Poems

emskoneko @emskoneko (805) • United States 15 Jan 07

I can't write happy poems. I write poems when I'm sad. It's usually because of my crush (i'm not sure if it's love). My pain for him inspires me to write. But I'll never show him. But I wish I could. It would be like confessing to...

Desertbird Okay. I write pretty much whatever. I hate doing hikues (sp?) but apparently I'm pretty decent at it. It's easy to write depressing poems, but it is nice to come out with a nice uplifting poem. The poems I usually write are more mindchallenging than...

Writing Advise: Throwing Stones

Desertbird @Desertbird (323) • United States 4 Jan 07

When I was younger and first starting out with writing, I often had trouble figuring out how to keep the story interesting. When I was so frustrated that I was about to give up, a friend of the family who had made it her career...

Desertbird Yes, knowing the basic foundations of your characters helps in building conflict and developing their personalities.

Love....

Desertbird @Desertbird (323) • United States 5 Jan 07

So you found your soul mate? A lot of people fool themselves by saying that they are. Here's a way to tell if you are really in love.... Do you think about them all the time? Do you go ridiculously far out of your way just...

Desertbird I'm not trying to discriminate against kids, heck I sort of am one, but like you said, there's no denying that most adolescents are infatuated despite their term being "love". Yes, adults do it too, this wasn't to just be for the kids, and I'm sorry I made it...

Desertbird Having your palm read is no big deal, my aunt is a psychic and knows all about it. Your hands change constantly depending on things going on in your life (stress, etc...) and that is shown on your hands. A palm reader can look at it and be able to determine...

Desertbird I prefer traditional methods. In all honesty, I'd rather not use a distance weapon, but one that challenges you to your full ability by making you get up close, like a simple knife. The first deer I took down was a full grown, young male with a gimpy leg...

Has anyone here gotten pregnant after having your tubes tied?

vicki2876 @vicki2876 (5636) • Canada 16 Sep 07

I have heard of this happening but was wondering if it is true and was it safe for the baby and mom. I was tied over 6 years ago. Though mentally I know I did the right thing, emotionally I would love to have another child.

Desertbird If you are talking about sign language, I volunteer at a deaf center. I also am applied by the state as an official translator in the court system, so there is rarely a huge amount of time inbetween the times I need to speak in SL.

How are there only 2 people on here that admit to smoking marijuana as a hobby?

homealotmom @homealotmom (235) • United States 4 Dec 06

You should be proud and list it as an interest. I am proud to say it is not bad. The only reason it is not legal is beacuse they can't tax it, and then cops would have to go after the real criminals. So, it remains illegal.

Desertbird You're wrong, pot has no addictive qualities to it. You might be addicted in a "I like it, so I want more" but you're not addicted in a "I have to have it...I have to have it...I have to have it..." The only addiction it causes is psychological, the body...
