2000-10-19 - 15:15:56 Poetry? Just for the record, I've never met anyone I've "met" online. I do know someone who married her online boyfriend and met him face-to-face for the first time the day before the wedding. I don't know if any of that's relevant or not, but there you go. (Don't know what I'm talking about? Check out the guestbook.) I've been reading a lot of poetry in diaries lately. I'm not a good person to talk about this particular topic, because I've kind of been soured on it. (I once belonged to a bbs poetry group, where I got so fed up with the drivel and dreck and the two-faced "appreciation" that I wrote what was probably the Worst Poem Ever. I don't remember most of it, except the part that went "maybe I should kill myself/end my life/with a knife" and when I got all the comments about how beautiful and insightful my "poem" was, I left and have been in an antipoetry world since then.) Which is not to say that I think poetry in diaries makes them bad. I don't usually read it, but that's me. Not my bag, baby. But today, I've quoted a poem from a diary, which I didn't think I'd ever do. So I'm curious as to what y'all think. From Smoocher People in MENSA should know better than to stick a MENSA bumper sticker on their car. If anything, MENSA should hand out bumper stickers as a trick, and if a member sticks it on their car, then they�re automatically disqualified. From Valierran work and be cheerful From Good Advice But NYC is expensive and that reality will slap you in the face harder than a transvesite lounge singer when you grab her microphone. From Kuinileti (via Waterbelle) okay fine. everything i made ended up looking like phallus, okay? there. i said it. phallus. I wanted to ask what the hell the glove was about, but then I decided that there wasn�t an explanation that wouldn�t make me laugh so I chose not to ask. From PixieKittie (via PixGrrl) The past lingers like love like lint.
