my birthday was pretty sweet! i got a teapot, a cake, a balloon, an amazing card and wand from my second cousin, AND we rescued and gave a new life to beaver jones!

also, this was the sunrise the morning of my birthday.

awesome.

also, and honestly? more importantly, this.

but don't skip out on the first one.

i am going to marry leonard cohen and scroobius pip, and they are going to sing and rap for me, and it will be a beautiful, beautiful life.

also, i will combine their dna in an underground lab, extract the poetry gene, inject it into myself, and take over the world with my words. seriously... just trust me, i know science, and this scenario is completely possible.

(as seen on twitter with the hashtags #meataphors and #simeatlies)



her hair was bacon, wavy and brown, intoxicating me with its scent.

his eyes were cooked well-done, charred black and unforgiving.

their friendship was a hotdog: possibly toxic, and of indeterminate origin, but everyone liked it.

i was so angry that his face became a rack of ribs: better if pulled apart.

her speech was like a hamburger: simply many separate strings of thoughts patted together to form a seemingly coherent object.

five am, sitting on the steps. my body starts to angrily ask me what the FUCK i have been doing to it. i silently outline the situation to it: cast party. due to an evil mishap, i came boozeless. someone asks if i'm a germaphobe and i am not so they handed me a half-empty bottle of vex. chug it because... pfft. child's play. the only shot glass in the house and a rapidly emptying bottle of captain morgan get pushed toward me. one, two, i hate even numbers, three. smoke on the back porch, stumble slightly as the rum hits me. carefully work my way back inside. dance. dance dance dance. kiss on the cheek number one. dance. shots four and five. d


05/26/10--00:04: let's get hit over the head (chan 2629201)




"There's no such thing as a misconception of my music. Someone might read into a song as being aggressive, or really mean, or homoerotic, or sacred, and that reading can be completely different to my intentions. But I don’t think intention has much clout in the creative world. Intention finishes its work once a piece is created. I believe in a very democratic reader-response to art, that everyone has a unique experience and, though they may not always be valuable, or believable, or accurate, they’re all viable."

deleted the 200ish deviations piled up from clubs (except from :devdailypoetics:, because... i play favourites). it wasn't a happy thing for me to do, but even after doing that and going through the leftovers for fortyish minutes, i still have 330 deviations. i feel it was justified.:thumb165429288: :thumb166939242: :thumb166976793: :thumb165376346: :thumb165569463:featured artists

just a few more g20-related things, loves, because i think this shit's important.

this one is super important. it details the conditions of the detention centres and really needs to be spread around.

this is twenty accounts from people who were treated inhumanely by police.

this and this provide awesome sum-ups of how full of bullshit the past few days have been.

07/03/10--03:09: a sign recovery comes to the broken ones (chan 2629201)




it saddens me that only people who do found poetry will ever know the joy of scanning a document and finding the word they were looking for. oh, lord, it is unparalleled. it feels like all of the cosmos have suddenly aligned.

however, they will also never alienate people on the bus by suddenly letting out a sigh that is closer to a growl and hissing "THERE ISN'T A W ANYWHERE ON THIS FUCKING PAGE!!"

so i guess it's a toss-up. but seriously, there is nothing quite like finding the word or letter you've been hunting for. of course, it's totally possible that i'm just a bit crazy and am the only one who find themself elated for long periods

makin' this journal so i can collect links, etc.

the 3:15 experiment is simple enough: for the month of august, you set an alarm to go off at 3:15 am. every day at that time, you wake up and scribble a sleepy poem, and go to bed. don't edit it. as the site says, "if you can help it, don't even get out of bed! the point is to ride that dream state, that precarious point between sleeping and waking and sleeping."

i'm doing it a bit differently... my sleep schedule is super erratic and impossibly to predict, so i just set an alarm for four/five hours after whenever i finally manage to get to sleep.

dA has really not been high on my priority list lately, i guess. i think this is because dA is immediately associated with poetry in my mind, and lately, i only really want to write when i'm intoxicated. which, er, is often enough, but you know, normally i just shove the urge down and dance.

uhm... i'll probably look at some of that stuff today, so there might be some comments from me? which i'm sure y'all have missed TERRIBLY.

two things:

one: i wrote a new song today. you can hear it here. the lyrics are pretty much give me back my senses.

