Gone are the references to foreign exchange student groups as including a “half-drunken Latvian girl” or god-lovers as being “exceedingly insular.” Presumably, the original copywriter for these is gone as well.

Superfluous Portions? Emo band name? Let’s write their first song:
Superfluous Portions
A dermatological nightmare on my bones

MY LIFE IS A HORRIBLE NIGHTMARE
I must go now
Don’t cry for me.
