Angelasana~I loved <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.03.20.16.31.32266">The Quarrel</a>, that is exactly what I am going through with my boyfriend tonight! We were on the phone talking and then the next thing he says is "I gotta go." I asked if everything was okay and he just sighed and mumbled a "yeah, later" and then hung up. I was like "what's the deal?!" Who knows, anyway....you've got my applause!<BR>
<BR>
Jon~<a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.03.20.16.36.8446">Our Room</a>, sooo sweet and soooo very sad. It's just too hard to let some things go, especially when our hearts don't really want to even though our minds our telling us that it's for the best.<BR>
<BR>
Angel Eyes~<a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.03.20.22.03.15575">Childhood Nightmares</a> was excellent! <BR>
<BR>
Splatipus~Great job on all of your work! I enjoyed every poem you submitted. You are a talented writer.<BR>
<BR>
Well, that's all I've got time for tonight, take care,<BR>

Hey Ophie! Wow what a TRIP seein ya here. From the looks of things you been causin trouble. Well I'm not suprised. But whats with all the lessbian stuff? This all comes as "news" to me! HAHA! As far as I knew you weren't no lesbo last December (not that theres anything "wrong" with that). Now I know you wrote about what we had so's I KNOW I'm not telling tales out of school or anything...... I mean, dont you remember the night we shared? It's me, the Indiana U guy! I guess I'm kind of hurt or something. You said to call but when I did something was wrong with the number an I couldn't get you. You said lots of things that night too. E-mail me and maybe we can talk......

I find myself in agreement that (even though it wasn't originally framed in the form of a proper question) what Gorgon and Kirk have discussed would (and will) be a good survey question.  And now that I am (finally) back online at home, I'll put it up - but next week.  I already posted one for now.

Your writing is showing a truly amazing depth.  <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.03.20.06.03.614">Starter Marriages</a> just blew me away.  In some way, as I reflect on 19 years of my own marriage (Tuesday was our anniversary, as a matter of fact), it too was a 'starter' for quite a while...  Excellent, excellent  writing.

WOW...your writing is amazing.  Your newest is universal - those that know what it is, understand.  You know how to comment on the experience of being.  Rarely, do you waste words for effect.  I admire your talet as I would reading Plath or Wordsworth.  <BR>
<BR>
You are one of the most gifted writers I have ever read.<BR>

Good morning all, just some random thoughts for today:<BR>
<BR>
BK, jealous of you!  Every time I went to one of his concerts I wanted to be on stage with him. On top of the talent, he always seemed like a regular guy.  Chris, if you don't have the new album, buy it!  Old & new all mixed together - fabulous!<BR>
<BR>
Misti, I loved "Starter Marraiges".  Once again, I'm amazed by your words :)<BR>
<BR>
Vi, our day is 6/1. Quickly approaching!!  I am so ready to be done with the planning and on with the honeymoon ;)  <BR>
<BR>
Kev, happy anniversary! <BR>
<BR>
Off to mourn more snow...<BR>

Hullo Kirk ~ I didn't intend to start a brainiac war or anything, just thought people might enjoy seeing what they had when it came to Mensa's standards. I had fun when I did Mensa's testing. <BR>
<BR>
And yes, making fun of people's names is somewhat juvenile and I'm guilty as charged. Am I ashamed of it? Nah. Some people just scream for attention and sometimes I just thrill in giving to them. Sorry if it got on YOUR nerves. <BR>
:-)<BR>
<BR>
Anyway, thankfully things seem to be mellowing here again (the ebb and flow of the tide...the cycles of the moon...and the mood of the Blender Board). I'm working lots of overtime this month, so I'll be a good girl again for a while. lol!

I taste your words and watch them dance<BR>
As your lips begin this tale of romance.<BR>
Of maidens and warriors, kings and queens<BR>
And nightly voyages through many a dream<BR>
To wonder what was in times long past<BR>
In delight and hope my dream shall last. <BR>

BK, your poems are so fabulously happy, they always put a smile on my face.  I find it so much easier to write about the sad things so when it comes to the outrageously happy times i am at a loss......i can't turn my happiness into words.  you seem to do it soooo effortlessly!!

Indiana U??  Are you also from Virginia?  That's where the lovely and charming Ophelia lives. Believe me, I should know! Going all the way across those miles of land just to rap at her window!!!<BR>
<BR>
Wow...now that' what I call love!!<BR>
<BR>
I'll give her up because I can see you love her...she and I were merely grrrlllls together!!<BR>
<BR>
P.S. Your poem was nice but all the misspellings were distracting...Indiana U is NOT doing right by you, pal!!

Babes, I've been writing stuff for years but never really talked about it. Have a million chamba influenced unfinished novels stuck on disk.<BR>
<BR>
Loved all your stuff (which you have been hiding from us too!!), Changes and It Should Have Been You are my favorites.<BR>
<BR>
Jennifer, thankyou for your kind comments. They're really meant to be lyrics which i hope to record when I'm happy with the tunes I've got.<BR>
