It was recently brought to my attention that my poems are pointless. Well, that wasn't news to me, to be honest, I don't think that poems really have to be anything special, or profound. To me, they're a vessel for letting thoughts out, but in a different way from prose. I don't really care about the normal trappings of a poem (enjambement, rhyming, repetition etc), but I do care if I get thoughts out of my head. One of my favourite poets is Spike Milligan. If you've read anything by him, you'll know that his poems are generally silly little things, based on snippets of his life, like White Mice, where he asks "what colour is the price of those white mice?" That was inspired by his daughter, asking that question, and he turned it into a poem. It had significance for him, but to the reader, it was just a silly poem.
But, I'm now asking you: What the hell is a poem, to you?

Hmm, red. I'm pretty wary of it, but I do like warmer colours more than cool ones, not to mention, I got really sick of blue when I was building computers, 'cause most LED fans, when LED fans were first popular, were blue. It was truly horrid.

Well, I may have an interview soon. I'm being shortlisted, so here's hoping they bring me in, and then I get the job. Once I get the job, I can finally implement my plans. Though, I am worried about one thing, and that's my tendinitis getting worse. The job requires a lot of typing, so if I'm given a crappy keyboard, I'm screwed. I remember when I was working, I was pretty prolific because I had ready made stories just unfolding in front of me. Not that I ever used any of them ;)

Hot tea, for sure. Oh and a cuddle. Really close and tight one, that lasts until the tea is cool enough to drink, then I shall drink my tea, then resume cuddling.

Hmm, I don't know. It involves a bunch of things, but nothing really specific. I do know that I'm afraid. I don't know why, I have no idea why I feel nervous, why I'm feeling anxious. What started it, I don't know.
There is one thing I know for sure. I want Aria. I want to snuggle with her. I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I want to meet her sometime soon. I have not got the money. I can't seem to get a job, my jewellery doesn't seem to sell, therefore I can't meet her. For nearly two years we've been friends, and more than friends, and really all I want to do, is get over there, live with her and start my life with her.
I just can't stand not being there.
Please, I just want to be there.
Please.

Neither. I don't fancy celebrating a massacre, and we don't have Thanksgiving in Britain.

Well, it isn't a holiday, but Hallowe'en. I just love dressing up and scaring folk and being silly, and doing spells and protection rituals.

Rebel is pretty cool. I sorta miss our weird chats, 'cause we're never on at the same time. Oh, and when there's banter in the mix, she can give as good as she gets

Oi! All you long-time cooks, help please!
I decided I was gonna pick out a random sauce from the asian section of the supermarket and make a side dish with it. Only problem is, I can't find a veggie-only recipe to go with it. Do y'all know of anything to make using DUCK SAUCE?
Any tips would be wonderful, I'm making it Friday when my dad's off and prepping Thursday, soooooo!
How about spring rolls? You could use the duck sauce as a dip.

You called mate?
And good God! I have been gone for eons! *Yawn* Anyone forget who I am?
Yeah, but where's your counterpart, Face?
I often forget who I am btw. It can be a bit confounding.
Not sure! But it's damned good to be at the end of the line, yeah?
Youre darned right, it is.

I love cherry blossoms. so I am sorry if cherry blossoms are in most of my stories.
Don't be sorry, it's something that makes your stories unique. A writer, in my opinion, should never apologise for something they love.

I can't really point you to any books or websites, but I can tell you a little of what I know, form legends that I've heard over the years. Good lord, that makes me sound OLD! Anyway:
Legend has it that there is only one unicorn in the world, and its horn has healing powers. In giving up its horn, it dies, but a new one takes its place. That is why the unicorn is known to be immortal. For the same reason, it is also the symbol of death and rebirth. I've always thought it was an error that it was white, because despite it being pure, it should be black because in many cultures, the colour black is the colour of death and rebirth.
Just about every culture has a legend, or set of legends, about unicorns. They tend to capture the heart and imagination of people.

I believe I've posted this a few times, but it merits posting again. I've seen this band live a few times and they toured with Limp Bizkit. Bunch of good guys... Well, their drummer is, at least. I used to work with the drummer, and I don't know the rest of them to say one way or the other, but they make good music, anyway.
