Tihmmnmmish's Cuddle-Friendly Fireside Threadcast

I put grown because I thought grow or growing where like an ongoing thing not the moment in time.
Glad you got your cigs Ron and I quibbled over the last one in the pack this morning but as it was my packet and he's a gent I got it lol
 
Skimmed a few. I will say that the forms that the survivor participants are doing seems to inspire some really beautiful use of language. It also seems to help define voices. If that makes sense? It all coincidentally happens to relate to recent ponderings. And I think if last time's themes fondled the informing/suggesting idea, this time might be Limitations. How Limitations themselves are neutral and it is all how one operates within limitations, or whether they are externally enforced or self-imposed.

Anyway, the sheer volume of poems will create a limitation on the usual rambly review. See? I will have to somehow find a way to work within a limitation of space and still deliver the goods.

Could go on about this and might do so later, but for now... later.
 
Didn't like my pantaloons then huh? ooops takes foot out of mouth another batch went up lol

Annie, getting to witness your pantaloons from such a POV makes it all the better.

and LS, I'd find it hard to believe that anyone could take my words so serious as to create a real problem for you, just like we both know you weren't serious about all that slapping and... other stuff. Can't even fathom what would've put those kind of thoughts into your head anyway.
 
Now that's nice! Ha! Double-goodie-cookie for Annie! That's great. Fucking wonderful. Thank you! There's a story in that...

oh, i know.. i was just joking.. just reaching for a good excuse to tie you to my bed. LOL

can't help it...
i'm working on a nonconsent story at the moment. good stuff.
 
oh that's right. You're doing the Other Survivor too. Again? That's a lotta writin'
 
Don't know what the story is, only that there must be, must be many. I'm a veteran. By golly. We didn't have real wars going on then, except grenada which doesn't really count. And I think we bombed libya a few times, but I was tucked away in Japan. Oh please no Memory Lane tonight. Fun ol' times though. Except for the actual being-in-the-military part. That part sucked. Sucked bad. Those assholes.:D

ok.. no forced marches down memory lane. but is it safe for me to ask--

Nihongo ga wakarimas ka.


(I can almost guarantee that I spelled that wrong.)
 
Not really. Not now. I wish. I could construct a few rough phrases, and I got to where I could read (and understand) some of the signs, or selections from a menu : ah! Chicken, something with chicken... or squid. But to understand real time speech? Coming fast? Not much. Brain's hurting already.
 
I don't know much Japanese. My daughter had been really annoyed with me at one time about that. She knows more Japanese. Reading, writing, speaking.. it's her thing.

Japanese is just one of the many languages I play with. Nothing serious like Legos. More like Barbies. I can make it look nice sometimes and then it's fun to play.
 
I think it helps to be there or be somehow amidst the culture/people. Missus hmmnmm is from Romania. I went there a couple times, learned a little. But now, here, she'll get on me that I don't seem to want to learn it anymore. But I'm not There, walking the streets or hanging out in the bars where the chatter is all around; and her english is practically flawless.

Don't know why it is like this.

The survivor/form/trigger poetry is very similar. Something that looks really interesting and would like to get into, but just can't. Unless there's an approachable World to get deep into without worrying about being pulled out. Otherwise, just... can't.

You seem to be able to just switch over at will: stories to poems to painting to ???

Is it as effortless as it appears?

sometimes...

There are plenty of days during which I could easily find myself doing any one of them...
then, there are days when I feel like I need to do one and just can feel any of them strongly enough to draw me in..

Just today, I was contacted by someone who I have talked to on and off for awhile who has read my Lit stories & saw my paintings and wanted to know if I would consider creating a graphic novel with potential for a series. Now, that's the kind of thing I could get into..

anything creative.

My dad bought me a screenwriting course.. a couple of them actually. You know, the audio sets of like 12 tapes. Well, I thought that would be cool, because its meshing the storytelling with the visual. And it is cool. It's a possibility that often has mirage qualities.

Then my client asks me to write articles on some medical condition and it brings me back down to earth.

ETA:
Oh, as far as being exposed to cultures... that's a passion of mine. Most of the words I know of African languages I learned from different African men I dated.

See I can't do that. Not without great difficulty. Like, say you and Annie prevailed and I gave my soul over to the poetry survivor and heck, on a whim did the other too. It would be a drop into a groove or a hallway where it's only Survivor poems (and maybe stories). Might put a few on the scorecard. But invariably, would come passage breaking off and leading to something else. Probably take it. And the Survivor would be over. At least for quite a while. And still very little would be finished. That might be the attraction to poetry. And even forms. Getting the sense of actually finishing something.

Oops, didn't mean for that to come out so low.

I think it was Katherine Hepburn on an old interview who said you can't do it all. You have to leave something behind. Those words always haunted me.

Okay. Happy stuff tomorrow! :)
 
Considering that I have 2 papers due on Monday, I might be scarce. Somewhere between my articles and the papers, I'll probably pop in.. not that it's a necessity, but it would be a nice, little break from the mundane.

Gotta paint this weekend too.. ripping apart a tv. scavenging for inspiration and parts for mixed media pieces. i'll try to avoid electricution.

btw, there was something in the review that I didn't understand... you said something about "bedtime"... must be slang or some new terminology.. bedtime? what the hell is that?
;)
 
Ah, ripping apart a tv: about the best thing you can do with a tv. Just my opinion.

And bedtime? It is a fascinating concept I am off to explore, now.

Sure dug up a lot of gems today... whew. Dog tired.

I can try if you haven't been able to do it yet.

Did you try submitting it on the submission form?
 
Well I'm hoping I've done it now may not be right but time will tell lol about how long to they take to be approved? If I've done this one right I've got the NASA one to send

Multimedia submissions can be tricky. You can do everything right, and it still not work. Multimedia submissions generally take a couple weeks to post. I think I waited over a month once.

I wrote the poem for the NASA photo I picked. I guess I'll just have to save the pic, resize it, then send it in with the poem.

The day your poem posts, you'll want to check it to make sure the pic is showing. If not, you can PM Laurel and she can fix it.

a little. It was there. And the Other. It isn't real hard to just click the buttons and sign up; not like you're signing away something important, like part of your soul. Right?
