I fucking love you and your writing, Amanda. Omg.

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS. Jeez.

[carrot_carrot]

WHAT DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO HAPPEN?

(omg thank youuuuu~!)

[ow200]

ER. SHE KILLS HERSELF? Lol, I've no idea, honestly. I guess she's run away, right? But past that no tengo idea.

I hope they end together, though. :D

(Welcome~)

Oh, also. I want to do a discussion on spoken word/slam poetry for an English discussion group I'm in and I was wondering several things:
1. Do you have any good spoken word/slam recs (other than Rives and Gemineye, cos they're the two I know well)?
2. Are transcripts of any spoken word poems available online, that you know of?
3. Do you know if I can easily download any videos of Rives, etc (cos I have a program to take them off youtube but if there is an easier place that would, obvs, be better)?

[carrot_carrot]

UM NO.

Well, I could tell you, I suppose. And love the spanish, dear. :D

1. Why yes I really do.
2. & 3. Both can be gotten at Rives' site: shoplift windchimes.

[ow200]

DO. DO TELL ME. HEEEE~ :D You could screen the comment to prevent spoiling for anyone else.

Hehe, it's pretty much all I remember. It was all I ever said in reply to questions :P

HEEE~ Ilusm. Thank you thank you. I'm gonna show those conservative Oxbridge graduates, just you wait :P

[carrot_carrot]

Haha, like so many other people read this stuff. :P

[ow200]

Oh... Oh gosh. That's so sad. D: I love it.

[carrot_carrot]

Well thank you. :D

[ow200]

Auuuugh... It's so saddddd.

(Yes, I realise I've already replied, but I just needed to reiterate how SADDENING that was.)

[all_in_green]

Haha, I try! I'm glad you like it.

[ow200]

Oh, also, 'Manda, may I please use your poem about defining poetry that you wrote maybe a month back? Obviously, I'd give you due credit. (How does "online poet Amanda Figueroa" [that's how your surname's spelt, right? I can't remember but I think I saw it on facebook] sound? :P)

[carrot_carrot]

Yes and yes! Go for it! And tell people perhaps about my carrot-carrot writings, please.

[ow200]

Omg, I'd love to. :D Heeee~ I am SO blackmailing my school's Upper Sixth LitSoc into letting me do something on Alternative/Spoken Word/Slam Poetry and including your poem. I'll put a link to your writings at the bottom of it.

[carrot_carrot]

Oh thank you so much!! :D

Wow, I'm really excited for you!

[ow200]

You're welcome. I showed some friends your poem today as well as playing them some Rives, etc and they all loved it/them.

... That's if the teachers will allow me. See, as I'm moving to Westminster they're giving priority to others for talks in LitSoc. DDD: Meaaaan of them. Plus, my idea is so much more interesting than some of the others'.

[carrot_carrot]

Oh I'm so glad. :]

Awww, that sucks! I hope you get to.
