"Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea"

V: [Evey pulls out her mace] I can assure you I mean you no harm. 
Evey Hammond: Who are you? 
V: Who? Who is but the form following the function of what and what I am is a man in a mask. 
Evey Hammond: Well I can see that. 
V: Of course you can. I'm not questioning your powers of observation I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. 
Evey Hammond: Oh. Right. 
V: But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona. Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. 
[carves V into poster on wall] 
The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. 
[giggles] 
 Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V. 
Evey Hammond: Are you like a crazy person? 
V: I am quite sure they will say so. But to whom, might I ask, am I speaking with? 
Evey Hammond: I'm Evey. 
V: Evey? E-V. Of course you are. 
Evey Hammond: What does that mean? 
V: It means that I, like God, do not play with dice and I don't believe in coincidences. 


As you can guess I have rediscovered  my love for V for Vendetta today due to the delivery of my V mask. I absolutely love the film and thing its one of the best films ever made, it has some of the best and most inspiring quotes in the film as well as some dark humour. For those of you that haven't seen it I strongly advise you do because it's freaking amazing.


I originally bought the mask for a trip to Fright Night next week but shot myself in the foot as I no longer have the money for Fright Night. However, all is not lost, there may be a possibility that I could get a loan from my mum. Which would be awesome as i really want to go to Fright Night because its bloody awesome. I've also just realised I haven't even been to Thorpe Park once this year which is quite depressing.


Anyway, aside from that today has been pretty normal with very little worthy of comment happening, therefore i shall leave you to ponder the mysteries of life and contemplate the paradox of asking a masked man who he is.


Farewell readers!
