glowing
I should be sleeping, goddamnit, but I am still in the afterglow of poetry night at Fantasia. It was so awesome. I got to read this time, pretty close to the end so I was worried I was going to get cut again, but I didn’t. I came intending to read the story about the broken wine bottles at the grocery store, but I started writing something else while waiting to sign up.
I’ve really wanted to get some poetry out of my system for a long time, I haven’t written anything in ages. The last thing was that stupid poem about Eli and before then I don’t think I’d written since high school. I knew I had it in me, but I didn't know what it would take to get it out. I just sort of started writing with Devin's pen. It seemed like a magic pen, but using a different one seemed to yield the same results, so I can't really blame the pen? Can I blame Devin? Can I say that I absorbed the poem through him via osmosis? No... it was very much my poem, just inspired by him. I don't even know where it came from, but it is probably the coolest thing I've ever written. Devin really liked it. I'm glad I decided to read it, because the audience seemed to really like it, too.
This is all really for my ego: This one guy who only stood up for a few people stood up to applaud for me, and this girl near me gave me a big smile and thumbs up, and the enthusiasm just seemed heightened. Devin also greeted me with a big smile. It felt so good.
I think some of the nice things Devin has said to me will carry me through the rest of my life. I just can't believe being paid such compliments, they've had such a profound effect on me. I am just glowing right now.
