... if you please. XD

I have a real problem with tenses - working on it - or trying but is "said" considered past tense?

Yes, this is might be a stupid question but I'd like to know.
Thanks.
The sadness drains through me rather than skating over my skin. It travels through every cell to reach the ground. I filter it yet strangely enough, I keep what was pure and it is the dirt that leaves.

Yes, it is. The present tense would be 'say'.

^_^ Don't feel bad! I get confused on these things sometimes, too. That's why I love verb charts, like the one I linked you to!

Yes, I would say that 'said' is past tense.

Hey, no problem... Tenses are nitpicky.
I am reminded of the babe by you.

Yes, it's past tense. We all have these problems every now and then. XD
[Griffinkeeper] 10:45 pm: The guard appears "We have weasels now!"
[Firearris] 10:45 pm: askes the guard for the weasel!
[Griffinkeeper] 10:45 pm: The guard gives Firearris the Weasel.
[Firearris] 10:46 pm: aquires the weasel and renames it "Cat"
Take that, Lumi.
