when he goes "Oh, there's a seat right there!" and also the way he laughs before he says "That was so rude! Nah, you're cool."
