Kinda, yeah. :]

[Sam~~ we cannot see the moon, and yet the waves still rise~~]

haha. do you, like, live there or go to school there?

[Taylor]

@Sam
If you love that poem, you'll love one I'm performing next month. It was originally supposed to be just a very raw confession sort of poem, but turned into a love poem. I wrote it based off Savannah back when I first had super strong feelings for her.

She's actually going to be there to perform something that night. So it'll work out well. :D

[Sam~~ we cannot see the moon, and yet the waves still rise~~]

AHH I'M SO EXCITED.
and yay that is cool that she is going to be there this time to see it.
i'm guessing she knows it is about her?

[Taylor]

Yeah. What happened was this. I showed her a poem I'd written (On the Wall, actually) and she did some super overanalysis of it. And I told her, "Guess what I wrote this poem about you and you should hear it." I read it to her after a planning meeting for our writing group, and she kinda likes it.

Whoops! Autocorrected to the wrong name. I was talking to you.

I dunno…what state do you live in? There's usually an underground poetry community at least somewhere. Might take a bit of drivi..."

*gasp* My name is on your autocorrect? *is flattered* :P

[Sam~~ we cannot see the moon, and yet the waves still rise~~]

ah ah ahh so cuteee:)

dude that's, like,... the kind of thing you see in movies.aw.

wait so did she have feelings for you too?

[Taylor]

@Sev
It kept on switching to "save" (which is almost the same thing), so I hacked my device and changed it. :D

@Sam
I don't really have strong feelings for her anymore, but she definitely likes me a lot.

I KNOW WHY. IT'S BECAUSE OF THOSE BEAUTIFUL EYES YOU HAVE TO SHOW ME A PIC OF XD XD XD

[Taylor]

I'm in a house with some really bad lighting. I'll take a pic at school tomorrow, provided my shockingly chapped lips don't look too gross. :D

[Dana]

wow in the "short" time I've been gone a lot has happened XD

But anyway thanks so much guys for all your input, I'm going to go ahead and write a lot of my story :D

Yes it will have a lot of so-called personification. I mean, the chapters told from objects' point of view might reveal interesting little threads, I don't know yet at this point but I think I'll just see where this idea takes me... :DD

Both.

I can't wait to read it!

[Taylor]

My two best friends are now getting interested in slam poetry and they're writing some. *fistpump*

[Colby]

Slam poetry is really cool. I would write it, but if I wrote something truthful at all and powerful enough to be in a slam, it'd be either a) about my sexuality, which nonono I would never perform or b) a sloppy rewrite of something George Watsky's already written. XD

[Taylor]

@Colby
I heard a really powerful poem from a homosexual once…you could do it.

Actually, now I'm pissed that they're writing slam poetry now. They both wrote about these guys they have crushes on, and I'm like, "Way to make me jealous, yo."

[Colby]

The difference is, nobody here knows I'm bi but my best friend. And I'm not planning on coming out anytime soon (or, like, at all) and definitely not using a poem! XD

[Taylor]

Not using a poem? That might actually be a good way to do it. You won't get lynched on the spot. :D

[Colby]

Haha. No, not at all. My dad's a total ass when it comes to that kind of stuff. It'd be great to stop hiding, but it's not worth my father no longer being my father.

[Taylor]

Man, I know what you're feeling to some degree. Like, when I told my parents I was suicidal all the time and struggling emotionally, they kinda started treating me like I was some animal for having chemical imbalances. They've made some not nice jokes about it, too….

So I totally respect that opinion. I definitely feel like everyone (including the minority groups) takes sexuality a little too seriously.

[Isaac]

I don't even know what to do with me. Like my parents are religious and stuff and I wouldn't necessarily call them homophobic but they say some stuff sometime so I don't know how they would react to asexuality so I'm just going to keep it to myself.

[Elliott]

I don't think people who don't believe that being gay is right have a problem with asexuality? It's not considered a sin to abstain...

[Isaac]

My mom gets mad at me when I say I don't want to get married.

And there's the fact I'm genuinely interest in cross-dressing.

[Taylor]

Why are you tired?

[Taylor]

10:45. I'm just to the east of you.

Sorry to be so slow. I'm on the phone with that Hazel gal. We might hang out after my piano performance eval.

whaaat (your mom, not the cross dressing. that would b..."

((Seriously I would love to cross-dress))

But yeah when I say I don't want to get married she's like "EMILY WHY YOU'LL FALL IN LOVE SOME DAY DO YOU HAVE A BAD SELF-ESTEEM" and blah blah blah and she gets genuinely POed.

I mean, it also doesn't help when you've called your dad homophobic before and he said, "No, I'm not homophobic, I just f*cking hate faggots." So yeah.

DON'T GET ME WRONG HE'S A GREAT FATHER.

I just yeah.

[Colby]

What?

[Sevania]

Here's a lump for you all to digest:

Say you are living in a post-apocalyptic world. Your best friend has just been shot and there is next to no chance of them surviving, and if they do they will live the rest of their lives in miserable pain. You have a loaded pistol and you know how to use it. Not only that, but they are asking- begging- you to put them out of their misery. Answer me honestly: could you do it? What if the person were someone you had never seen before? Would you still do the same?

