susannah, where do you get the definitions at the beginning of each of your livejournal posts?

[bellesayuri]

It's from my A Word A Day email.

I believe the website address is www.wordsmith.org.

are you rid of nigel so soon?

[bellesayuri]

Just changed. He's still there, waiting.

Why so emo? I prefer your *scrolls up* badinage... ok i'm going to go kill myself now <3's

[bellesayuri]

Ha!

Even the most vitriolic have their moments. Don't deny it, Erin -- you too have an emo kid within you, weeping to be set free.

[eotheod]

psh... but you know my emo kid.. we're not used to your emo/angst-fest kid.. hence the confusion when capslock harry your emo side comes out

[bellesayuri]

Ah, yes. I keep mine hidden away in the pages of journals; she hardly ever sees the light.

Maybe this is the beginning of something new.

I hope that everything works out right. You know that I'm here for you.

I don't mean to be insensitive or superficial, but I really liked the way you wrote this post. Very good language. I give it an A plus.

[bellesayuri]

Thank you, Nick. Maybe you can carry out the hit I'd like to happen at State. Since you're my contact there and all.

It's not insensitive or superficial at all. Reading over it, I realize this post was a departure from the norm -- much more poetic. I enjoy that. I do a lot in my personal journal, but not so much online since it's such an impersonal medium. Maybe I'll give it another go soon enough. I have to be moved, you know?

See, I don't know if poetic is the right word. Yes, some of the stuff towards the end could be considered poetic, but what really struck me were those long, drawn out sentences in the big paragraph. They're just very well put together, and very expressive. You use intelligent vocabulary without sounding pretentious and complex sentence structure without losing meaning. If I ever become an English teacher, you're the sort of student I'd want to have in my writing class.

And what you just described is to me poetic. The placement of my words is as important as the words themselve = poetry.

But I won't quibble. Thank you for the compliment. :)

Thanks, Mear! All comments are welcome and appreciated, at all times.

I love you too, Mear! And if you can guess, it's what I kind of told you about over break. Same person, same situation. Rar.
