two years later, still nothing.
LINDS? do you ever look in here?

Misho - sometimes, very rarely, I come back. Just about to graduate and not really in touch with the world, virtual or otherwise. Next month, maybe, I'll come back for more than a flying visit.
Are you well?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
YES
Can't complain... other than I've got NO time...
but it's nice - you know, having something to do all the time.
I hope you're all right!

So, I finally got a list up and running for the Link of the Night. If you're not on it (as in, don't get this message, and you want to), shoot me a note, or leave a message or just somehow let me know. Same goes for the instance that you want off the list - please let me know.
Happiness , by .
The Interview , by .
Rusting Bridges of Suburbia , by .
So, I did some peruzing, and earthed up these three pieces.
Happiness is beautiful in its own simplicity, and has a subtle kick to it that I find lacking in a lot of reading these days.
The Interview is an interesting little for-the-stage piece that I found myself cracking up over, all over the place. There's some great humor and dialogue going on here, as well as some great subtle toss-ins for the actors to experiment with. Something I would love to see performed.
While Rusting Bridges of Suburbia might be a little ho-hum subject-wise, the rhythm and control of meter that ~ honestbrutality has accomplished here is impeccable. It takes a lot of practice and a lot of control of vocabulary to get a good rhythm in a slam piece these days, and it's done beautifully here.
Get writing, fuckos. *jesusbite

Ooh, a fellow Albanian.
Yeah, I'm an Albany Parker, though this particular pseudonym is dead. fishwife is no more (and you're lucky I happened to glance here).
cudos on the finding me (few can)
and cudos on the Pratchett reference - truly my favourite comic writer (except douglas Adams but he doesn't really count)

i must admit, i cheated, I used the neighbours button, but 100m away is a bit closer than you expect.
if fishwife is no longer (living in the gatty, gd name) Who have you become?
And Douglas Adams does count, the man is funny. tho i'm yet to find the salmon of doubt

meh, I can occasionally be found at deviantnoise nights, sometimes Spunk nights. Mostly too busy and too broke to go though.

Where are you?
Hm, what are deviantnoise nights?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
that is very eep. Deviantnoise member and was at some of the Spunk nights but then this town is not exactly well populated, is it? I'm told by the secretary the name "Spunk" was entirely free of innuendo when he made it up. Aye right

hey misho,
I'm not really about these days. No reliable internet access y'see. And a busy life. Congrats on graduating! Hope you're enjoying a well deserved break.
Sorry I couldn't message you properly, but the stupid ultra-high security computers at this cafe won't let me do anything but reply.

Hi Linds
Long time no see!
I've returned to dA... I had pretty much taken a break from it. Still, I won't be here as much as I used to.

jazz plays continually in my mind, even when I don't want it to. Sometimes I can't even have a conversation with a friend because the sound of the trumpet is too invasive.
I wish I were being melodramatic.
Glad to know you like it, I rather thought you might.

I got your birthday card! Thank you SO much! But you were a week early. But that's good! And I got the pun. Very good.
On your way now. Thanks again.

Why, thank you.
Actually, that was an old poem deleted from the gallery of my main account. That's what this handle is for - to keep an archive of poems that were not worthy of staying in the gallery of my main account.
Yes, you know me. Or know of me. I'll let you figure out who I am though.
Cheers for the comment.

I'm not sure where you've been either. Welcome back though!

I'll certainly be doing my best. Not sure if I'll actually be int he country at the right time, but if I am, and if I can get away, then count me in.

Belated thanks for the critique on "The Paradox," your comments in the WS reminded me I needed to get back to you
Seems a little odd to me, to submit a poem, receive that veritable plethera of favs, and then workshop it. But then I'm a cynical Brit so I guess I'd best keep my mouth shut.
Heehee. Well, what I submitted I considered a rough draft. Too many people kissed my ass for that poem, and actually your and ~hojucult 's critiques were what made me want to workshop because I still saw some things wrong with it. Just trying to follow that whole "a poem is never finished" rule.
I've started a revision of the poem per your suggestions and they are helping quite a lot. Thank you

Welcome back and yeah I turned my hand to poetry 
Glad to have u back oh cool haired one

Well, I was going to comment on actual poems, but I'd want to write about them all and that would take me far too long, so I'll say that you write some of the most beautiful, clever words I've ever read.
I can't normally read a lot of poetry at once but I don't think I'd ever get tired of yours!
Sorry to sound like a stalker-type, but there's so much unoriginal (or just terrible) poetry here that it makes me happy to find something really good.

Lovely to hear from you again
About "1337 5k!112"
Just read it as "LEET SKILLZ" or "Elite Skills" in poetry.
Hope that helps and hope you're still doing OK for yourself.
