hmmmm.

am thinking perhaps i will make a running commentary here of what i read at the site today.

voted on a new member. accepted it. wish i could remember who it was now. short work, didn't find it very memorable but it did catch my attention at the time. can be rather hard to put a thought on paper in only four lines.

just looked at Tisha Gavito's works. she has two posted right now on the same theme. didn't leave comments, not much to say. when somebody has a poor relationship with their father, to read pieces like that is alot like window peeping into an entirely foreign culture and not -quite- being able to grasp the meaning of what is being seen.

moved on to read some of the most read poetry. did like 'this is not an "I" poem' by Ian Marlowe. particularly amused by his line 'Even crop circles and UFO's know their place in this conspiracy.'

most eyecatching title so far is 'anarchist barbie doll' by Dara C. Lynn. poem was interesting, but in my opinion the actual writing didn't live up to the curiousity inspired by it. still found it an interesting read however.

sometimes making a fuss helps

well, i'm finally in -here-. now the question is: do i want to be? the comments i've gotten on my work have been nice for my confidence. mel always said it was good, but to have total strangers read it and like it is something else.

still not sure what the problem was with the verification process. but sending annoyed letters to people in charge does actually work occasionally. few hours after i sent the letter i was both verified and confirmed as a member. fast work there, but the speediness did impress me.

waiting to see how it all works out though. have been made aware of the recent stink over the previous layouts. of course that was right after i had already submitted my application so it was too late to stop without alot of hassle. then again, it prob'ly wasn't any more hassle than having to complain about the verification url not verifying me. it does make me wary. i'm no firebrand but i do speak my mind. on the other hand, i'm maybe too inclined to give people the benefit of the doubt when i only see one half of a story.

time will tell.
