it's great to get drawn in to your poems again, some of them have such an intuitive rhythm and soul, which combines so powerfully with the 'personality' of your writing - poingancy tinged with wit (or vice versa)!

quite a large watchlist backlog, but I'm
looking forward to reading some new work
from you.

well, funny you should say that, as I mostly came back to remove my poems! but also to catch up on some reading - I don't plan to stop following my dA writers any time soon... I'll be around, just not always vocal

not once have I received that impression. (though the problem with poets is that an insult can be intended as a compliment, and the other way around!)

the soundtrack is essential
i'll just sit around
in my orange sunglasses and
listen to you orchestrate it

plus deriving deleted scenes

i had to reconsider my answer. i don't know if i'm any more intuitive than anyone else, but i often feel things that are later revealed to be true, and i guess a big part of my creative expression is based on creating feelings rather than narratives, so in that sense definitely...

yes. i was just asking because i think you are. from your writing and such. it's interesting hearing people describe themselves. yeah. so, yes, that was a question i suddenly felt like asking. not sure how to explain myself here. lol

r-mitchell In reply to ottersandsky [2009-09-09 08:45:31 +0000 UTC]

i have a tendency to drastically overthink when i'm asked questions like that!

so would you say you're also intuitive for knowing that i'm somewhat intuitive?

ottersandsky In reply to r-mitchell [2009-09-09 08:49:56 +0000 UTC]

I think that'd be cheating a little, because you don't necessarily need to be intuitive to notice that someone else is. but I think I am anyway, so it's okay.

yes, i know what you mean. their latest two albums (especially the most recent) have something of a crazy, energy-infused folkiness - definitely a similar vibe.
their earlier stuff is heavier, more guitar + drums driven, but no less wonderful. what stands out above everything are the lyrics (and the delivery). it gets me so excited you wouldn't believe!

We definitely should.

I'm sure now that you think about it they'll just float through your head, and you'll go wait a minute! And write them down, or save them in a "note" on your phone, or leap out of bed and pour torrents into a typewriter.

It's all quite romantic, this writing lark.
