That motherfucking car alarm has been going off for almost an hour now. How can you NOT hear if your car alarm is going off when the rest of the fucking world can?

[grumbles]

0 to bitch in 12 seconds.

Okay. It's exceptionally bright out. I have coffee that I cannot taste because I seem to be stuffed up beyond belief which will lead to a sore throat since I'm breathing out of my mouth so I can breath. Um. Yay!

Hee! They just mentioned Smyrna on the news and that always makes me think of neonplatypus and waryne.

I also have stuff to do. Stuff and stuff and stuff!

To Do (not just today):
1: SS story. Done in the sense I've done all I can do today.
2: Portfolio for poetry. - currently working on it.
3: crazy!daniel story.
4: final lit paper.
5: essays/ids for civ.
6: stevie wonder story. - currently working on it.
7: play in the snow.

My throat is dry. And I want to taste my coffee. :(

Daniel in The Serpent's Lair always makes me sniffle. So brave. So devoted to his cause. So in love with Jack.

Edit: And the hug at the end! The hug! [squees]

wherein i muse about revising poetry and sound somewhat arrogant. i'm not. honest.

So I'm having an exceptionally hard time editing and revising my poetry. I'm not saying that everything I spout out is perfect the way it is, far from it actually. I just have a very hard time trying to change things. I wrote one long, in-depth poem/assignment for a class two years ago and handed it over to scottyt2 and let him rip it apart for me. It's only decent because he's the one that did the majority of the revising/editing for me. This is why I use beta readers, folks. They make stuff decent.

I've done three of the poems so far and I'm only pleased with one of the revisions. And of course that's not the one that my teacher likes. She thinks one of the others needs to be submitted but I think that one is so painfully cliched that it hurts. I like it on one level, but not a level that would even bring me close to submitting it anywhere. Poetry is by far not my forte, but I'm decent. I have some really good pieces and others that just make me wince with their badness. I don't think the one Nina likes is right for submission, but at least one of the others I've written this semester would definitely be good for submission, so I might. Eh. Who knows. I'd also like to look at 'One Week' (the one Scotty ripped apart for me) and maybe play around with it more and submit that. I might just see what Nina thinks of it not for a class thing, but as an outside thing. I really, really trust her opinion.

I'm also short on one poem because I am having a bitch of a time picking out a form that I'm actually happy with. I'm thinking pantoum, but damn those are hard. I would also like to re-write the first couplet poem, and the sonnet. I think I have a fairly interesting couplet poem that could replace the first since that is my ultimate goal. I hate it. Hate, hate, hate.

But on the plus side, there's a Trading Spaces on that I've never seen. Good times! And it's in Center City. Plus, Chris is trying to convince Justin that he is really just trying to keep Justin from falling again and not because he enjoys being up Justin's ass all the time. Or. Maybe he does. But not yet. That's for later on. [grins]
