I'm not entirely sure where I'm getting poetic inspiration, but it's just getting better and better. Maybe I'll be a published poet before I'm a novelist. If I can gather together six pages of prime poetry, The Antigonish Review will deign to look at it ^_^

I'm getting better at working in traditional forms, but I want to branch beyond iambs. My one foray into Old English styles worked well.

I went to Matt R's graduation this morning (waves at metawidget, who was also graduating, along with a certain Jesse whom foi_nefaste knows). It was much better than my own. Instead of raging homophobe, this time they gave the honourary degree to Heather Menzies, the Canadian activist, who gave a wonderful little anti-war speech in time for Remembrance Day.

(It was a nice little reminder that if we really remembered, we wouldn't be rushing headlong to support Bush's imperial wars.)

Oh, and on maidenofirisa's recommendation, I picked up Phoenix Wright. Couldn't find the first, so I jumped to the second. That game is campier than William Shatner in a production of Rocky Horror. My favourite line so far is "A lawyer is someone who smiles even when they're down."

Poetry has never been my strong point, I must admit. It would be great if you could get some published though.

I'm off to James' grad ceremony right now, as a matter of fact. ....with my purse stuffed with paper so I can write through the boring parts. I've never been big on ceremonies.

Hope you're enjoying PW. ^_^

I'm getting rapidly better at poetry -- a process moving so quickly that I actually feel a little embarrassed for the piece I posted the day before this.

I did enjoy it -- I actually finished game two, which has whetted my appetite for game one.

Seriously, is there anything you can't do, you and that luscious juicy brain of yours?

I think anyone could do the same if they applied themselves :/

I've just walked a different path than most -- that's all. I don't think I really have more potential than anyone else.
