Or miscommunicated.<br /><br />Charlotta - Good to know :) You have no idea how stoked I was to see a new post from Charlotta-love! Even if that was a couple months ago now.<br /><br />Jocelyn - I hold no delusions of being a decent poet. Actually, I feel a little guilty every time I post a poem, like I'm offending all actual poets who have ever lived. So critique away! Though I can't promise I won't weep.<br /><br />"Interesting" and "unique" will work. I always liked "Well, those are definitely some words." It's kind of a catch-all.<br /><br />Yes, you can be Rue, the young one. I don't care what you do on your own time, but if I throw a party, the biggest gift better be from you. Otherwise, this whole theme song's been a sham.Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096591352278195759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-59215845249253102222012-05-09T13:10:55.699-05:002012-05-09T13:10:55.699-05:00I'mma need to clarify our boundaries in advanc...I'mma need to clarify our boundaries in advance for the poetry blog: do I get to tell you if I don't like something? Will you huddle in the corner and weep or, more likely, turn the resulting defensiveness into anger at what a beeeyotch I am? Perhaps a code phrase can be worked out here, something I use in my comments when I'm not feeling your lyricalishness. Should this code phrase include the words "interesting" and "unique"?<br /><br />Anyhow, I'm ready to be your Rue any time, seeing as I'm at about the six year mark with my blog. Does this mean I have to be the one who goes out and whores around?<br /><br />See how I always like to know, ahead of time, the terms and conditions?Jocelynhttp://omightycrisis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-75278718767592015322012-05-09T12:37:32.577-05:002012-05-09T12:37:32.577-05:00Bone,

You are still on my reader, obviously, and I'll continue to read any new posts. I'm glad I somehow stumbled upon this blog. You are a fantastic writer. Keep writing - even if it is private; you have a tremendous talent!Charlotta-lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17694362692847403727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-9330020911256407582012-05-09T07:36:09.802-05:002012-05-09T07:36:09.802-05:00Blimey, and I thought I was an old timer, having s...Blimey, and I thought I was an old timer, having started out in here in 2006. So, like Madonna, the trick is to reinvent yourself, and rise from the ashes like a phoenix, eh? Aw, farewell and adieu IYOOBTY, guess I could have known you better, but what little I did always managed to make me smile. You'll be remembered with fondness - rest in peace!Shrinkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18401403773851253351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-56163371110819405742012-05-08T14:53:19.547-05:002012-05-08T14:53:19.547-05:00Pia - Thanks anti-Kathy!

Did you notice how I conveniently left the ALL CAPS days out of my eulo-bituary?<br /><br />Sherri B - Yes, your powers of persuasion did work! I have intentions to blog more often, but then I've had those before, so we'll see. Thanks for checking in with my poetry blog. Hopefully, the name won't end up being the best part :)<br /><br />Ed - Very thoughtful comment, Ed. I've never really thought about it, but I've seen seemingly countless blogs end that way. Just with no word at all. <br /><br />And Facebook years, I like that term!<br /><br />Sage - Thanks, Sage. I'll do my best. I want people to laugh at my blog funeral. Now my real funeral, I expect tears, and lots of 'em.Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096591352278195759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-3233062302214959772012-05-08T09:05:11.079-05:002012-05-08T09:05:11.079-05:00at least on here, your older than me by a year, bu...at least on here, your older than me by a year, but that's like seven years in blog or dog years...

That...I had no idea that your blog was that old. That's like 90 in Facebook years! Coincidentally, my blog was born the same month that you moved over from Angelfire. Like you, I've seen more blogs disappear than I care to remember.<br /><br />Lately as I feel my time in the blogiverse coming ever nearer, I've been toying with the idea of a 'dead mans switch' of an obituary for my blog. I could write it, set it to be published at a future date and just keep kicking that date out front every so often. Then when it happens, it just publishes. Nothing gets me more than when a blog I read just stops and never starts up again. I don't know if the blogger just up and died or took their readers for granted so much that they felt it acceptable to just disappear without a word.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-51764728502753295452012-05-07T17:23:05.015-05:002012-05-07T17:23:05.015-05:00Bone, I'm glad my powers of persuasion worked!...Bone, I'm glad my powers of persuasion worked! And what are you talking about? You have LOTS of fans...the thought of your blog going away makes me sad. But the thought of your poetry blog sounds amazing! I will look forward to your posts and will be a happy follower. And your choice of poetry blog name is so fitting to your wonderful sense of humor...and your modesty when it comes to your writing talents. Cheers! :)<br /><br />P.S. I'm glad you liked my latest photo...all I had to do was point and shoot with my camera. The beauty of that tree took care of the rest!Sherri B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00834386300886224116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-62336714125589026202012-05-07T16:38:55.866-05:002012-05-07T16:38:55.866-05:00Happy bloggiversary.
