The truth is I read these poems days and days ago, but, see, I was on the phone with Cookie at the time so I did not reply. And then there was all the goddamned moving, which was also no good. ANYWAY, REAL, ACTUAL, GENUINE THOUGHTS AND REACTION START…NOW!
Here's why I like your poems, always: THEY SOUND LIKE SONGS. AND THEY MAKE ME HEAR, LIKE, BACKING MUSIC IN MY HEAD. THIS GOES ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE SILLY BEAN POEM FROM FOREVER AGO. Not that free-form incest-y one, though. I heard no music to that.
But I like this. It makes me want to write music, and that is never a bad thing. I am a terrible judge of poetry content, and I think that's usually a reasonably personal thing, anyway. So instead, I will just say that I like the form and the way they sound.
NICE WORK BURBLES. AND I STILL MISS YOU AND YOUR AWESOMELY RANDOM MEMES. THEIR ABSENCE HAS LEFT A HOLE IN MY HEART THAT I CAN ONLY FILL WITH DRUGS, BOOZE, AND CHEAP, SLEAZY WOMEN AND SOMETIMES MEN. BUT I AM GETTING BETTER, I SWEAR.
More importantly: livejournal is such a tragic place without your beautiful posts and hilarity! I look like this all the time D: except today when I saw this post and my face did this :DD upon my growing a second mouth.
NOT THAT I'M ONE TO TALK, I HAVEN'T POSTED ANYTHING IN AAAAGES. ANYWHO, I LIKE THE POEMS. IDK WHAT ELSE TO SAY, THOUGH. I'M NOT VERY GOOD AT COMMENTING ON POETRY. I CAN'T REALLY DO ANY BETTER THAN "I LIKED IT," "IT SUCKED," OR "IT MADE MY HEAD HURT. WTF?"
LOL. Well, we didn't just DEFRIEND you. I went through a phase where I wasn't checking my flist so much, so it's a good thing you caught me on an LJ day. ALSO, you might wanna actually respond to the two other comments you got, since they won't get an alert for a comment you made on your own post, and so they might not see this comment.
I feel like I haven't spoken to you in YEARS, but it's really only been a little over a month.
Hahaha OMG you are SO RIGHT. I totally forgot LJ isn't facebook. I feel retarded right now. Has it really not been that long??? I don't even know what is going on with time anymore.
Hey! Hey!!!! HEY!!! I was away for a while and when I came back I saw that your name had one of those strikes through it... and I was, like "Huh?" Then everyone told me you had left and I was still sad, but in an "At least it was a choice and not by force or something" kind of way. Still, it sucks mightily. I really, really liked the poems. They were fun and interesting and there was something about the way the words went together and the rhythm of it. I don't know what I'm trying to say, but as I started reading, I was like, "This would sound really cool read aloud," but, I didn't want to be a weirdo sitting alone in my room reading out loud, so I did not. I don't even think that run-on sentence was grammatically correct, but I don't know how else to describe it.
Thanks! Yeah, I really thought I was done with lj for awhile... and then today i was going to vintagephoto and it signed me in and I was like, "What the hell, nobody probably looks at this journal anymore anyway." And then it turns out, people do!
But thank you, I really thought these poems were sort of well fitted-together, IDK either. heh.

Yep! We briefly spoke during Comic Con when beanie called you. And before that... I think we spoke in late May/early June.