[Sevania]

And if you're wondering why I'm asking there is going to be a scene similar to that in the book I'm writing only I don't know what the main character will do.

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

I figured it was for writing purposes. Ah haha.
I mean, if it was someone I'd never seen before I'd probably have less trouble doing it. If it was someone I loved, I'd probably still do it because I'd know it would end their pain and everything ... it would just be a lot harder to do. Definitely not an easy decision. :P

[Elliott]

If they asked me to, I would do it. It would take me a while to get up the courage and I probably wouldn't be able to look, but I wouldn't want to let them suffer, especially if they were begging me to end their life. But I can see why someone wouldn't do it. Kind of the whole "who am I to play God" argument or whatever. It could go either way.

[Colby]

Also, it would just be really freaking hard to kill your best friend, even if they were in an insane amount of pain. Either way, you'd be scarred afterwards.

[Sevania]

Thanks, guys.

So, what if they said they wanted to live but you knew there was absolutely no chance for them and they were still in a huge amount of pain?

[Elliott]

If they wanted to live, I wouldn't shoot them.

[Colby]

[Colby]

A NOTE: You shouldn't just go off of our reactions. Look at your character - what would make the most sense for him/her to do? How do their thought processes run? That's what you should write based off of.

[Isaac]

Holden wrote: "DUDE LIKE JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE IN LOVE DOESN'T MEAN YOU'LL WANT TO SHOW THAT LOVE BY MAKING SCREAMING CRYING POOPY BABIES I MEAN POOP ISN'T ROMANTIC IN THE SLIGHTEST"

EXACTLY

I WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT THIS TO SOMEBODY

TO ME PHYSICAL INTIMACY ISN'T ROMANTIC IT'S UNNECESSARY GROSSNESS

UGH I JUST HATE BEING TOUCHED IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM

[Taylor]

@Sev
I would shoot them, then kill myself. For real. Because, if it were my best friend, I couldn't live a day without her.

[Sevania]

Colby wrote: "A NOTE: You shouldn't just go off of our reactions. Look at your character - what would make the most sense for him/her to do? How do their thought processes run? That's what you should write based..."

Yeah, I know. I'm trying to make my characters seem really human and I truly didn't know what she would do. I wanted to see what other people would do in order to decide.

I think I have a better idea now.

Sorry to depress you guys, but it really helped!

[Taylor]

@Jude
Yup. I also thought of my two other close friends, and concluded I'd do the same thing.

[Isaac]

If I didn't believe they could go on and they would die, and they wanted to die, then I would probably shoot them but be scarred for life.

[Taylor]

Just applied for on-campus housing. Life is now very real.

Taylor [formerly Timothy] wrote: "Just applied for on-campus housing. Life is now very real."

hahaha taylor i love how everyone's talking about death and killing your best friend and stuff and then you are talking about college and housing and blahh... but AHH THAT'S CRAZY YOU'RE GOING TO BE A COLLEGE PERSON STUFFS.

(also, that's kind of freaking me out since i have no idea yet what college i'm go to next year. no biggie. BUT AHH THAT'S SO EXCITING.)

@Sev I would not be able to do it, honestly.

@Emily I think it is so cool that you know that already in your life and are committed to that. i think if i tried doing something like that i would be swayed by the next person i met. i know it's cliche and whatever but i guess i don't know that much about myself and who i want to be. so it is so cool to me that you're only in high school and you are so sure. pretty awesome.

[Taylor]

@Sam
College is death. Except that every bit of free time will be spent hanging out with Hazel (who I will hopefully not need to kill) and a bunch of friends. C'est la vie.

"college is death"... that's not a depressing way to look at it at all. :P but that's cool that you're going to be with friends, i'm probably going to be the only one going to the college i go to in my grade. *gulp*. what do you want to do after college?

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

Well, I think college is awesome. :)

[Taylor]

@Sam
I want to work for the Mormon church as a seminary instructor, while writing and composing on the side. You?

@Jude
I thought about that this morning, but I was in a public bathroom, so I didn't think y'all wanted that picture even though the lighting was good. I just have awful lighting in my house and I took multiple pictures around my house, but all of them shade my eyes.

[Sam~~ we cannot see the moon, and yet the waves still rise~~]

Jude wrote: "Hey Taylor what ever happened to getting us a picture of those sexy eyes of yours?"

YEAH. YEAHYEAHYEAH. NO EXCUSES.

haha that's cool, i'm guessing that's a kind of teacher?
i want to be a reading specialist. so yeah. helping kids learn to read. kinda self-explanatory.:p

@Brigid I'm really hoping I'll have an awesome college experience... and then I hear all these crazy stories about insane doormates and stuff (and Taylor being super dramatic:D) and... ahh. not sure whether to be excited or not, haha:L

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

Ahh, true. I admit I have a different experience from a lot of people, since actually the majority of freshmen at my school have singles. And then once you're an upperclassman, you and your friends can arrange to move into a "mod" together––which are these apartment-type things on campus. And that's nice because you get to choose who you live with.

But I think even with bad roommate experiences, people tend to have fun at college anyway. ;)
