    90s, Pearl Jam / all the Seattle bands, Wu-Tang Clan and all their associated acts.

    You?

    Actually, I'm torn between the 60's with The Doors, The Stones, Jimi Hendrix, etc. and the 90's Pearl Jam, Nirvana, R.E.M.

    Is there one PJ song that you feel describes you best?

    Wish you were here...

    (Have to agree on the 60s too, some great acts were out then.)

    So many I relate to in some way, Light Years and Nothing As It Seems are the two main ones.

    NAIS- I'm a writer, I wrote a 3 and a half book poem, I have a baritone voice.
    Light Years- play chess (games with pieces and rules)
    (Your light made us stars) - kind of an angelic reference.
    (No time to be void) - a pseudonym of mine.

    Same question. (wow I'm being lazy but I find it's common courtesy)

    Black ~ I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
    I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky, but why
    Why, why can't it be, can't it be mine

    Nothingman ~ once divided...nothing left to subtract...
    some words when spoken...can't be taken back...
    and he who forgets...will be destined to remember...

    Release ~ I'll wait up in the dark
    For you to speak to me


    Who is the one person that inspires you?

    Would have to be my wife, I've written a lot of poetry for / about her as well as a story or two. Attempting to write some songs for her but the way I write is very abstract and unstructured.

    Do you write?
  • PearlOfAGirl
    PearlOfAGirl Posts: 15,993
    no, but I've got plenty to write about :roll:

    Have you ever written any of your poems on this site?

    Wish you were here...

    Not as yet, not sure it would be relative, maybe a few things I've wrote.

    Why don't you start writing?

    I've thought about writing a novel about my life...

    Do you find writing is good therapy?

    It can be at times but when I write about problems it just brings me back to them and I get caught in the same cycle. Whereas, I write about something outside of me but still related, worldly, universally, that is more therapeutic because I look back on it with a smile.

    When are you starting the novel? :mrgreen:
  • PearlOfAGirl
    PearlOfAGirl Posts: 15,993
    that's the problem, I don't know how to start writing it :think:

    Just curious, what does your name stand for?

    Wish you were here...

    Not sure this is all entirely true but my dad said that our last name is the one used in an archipelago in Japan. Which was a misprint of the first letter on someone's part, Nonin, the real name supposedly means Void Of Man, because nobody lives on those islands. Our last name is French. :lol:

    Start out simple when you write, that's what I did, a few words on what I was thinking and it turned into longer sentences / questions, etc. Why not try it later?

    I'd be going back to the age of 3, so this would be mind after a few minutes :crazy: :lol:

    Don't you find that sometimes when you write, your thoughts start racing?

    Most of the time I try to search for what would work, my thoughts wonder way too much and I change subjects easily.

    Have to start somewhere. :lol:

    What's your favorite book?

    This one goes back a bit, but I still love it: Shell Seekers by Rosamunde Pincher :D

    What's your favorite book?

    The Bhagavad Gita.

    What is your book about?
  • PearlOfAGirl
    PearlOfAGirl Posts: 15,993
    It's a beautiful love story, and I still sometimes find myself thinking about the characters in the book. It leaves you feeling like you know them personally...

    What is yours about?

    Wish you were here...

    A long poem that is part of a longer story, The Mahabarata, about a war between two East Indian families. Gita is about Arjuna not wanting to fight and Krishna explaining how he has to fight then goes into a long story about how he is an incarnation of God and explains his nature, even describing his universal form.

    I found a copy of the book you mentioned on google books, I'll give it a read sometime. (Edit, just noticed it only has the first 211 of 500+ pages, library trip me thinks)

    Why aren't you in bed yet?! :lol:
