antw. absurd & nauseating

In other words. It seems out of character for you to mince words refers to
the last sentence of your post.

That your boyfriend is a  phenomenologist is very fitting in terms of you
( at least the way you have presented yourself -- so far). Your seeming
literary precociousness.

By then regarding this I too at the age of twelve spoke of Proust, Mann and
Joyce in one breath.  But then,  to quote Dylan Thomas, I experienced
innocence lost and wisdom catastrophically gained at the age of 13 and I
understood enough to speak of Proust, Mann and  Joyce in  separate and
different breaths.