two: i'm sending my portfolio to universities in the next couple weeks. it'd be like RIDICULOUSLY helpful if you could tell me your favourite pieces of my writing (preferably from the last uhmm couple years haha). i'm definitely not saying like, comb through my gallery, but if you remember anything really sticking out to you, please leave its name or link in a comment :heart::thumb188678811: :thumb195035937: :thumb195258689:

my premium membership runs out in a couple of months. i'm going to miss it a lot, because i love doing features and stuff, but there's just so much other shit on which i have to spend the money i don't have. i mean, never mind university in september; my ukulele got snapped kinda in half, my guitar strings are bordering on four years old, i need a keyboard... ffffff. anyway.

i turned twenty almost a week ago, as some of you know. my feelings on this are pretty much summed up in this post, made a few days later: "am i always going to be this short? am i always going to be this weird? growing up is annoying.":thumb199570463: :thumb199516566:

leaving comments has really gone out of vogue, hasn't it? i guess i can't talk; i've always been a chronic fave&runner. maybe everyone's just sort of migrated away from dA. i feel that. i miss talking to people, though.:thumb201461172: :thumb202995849: :thumb203171765:

well, i guess i should just sort of say it, though some of you have picked up on this on your own (and some of you know for sure 'cause you know me and stuff)

i am non-binary! i am genderqueer! i am trans! hey hi hello! i am not a girl. i am neither male or female. i'm somewhere in between or outside. my preferred pronouns, at the moment, are spivak, which means instead of he/his/him, you'd use ey/eir/em. basically, whatever form of "they" you'd use, but with "th" lopped off.

04/21/11--02:24: ok so. (chan 2629201)




well, that pretty much covers it. everything's all packed up for now. 891 items in storage, ohboy.

i'll be around and reading and looking and watching, just without my work. you can find regularly-updated contact info at the link at the bottom of this journal. if i start posting stuff elsewhere, i'll let you know.

most of my good friends seem to have drifted away from here, but for those who are still around: love you, see you sometime.

small bird in a big cage is where i am posting my poetry now

there are four new ones posted (like, written within the past week (I KNOW, I'VE WRITTEN FOUR POEMS IN THE PAST WEEK (REMEMBER WHEN I USED TO WRITE LIKE THREE POEMS A DAY???))), and i'm slowly going through my archives and editing and posting some of the good stuff

so yeah, if you want my work, feel free to check it out.:thumb200033045:

if i recall correctly, it's been about a year since the urge to write was scared out of me. i miss it, and i miss all of you. my life is all weird and i don't know why.

miraculously, i've been keeping up on my video project. it is somewhat sad that a month and a half is an impressive run of commitment for me, but there you have it.:thumb212594980: :thumb214046521:

gentle reminder: my pronouns are spivak, or, if you can't grasp that, singular "they". misgendering hurts, y'all. thanks in advance for being respectful.

i've posted a couple more songs that i wrote over at my youtube: the scientist and pronoun trilogy/ampersand. pretty sure i posted the lyrics to those way back when.:thumb216457178:

i was mona lisa
and you made me abstract art
i was juggling with my twenty arms
and some say those are my eyes
and some say they are my tears
and i say nothing at all
you'll always hold a place in my heart
but loving you
it hurts so much

out of our minds - katie costello feat. greg laswell

wow, this place really is a graveyard, huh

i mean i decided to join dA again because i'd come to terms with the fact that there wasn't really a community aspect to it for me anymore and it's just a place to have my stuff and look at art

it's just sort of weird comparing interactions from now to interactions a few years ago

but i guess that's partially just me

i'm not really as good at people as i used to be, and i basically forgot how to write:thumb263096144: :thumb253694760: :thumb257557336:

you people are just fucking with me now, right? right? hot damn!:thumb266095416:evidently, swimming, not drowning got featured as a daily deviation, which is absolutely absurd but very much appreciated. to celebrate, i've taken my other daily deviations out of storage!

i started some shitty blog a month or so ago, because i felt tumblr was sort of draining me intellectually. still love it and am actually posting there more than ever, but... it's been nice having somewhere to put somewhat more fully-formed thoughts, on the rare occasions that i have them.

i wrote some shitty song this morning.

i'm behind on some shitty weekly video project, but i'm catching up. life is just being, uh, you know. january-ish, i guess. i'm not writing. i've never written.:thumb259703783: :thumb270918151:
