SuperTwat Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Dare you! Then I shall write in trochaic pentameter. Watch me try to outdo you No I can't, that's very true:mf_rosetinted: Oh, damn, this will be harder than I thought. I haven't done this in a while, Blue Sky. I will give it a go though, so behold I have written in the chosen meter. I am so silly to make such a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I love how you just speak your mind and I along with many many others know that you're probably the last person to intentionally hurt anyone's feelings just for the f*ck of it. I'm very happy I had the chance to meet you. Don't let anyone make you feel uncomfortable for being honest. Couldn't have said it better myself! I second everything that Violet says.

chickadee Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 At the risk of appearing uneducated, you guys have lost me already. I have heard of the things you are referring to of course, and it's possible I may even have known something about them in the dim, distant past of my teenagerhood. But although I enjoy reading, I wasn't actually particularly good at English as a subject (which came as a blow to my pride) and so I shall just sit on the sidelines and cheer. Go "Battle of the meter and poetic form!" Pretty pathetic battle cry actually:naughty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even rented a TV mini-series of War and Peace because I wanted to know what it's about without bothering to read it. That's why last night I decided that from now on I'm going to extricate myself more from the interweb and read a book per fortnight. In unrelated news I also decided to become vegetarian which I've been meaning to do for years but never completely followed-through (it might help with the weight loss goal too).

In unrelated news I also decided to become vegetarian (with the goal of eventually becoming vegan when I manage to wean myself off chocolate and cheese ). Yes, but high school was a lot less time ago for you. The most writing I've been doing lately is emails and crappy songs. And of course posting on here. And I haven't read "literature" for ages. I just read books. Children's books a lot of the time, to stay abreast of what's going on with my kids (just finished reading Lady Friday and Superior Saturday in the Keys to the Kingdom series). Actually, does Lord of the Rings count as literature? (been reading that to the 11yr old at night time. We've been reading it to him since he was about 6 and we never manage to get beyond the second book. So now that he's a little older, he requested we start again.) Oh and on the note of extricating yourself from the interweb.... What are you doing here then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kavi Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 May I add something? Firstly, Kata, I don't want to see you leave either. I love the fact that you are frank and sometimes blunt. This place can be very sugary at times, and even I can overdose on sugar. You're like a lemon juice astringent that cleanses the palate. Refreshing! The thing i want to say though is that the whole argument about who can say what becomes circular after a while. If person A says something and person B gets upset and starts an "anti-bullying thread" and tells person A not to say those things, and person B then gets upset and tells person A that they shouldn't say those things, then don't you really end up basically having everybody being told that they can't express an opinion? Person A can't express an opinion that person B finds offensive. Person B is not allowed to say that they find it offensive. That becomes no-win for everybody. "Hey, that offended me!" "Hey, you telling me that I offended you, offended me!" Everyone is upset then. My feeling is, just take your chances. Sometimes people will get upset. I get upset on a regular basis. I know that I'm too emotional. I usually get over it fairly quickly. I've tried to toughen up over the years and I'm actually a lot tougher than I used to be. That may make you laugh, cos I know I come across like a marshmallow. But I know also that my soft core makes me just the right person for the job in certain situations. Just as you are the exact right person for certain other situations. I celebrate the fact that you are different from me. Feeling like staying yet?

soangel Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I read war and peace.... it took me a month, where other books don't take nearly as long. Some parts of it I liked, some parts I found slightly boring (hence why it took so long) I keep meaning to read the Lord of the Rings, since their the pinacle of modern fantasy and all that, but I can never get past the start of the second book. It takes me half a book to gain interest, and then I pick up the next book and lose interest again. Though at the moment I'm working my way through an interesting series called the Troy Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a bloody good yarn that would improve immensely (and be a whole lot shorter) if Tolkien didn't write so many descriptive passages of the scenery!

soangel Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Yeah.. the descriptive passages of the scenery got to be a bit. And thats what I always hear them referred to as.

I had had nearly a bottle of wine when I opened the thread. I am not good at poems. They weren't supposed to be intellectual even if I could do intellectual.

SuperTwat Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I hired out War & Peace tonight thanks to you. The book or the film? I keep meaning to read the Lord of the Rings, since their the pinacle of modern fantasy and all that, but I can never get past the start of the second book. It takes me half a book to gain interest, and then I pick up the next book and lose interest again. To be honest I found the first book really boring and the second book only mildly interesting but the third book was so good it made reading the other two worth it. The Return of the King is a fantastic film but as a book it's even better IMO.
