Me: RUDY!!!! *glomptacklehug*
Me: Good. Still coughing, but good. Yourself?
Me: Done with school and most of my HW. Still suffering from a bit of the after effects of insomnia.
Me: GUYS MY TUMMY ISN'T ALL SQUISHY ANYMORE. :D Crunches do work!
Me: Well, yeah, Van. Did you think they didn't? XD I'm sorry, Rudy. Try some chamomile tea?
I know how you feel, Thera. My back's been on a heating pad all day. :/
Me: I don't believe in exercise, because I'm an incredibly lazy person. Last summer I was so lazy that I was too lazy to get up and eat.
Me: I don't like tea, Silvy. Surprising, I know.
Me: Oh, Vanny. Ily. XD Hm... Sleeping pill?
Me: Try listening to rain or a thunderstorm, if you have an iPod or something, Rudy. I have pretty bad sleeping problems (well, sleeping at night) and this has helped me quite a bit.
Me: Yeah, that helps, too. I love thunderstorms!
Me: SAME. I love the pitter-patter of rain and the BOOMS.
Me: Then the huge flash of lightning! XD
Me: FLASH! XD

Hi!

We had to pick a poet and write in his style and memorize an original and a replication. My five poems were:
Original Poetry – Inspired by the works of Charles Bukowski
I Won’t
When things happen
(and happen they do)
they take whatever this shell of mine
is holding
they take whatever I’ve gained before
they happened last
they leave me the insult of leaving the shell.
I am struck
with nothing and everything at once
I have dissolved
and I am air.
But these dear friends of mine
(these darlings)
these mute and clumsy beings
stumble all over my solitude
leave me locked in the bathroom
with spirits to singe my throat
and wounds
that I did not know I had.
O spirits -
you have flooded me
with despair.
Believable Portrait
Scratching, wasting, fading, painting
it’s incredible how I am
saving the world, saving my life.
Tell me that I’m wrong little bullet, go away,
become a dream of a mere happening or a tantalizing chance.
you’re worth something
you’re worth a stammer.
Broadcast the elements,
lead them into a pipe of war
lead them into a mechanical hurricane.
Yeah baby I’m a dreamer.
The Homeless Man
One day I left my apartment
through the window
and dropped down to the broken pavement
to melt into the ordinary crowd
of people who
were buying stale coffee
and smoking stale cigarettes
I bought my stale coffee
and smoked my stale cigarette
and sat down in a corner
and held out my dirty palm
for money
Solitary Commentary
Some people say that a fool learns from their mistakes
and wise men learn from others’
but I’ve been a fool to look at others’ mistakes
and wise to forget mine.
the airplanes fly overhead
and I wonder at how advanced we’ve gotten
and I despair at how far behind we’ve fallen
the material views, the prostitutes,
the dimes, the diamonds
we all want them to be mine.
Blindness
is not cured with faith
it’s not a reality, it’s a disease
and Lord knows I have it
Poor and Starving
there is no more food in my cupboard.
Cockroaches scuttle and take the last crumbs
of dry bread
that I kept, hoarded,
the treasure of a dragon in his cave
some dragon
some cave
I lure women in and out
under the pretence of being an artist,
they take one look at the wine bottles and leave
It’s fine.
I’ve got the cockroaches for company
after all.
Me: Oh. My. God. My chest hurts now because reading all those poems took my breathe away. Amazing.

In "The Homeless Man", I would have added "dirty" before money, just for the sake of adjective repitition (you had "stale coffee" and "stale cigarettes") but that's just my own opinion. You of course don't have to.
And then I absolutely love "Poor and Starving." :)
I haven't read Bukowski, but I kind of really want to now. TO GOOGLE.

Me: Lol, same, Thera. Good thing Whim is always posting we amazing poems for us. ^.^
Me: I've written a few, but they're always so straight-forward, and you don't really have to think about their meaning
Me: I like whimsical poems. They make me feel... Whimsical. :3
Me: Sure!
Me: Nice. I have to write an essay. murr.
Me: AHH IT'S BEEN TOO LONG SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE!
Me: I NEED TO REVAMP ALL MY CHARRIES.Can I have a mod delete them all, so I can entirely re do them?
Me: XDD ima keep a few, and then make some new ones too. I need a mod on here to delete ALL posts from my old account. XD cuz I can't redo my old ones till the old old ones are gone...
ME: No, it's not. It's really hard to make the decisions.Keeping:
Avery, Edwin, Rosa, Noel. They may be the only ones.
Any objections?
Me: Mkhay. Honestly, I might start fresh. I'm not exactly sure....
Me: Idunno.... All the people they ha connections with are inactive.This is why I'm considering to get rid of Rosa... And Noel... And everyone XD
Me: I wish there was a way to delete your posts entirely without having to fond 'em. Cuz I need those CHARRIES gone...So, ima keep Edwin(apparently) and Avery?
Me: :3 So, we'll have to RP later. I'll make some new people too.OMG MY BAND TEACHER THE OTHER DAY:
"Glitter is like the herpes of the craft world. Once you get it, it's impossible to get it off."
He pauses.
"So I guess Ke$ha has a lot of glitter, then. In both ways."
WE LAUGHED SO HARD
Me: :DDSo, I'm gonna work on Schmeddie....
GOTTA GO. THERA REMIND THE MODS:
I would like ALL of my character posts and RPs deleted. I'm sure that you can delete my old account and find an option to delete the posts. As for this account... Just the characters:3 please and thanks.
