my sister the poet

[maderr]

I've gotten many a funny look from people when conversing on the phone or just with my sisters (and brother) in general. Usually it's because our conversations tend toward the bizarre, but it's also because our nicknames for each other make very little sense to the outside world.

Online I'm generally amaretto, which means everyone thinks I have a drinking problem XP Sammie goes by rykaine, which (I think) is the name of a planet in a story that could give lessons on angst (if she'd ever frickin write it). Brandie goes by Jolena on LJ, but generally we call her Miss Morbid. This is because I am considered the househould Queen of Fluff, Samantha is Angst Queen (believe it or not) and Brandie needs to stop channeling Stephen King.

I have a point, bear with me. You may have noticed (once or twice *rolls eyes*) that Sammie and I have a penchant for attempting fiction.

Miss Morbid tends toward poetry and sisterly bias aside, it's good stuff (I wish I had her talent; I was told more or less point blank in a college poetry class that I suck - Ang shares this pain with me). Here's the point of my post:

This is standing favorite of the various poems she's written.

And now I go to bed for real.

I'm such a goober. ^_^

But one with fangirls! XD

The problem with hounding people for fic is that I feel bad about it? :P I mean, pelting a writer (read: Meg or Skylark, usually) with random tantalising mental images is one thing, but requesting for fic and then pestering the writer for it just makes me a bit... uncomfortable? Dunno.

It's just I tend to do all the writing in my head. Forgetting that it needs typed in order for others to enjoy it.

Oh, yeah, I can understand that one. I tend to leave it in my head also because it looks so much more... colourful/nice/fun in there as compared to after I write it. :P

If you want to take a look at the most recent scenario/family of mental images (or mental images of family, both phrases work) that I'm bothering Meg and SkyLark with, tell me and I'll add you to the filter. ^_^; It's kind of... um, haphazard, really, and has m-preg in it, so... um. Yeah, you decide and tell me, I guess.

You shouldn't feel bad. It's likely the only way I'll ever get to it. Otherwise, I'll just keep making excusing and avoiding it. I'm bad like that. And I'msure people get sick of being led on. Pester away.

I've read some of those mental images you've sent their ways. They're quite intriguing, some of them. If ever you've mind for new ear...

*grin* I do believe that's like my real-life friends telling me I shouldn't have low self-esteem. I'll /try/, but will probably apologize as I do. :P I mean, you've SEEN the way I beta...

Heh. Sure, lemme add you to the most recent one... *rummage into LJ FAQs*

Okay, added! You might want to look at this before you drop into my LJ and look at the second-latest post though. (I think that's the right one.)

That one sounds fun. And disgustingly cute.

*grin* It /was/ meant to cheer Skylark up. The angsty stuff I usually leave in my head, because writing it or scrolling through it so that I can type it out usually stretches the ow-ow-ow period for too long. I usually snap and either cut it off, or break off that train of thought and switch to a new storyline/scene/character-profile etc. ^^;;;;;;;

And my brain is WEIRD, the way it keeps building family trees. =_=; Seriously.
