    I also enjoy challenging someone to accept me for who I am.

    I'm flawed in that I get really pissed off when someone won't even make the attempt to do so. I take it a tad too personally.

    I think it's because I really try hard to treat everyone equally (inasmuch as it is possible to do so), that is with respect and honor and with understanding of the other individual AS an individual and a being of singular persona and humana.

    and when someone else decides to be ingorant, as in they make a WILLFUL and PURPOSEFUL choice to be an asshole, it just rubs me the wrong way like 9volt batteries, steel wool, and my tongue.

    I just wanna key their car. LOL but I don't because I am a human being with an honor code.

    but I, too, am proud to be a freak in many ways. I love my poetry a great deal, regardless of whether or not I am good at it. I love the challenge of making people love my words and, in retrospect, love me, to be painfully honest. I post here as much from wanting everyone to read my stuff and think about it and react to it, as I do from wanting to find out what people think of me.

    For instance, and not to pick on anyone, I keep thinking people have stopped reading my stuff because they tire of it or secretly think it's shit. LOL. Honesty hurts. YEAH I have insecurity issues. I've never met a poet who doesn't. I'm serious. They may be for differing things in life or for differing reasons, but it's a big part of why we write. Understanding.

    I want people to understand the way I see the world. the WAYS I see the world, for they are many and sundry. I have the dreaming, the alternate, the b-wave, the alphawave, the real, the reel, the ocean and the sea...

    all these things that make up my mind and sight and the dreaming that I unique...

    and now I have this thread with which to spread the concrete paste that is my grey matter around like a failed suicide attempt.

    and bore the living shit out of all of you, with love.

    I'll be back to finish this thought. maybe.

    I read your entire thread Sunday night. You exist in a world of words and colors and atomospheres that I can never create, but I love to visit.

    Maybe you should post some of your poems on individual threads so people may access them easier.

    The only thing that's shit around here is my mouth. Then again, I've been spending a lot of time around B.E.'s bum, so it's not surprising.

    I love your words, so, in turn I guess I love you too, my friend! :)

    Hey! You're back to talking about boring the shit out of people again? Do you have an affection for this sort of thing? :D

    Keep on spreading that grey matter around, okay!

    Love, your freaky, deaky, pal, B.E. :D

    ahhh seta
    rest assured this, this crap you dish yourself will become so foul you'll decide to stop feeding it to yourself

    i used to be like this and by some process it came to me

    and it all comes off like some cliche'ish bullshit, but

    fuck 'em if they can't take a joke
    or take a little honesty
    or a LOT of honesty
    fuck 'em

    you know...

    I've spent too much time already trying to get people to like me, and lost myself in the process...

    but

    i found this somewhat anonymous forum
    yelled at ppl dying (i didn't know they were dying)
    offended vietnam vets
    offended christians
    GOT offended many many times
    got tangled up with a boy or two
    and with the other girls they were tangling with
    and miraculously, found a couple of people who seemed to understand me
    and hence I came to the understanding that I am understandable by upstanding understandable understanding human beings

    understood to my core

    and loved regardless

    and in your writing, it's not clear that you want this... it seems to me that you rather enjoy sending folks running for thier dictionary and thesaurus, and there's a lot of people out there who are frightened by these instruments of language, or just too damned lazy...

    and thus... your writing in some way might be your litmus test, your application for employment, for the people you allow "in"

    and goddang if that's not something to be proud of...

    having standards

    it's good seta

    bask in it


    i was whining to my paid professional friend about ppl not liking me because i scare them

    he said, "you do scare people."

    you look at people when you talk to them (ha ha... can't actually look at you when i'm writing this and that's one of the failings of internet communication, yes, it allows me to speak my ignorant mind more singularly, but....)


    oh...

    and it ain't just poets thats insecure
    look around

    everybody's got some degree of it
    and nice ppl more than those arrogant a-holes you talk about...

    those ppl don't even DESERVE to understand me, or you



    triptophaned ramblings of a turkey eater...

    beer... i need more beer :)

    Ramble on you beer swilling triptophaned (look who's talking about needing a dictionary! :D) turkey eater!

    It does scare people when you look them in the eye, doesn't it? It makes me wonder why they can't meet your gaze, what are they hiding or hiding from?

    Nice to see you around tA (t & A!) :D

    A new month, a new morning, a new hello to all.

    Thought I'd say hi to everyone. Been sick- STILL AM sick- as all frocking hell and now I can hardly stand or hear or even watch bad television. I could never be that sick outside of a coma. TV is bad mmm'kay.

    hope you all are well, perhaps I'll be back around sometime soon.

    setaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    riders of rohan! what news from the MARC?

    and P.S. I am beginning to believe this sickness has killed my muse, or beaten her into submission because I have had no thoughts of anything more than gray these past weeks... it is most disheartening.

    Aw! My poor little sicky seta! I hope that sickness releases you from her unhealthy embrace soon! To live in the gray IS most disheartening! May a rainbow of health and happiness wash you clean of all that ails ya!

    Get Better Mister!

    Love,

    the news 'tis grave, sire, most grave...

    the uruk-hai hath transformed themselves into mystic creatures that threaten the MARC's very existence... the MARC's muse is in grave danger...

    we must summon warriors from every race in Synegraith...

    even the troll of Gearandor must come and assist or Middlehut will fall like the very words from the poet's mouths

































    ;) i watched two towers three times this weekend :)

    Which is funny as hell because I watched it twice.

    However, I must be one of the, say, 7 guys left on this planet who hasn't exactly keeled over with testosterone driven lust whenever Liv Tyler hits the screen. I think she does a fabulous job as Arwyn, she's just not my type.

    I have found that I am apparently in the distinct minority.

    ON THE OTHER HAND, you may give me Scarlett Johannsonn and I will most certainly drop from hormonal overload. Yeow.

    Lost in Translation is a killer movie, by the way, you all must see it. the seta demands it.

    Same for Ghost World.

    Sigh. off to work.

    And Radar, I told you I'd bring my own condom but nooooooo you insisted you had two. Thanks for putting me in this mess.

    also feeling under the weather today, i search for the healing of laughter.

    i know at least one other person here knows this website, but it is a must see for LoTR fans.

    home.nyu.edu/~amw243/diaries/

    i just rubbed my buddha's belly three times, he still just sits serenely and smiles, taunting me, daring me to laugh at the absurdity of life and love. he's right! there is no need to fret about anything, it all works out in the end as the universe has planned.

    all is love, love is all.

    peace.

    Miss AmaT

    it stands for laugh out loud (which I'm doing at you right now, but only a little, I promise).

    I use it far too often and intend to slow it up. However, I've always liked being able to tell someone in three letters that I think something is funny, instead of having to type it all out.

    Which is ironic, for me.

    Ah well. I have just found out that I do not have a day off until 12/25. Retail. Man it blows. BUT I suppose that the MONEY is all WORTH IT. right? RIGHT?

    Wrong.

    Money blows.

    I am beginning to believe that I may have to turn gigolo to make a decent buck.
