I don't know who you were.
But you walked by my car this morning as I was listening to Led Zeppelin at the stop light and you shouted RAMBLE ON with me.
and it rocked my entire day.
i really wish i could write poetry.
but everything comes out all wrong.
* sigh *
aren't i guaranteed at least ONE muse??
COMMENTS
*Looks in handbag and pulls out a muse*.....hands it over....enjoy lol
i hope this muse works.
* taps her cage *
You do not need to write poetry to have a muse. And, you do not need a muse to write poetry...
Poetry my friend, comes from you. The "muse" is you. Yourself. Your feelings and thoughts. It is not a NEED to think about anybody else to write poetry.
Poetry comes from your heart.
All you need, is listen to your heart.
=)
Well, there's your first mistake, the cage. Try a jar...let her earn her air holes :)
Week is up. I am here to collect on your writing debt. I will return tomorrow. I sincerely hope I will not have to repo the muse.

hmmm... VR sure has been down a lot lately.
i hope there's a fix.
COMMENTS
me too.
yay! it appears to be working.
now i can et my fix.
*taps forearm*
i really don't care about the down rating, by the way. well, except the 1 i received from a former coven-mate who bombed me on his way out the door.
that's class.
you stay classy, guy.
i don't quite understand the 1's i received on THE DAY i set up my account last october. i hadn't even finished typing anything. and there it is - a ONE. i suppose i could track the VR members down and request a re-rate, but i don't have time to micromanage my ego. i'll save it for a rainy day.
besides, i don't care enough to make an appeal...or to go groveling for something -- even if that something is fairness.
whatev
isn't that what they say these days?
and then there's the Drama.
i have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to drama. i won't add to it here.
i will only state again; i do not care about the ratings.
ya know, it's a funny thing.
the 1s and 2s i can attribute to laziness and mean-spiritedness. This to me is oddly comforting. it's the speed and efficiency of Not Thinking. it's very American.
like i said, it's comforting.
predictable.
i think it's the 5s that are most honest, and thus, potentially more harmful.
it's a perfectly fair rating.
and thus, a stamp of mediocrity.
so why is that such a downer?
more on this later.

Most new members get a 5 from me. I figure, their profile could get better, or worse. If they ask me to update my rate, it gets done.
People with "im hott and sexi but im wit sum1 so u can look but dont touch" get a 1...They're idiots, if that's how they describe themselves, that's retarded.
People like to be mean to newcomers...It's nothing new.
I always felt it a waste of time to run around tracking down members. Isn't it more lazy to give someone a low rating when you know they are not finished, rather than wait till they are and then rate them. Giving a low rate to anyone that has only been here a few days is just ridiculous. It shows how lazy the rater is not the person with the new profile.
yup... i'll admit, i'll leave 9s and 10s out of laziness as well. I'd rather err on the side of optimism.
I've always asked this question myself. I mean, ok, you don't like their profile, I don't like their profile. But it wasn't made for you or me. It was made to the taste of its owner. To me, that's a 10 in itself. Unless it's some dumwit who has an empty profile and spends his time here harassing the girls of VR.
'zactly -- or if it's some dimwit who says "omg!1! i dont know what to say. just ask!"
um, no.
i'm not going to. i'm already disinterested.
or the people who bravely state this: "i'm the grl ur mother warned u about! mess with me and ul b sry!!1!"
riiiiiiiiiiight.
* yawn *
i'm messing with you in ways you can't imagine.
those profiles aren't worth rating, but since moving up to Sire depends on the % of profiles rated, i gotta rate all the profiles i can.
how do i rate them?
I will leave it up to your imagination.
wow! I have been given the gift of a Premium membership! Thanks!
which means, i suppose, that i'll have to make this a little more presentable. [edited for typos] and I'll have fix all these typos. dammit. And of course, I'll have to see who downrated me over the last 6 months.
*sharpens his fangs*
more later!
i'm considering a premium membership.
not for the aesthetic reasons; i don't think i'm interested in changing my profile or theway ot works (some people should NOT be in charge of designing a website)...but for the more practical reasons; visitor tracking, embedded tags, video, more pics, etc.
thoughts?
any input would be appreciated.
COMMENTS
DO IT! DO IT NOW!!
lol How's that for input? In all seriousness, I would definitely recommend going Premium. Once you do, you'll feel naked without it. Even if you don't change your profile much, you'll still have other perks. I have a Lifetime Membership and I'm not a bit sorry. :)
Oh, and I'm adding your journal to my Favs, btw. ;)
I think you should go the whole hog....then come and do my page lol

damn... i could have SWORN i just edited out those typos. DAMN.
*mumbles angrily to himself and sips coffee*
when i find your profile, i rate it -- then i read your journals.
all of them.
every word.
i don't always leave a comment but i do read it.
it's like an addiction.
worse, maybe.
there's no antidote.
i'm happier when i don't watch the news.
of course, then i don't know what's going on. Ever. people accuse me of being in a bubble.
they may have a point.
Now....it can be argued that what we call "the news" really isn't useful information, and it can be argued, still, that all you need in life is a daily weather forecast and last night's sports re-cap...
and possibly a traffic update.
so, yes, ignorance really IS bliss.
but you knew that about me already.
COMMENTS
I have been told by Spiritualist...mediums and many. To watch the news brings negativity to start out one's day.
No you are not ignorant...just trying to stay positive.
Tell me about it, when I watch the news I get angry and sad.
Yeah it is a bliss.
I watch the news about twice a week....moderation is the key lol
I agree - I don't watch the news on purpose. We are all subject to the ways of the world more than enough without further assistance
If you watch the news where are the suprises? (that was the most posative thing I could think of.) I can sort the weather looking out the window or better yet the door. Where I grew up the weather report was good for a few hours at best. I've lived in the same flat for just short of 5 years and I couldn't name the freeway(?) 3 blocks away. I'm "directionally challenged" for a girl. I see a lot of cool stuff and it is a happy ride till I realize I'm lost.
As far as sports... I'd watch that if it were about hockey.
i look for you, but i can't find you anywhere.
COMMENTS
are you still looking ?
to be honest... I cannot remember who I was looking for that night. Strange.
