an introduction

Meep · 2006-10-25T20:56:48Z

(Narcissist? Moi? Never .) I'll try to keep this short, because I can be frightfully long-winded, for which I am browbeaten* by my English teacher every-other-day. (I have algebra 2 on the other day, you see.) The college applications people said not to try and be funny if you aren't, and I'm not, so let's get to the point before I talk your ears off (type your eyes out?)! Call me Meep, because my real name is boring. I'm seventeen (and a half, and then some), which means I won't be able to vote in the upcoming elections, as much as I'd like to. As you may have guessed, I like to write. (No, really!) I would say "I love to write," because that's true, but it sounds so cliché and it's so overused you can't help but wonder if it's true. In case you haven't gathered, I'm frightfully pretentious. I drink tea and wear a hand knitted Ravenclaw scarf when it's cold. Being an Aquarius, and so, an air sign (ironic, no? the water bearer is an air sign, but whatever) it is my job in life to one-up everyone, and know everything. According to Born on a Rotten Day , the body part associated with Aquarius is ankles - "constantly twisted from turning on your heel and walking out the door," but those may not be her exact words. (Okay, okay, in all seriousness, I'm really not usually this bad. Truth is, I'm just full of hot air. I swear I'm not usually this stuck-up, or this long winded. ... really.) --- *figuratively, of couse - I'm not trying to start a lawsuit :wink:

Hehehe..

Welcome!

And yeah, publishing it online means that you've published it. But that's not necessarily a bad thing, because if you get someone to critique your work, then you'll hopefully get better and be able to publish. Thus, the inherent beauty (confusion) of it all!

But you can always take it down after you revise.

Anyway, nice to see you here!

Greetings Meep!

Welcome to a great community. I am also an Aquarius too but I don't believe in horoscopes. If you ever need anything critiqued you can PM me, I'm not much of a poetry critic though.

See you! :mrgreen:

I've heard about the "posting-counts-as-publishing" loophole thingummy before - I've seen a lot of really amazing writers have to take their work down because they wanted to get published.
