At Night: good stuff. very evocative wording. The lack of forcedness, the spare tones bring the heartache much nearer, make it more personal, more immediate.<BR>

Well done! <BR>

Everyone views love differently.  So, yes, I do think it is possible to fall in love with someone before you meet them.  Just depends on that persons definition of love.<BR>

Love is weird, and sometimes so are the circumstances.

Misti~ I was so happy that you posted some old things... I wasn't around until '99, so that was fun! You are so talented with a pen, woman! I get all excited every time there is a new (or old) misti post! "meat market" is good. I love your stories... *cheers and applause* ~Vi

Thanks for the encouraging words. I appreciate the compliments. I'll resume work on my screenplay as soon as I have my new closet organized or as soon as I've snagged a new job, whichever comes first. Were you submitting stuff in '99?<BR>

Misti ~ I have something for you (actually I ordered it and it's on the way). It's a peace offering, since I'm the only stubborn ass that never formally apologized to you, after the last mud slinging. It's a print, and when I saw it, it had your name written all over it. So, I beg your forgivness, and ask that you email me your new address in NM so I can mail it to you when it comes. I think you'll love it.<BR>

Not to be a party pooper, but what's with all the resubs and old subs?  No new news people?  Usually I don't write if I cannot at a particular day.  I don't look back and resubmitt old material.  No offense to those who have, the stuff rocks.  Sorry to be a ranter today...luv you all anyways.<BR>

you are awesome! I just sent you a musical ecard with my new address. Couldn't find a Billy Idol song so I chose a Van Halen song from "1984." I don't feel that you or anybody else owed me a formal apology or any kind of apology. But I appreciate your kindness and thoughtfulness.<BR>
Can't wait to see the print! :)<BR>
<BR>
Max~<BR>
I don't know. I was frustrated 'cause I couldn't think up a new poem. Going through the old Heart On Sleeve archives I found some poems that I'm especially proud of. I don't make a habit of submitting old stuff. My biggest infraction is submitting lyrics. I need to stop doing that. Really.

Misti ~ You are just being too nice. I am honestly never mean. I don't know what got into me then but I promise you, I do owe you an apology. I was a bitch.<BR>
<BR>
Ok, I can't keep secrets. I'm not going to tell you what the print is. But I have to hint. It's a California artist who illustrates children's books, and for some bizzare reason, did a calender and prints this year of Velvet Hammer Burlesque 50's pinups. There is one that is just you.

Ok So I've been lurking lately and in and out. I read it all and I tried one day to make comment and had two pages of ones I loved and got tired and gave up. Know that you all are special and unique and it keeps me here amongst you all. My Uncle is no better, still in ICU and looks like a big experiment and my nerves are shot and I am taking some time off this week and will take time and tell you what I like and why. Glad to see Akash back and Jubal where are you and SCQueen, Tanqueray and Darlin Rhet why arent you all writing. Misti, Gala and Varda I loved the old poetry  amongst the new and Max I printed out over 600 poems and some of them were so emotional that I had to share my favorites again. But I'm finished with that now so the ordeal is over. ha To all who said anything about my work thank you all so very much, it means a lot and know it is not ever overlooked just crazy times right now, but as I said I lurk. And yes TJ, Jackrhyme is mine, but I will share as I notice hes telling you all he loves you too ha. And I will go now before i use its and breathe wrong and the Natzi grama-queen comes to get me. Its ok Madison just breath ha ha ha (I love it and i am kidding) ok so I'm back to the art of the lurk and big hugs to you all!<BR>

Well speaking only for me, I churned out over five hundred poems in 18 months...and there is mostly a new crowd lately...so...a re-run every once in a while doesn't strike me as a heinous act....

Misti, Chris, I apologize for my actions over all the misunderstandings way back when.  There is plenty of blame to go around, and I accept my share of it.
