Well, hello there

Yep ... I read your post at add_a_writer and you seemed awesome. I love falling in love with characters, and so I'm going to add you. ^_^ Yay to other writers!

[eleonoraj]

Thank you!! I've added you back. ^.^ And you seem awesome as well! I was looking at your journal and you appear to like edgar allan poe, if so, I really like him as well!

[darkspirited1]

Thanks for the add. ^_^ I just visited your profile page and was like OMG! POE! My first major reward for NaNo was a leather bound book containing all his poems and short stories. I am super excited bout it. I haven't been able to read it yet though. I don't know too many of his works aside from the more popular ones, so I can't wait to be able to delve into the book. So as of right now, my favorite is still The Raven, hence the title of my journal and all that.

What's your favorite piece by him?

[eleonoraj]

"OMG!POE!" Haha, that's a nice reaction :]

I also have a book of all of his works, but like you, I haven't been able to read as many of them as I'd like, but I'm definitely going to work on it :]

One of the pieces I really liked is a short story named Eleonora (where I got the idea for my user name/the excerpt in the bio from my user info)

It's this nice little short story that really stuck with me for some reason - I think it might have to do with how it talks about dreaming by day and the great mystery of it all.

The Raven really is a great piece, though. It's one of those poems that you can read over and over again and half hope to look up and see a raven at your window :]

[darkspirited1]

Oo, I'll have to remember to put that one at the list of first reads when I do open it. It's still even in the wrapper. :(

It really is one that you can read over and over. Ravens are among one of my favorite birds, so I wish I could find one at my window.

So, random-esk note, there's a band I like called Creature Feature. You should read the lyrics to Buried Alive (http://www.sweetslyrics.com/460301.Creature%20Feature%20-%20Buried%20Alive%20Lyrics.html). They're based off Edgar Allen Poe stories (which is where I got the saying for my blog at). OK, so you don't really have to. That's cool too. :]

[eleonoraj]

I read the lyrics!! And liked them as well!

Especially this verse;

"I Forever Dream Within A Dream
Of A Certain City In The Sea
As I Walk The Valley Of Unrest
Behind This Mask Of Crimson Death"

very nice imagery ^^ thanks for sending me the link :]

And I really like ravens, if one appeared at my window, I'd definitely let them in:)

Thanks! I've added you as well :)

[amikuchan]

I would be terribly interested in reading something of yours. (it's the love of T.S. Eliot that we share that brought me here)

[eleonoraj]

haha why thank you for the interest (sparked by a great poet!)

If you read anything I'd definitely be grateful =]

I'm planning on switching over to a new journal in a few days, so I'll add you there when I set it up as well!
