Thank you very much for the deviant watch. I appreciate it, and I believe I am going to reciprocate, because your delightful commentary thus far can't possibly go wrong later on down the road.
That, and I'd like to read what you've written as well.

oh, you, favouriting my journal that is denouncing the system of favourites. as soon as I saw you did that I had a good laugh, and I think I know you well enough to presume that you did so being well aware of the irony.
anyway, thanks.

you're incredible.
I have absolutely no words for the smile that I have from your thoughtful and insightful comments.
"thank you" seems generic, and not meaningful enough, but thank you all the same. you seriously made my day.

If you have read my previous reply to something you said earlier in reference to the cat, this is a somewhat continuation of that meaningless(full) apology. I cannot bring myself to reply to anything you have written to me. I feel as though I am not up to par, in a sense, and that there is no way that anything I reply will be anything less than a series of questions which you will answer, I will attempt to understand, but again only be able to reply with more questions. Even this makes me feel ridiculous, because i do not know you, yet I feel I need to explain myself. I hope you do, one day, find someone whose intelligence level carries as much weight as that of your own. I'm just a little fuck-face, and I think I will go lye in squalor as I consider what it's going to be like when I am damned. <--Irrelevant. Again, my apologies.

Worry not your little head about how small you feel, for you must have considered that I have considered how small I am compared to thing which you have not yet noticed; that my having noticed has only come thanks to my particular position on the mountain of human experience. There are Sherpas all over this range, and you shouldn't so easily write off that the simple fact that I've spent more time considering things, regardless of the fact that I have or have not had more or less actual available temporal opportunities, presuppose you to the opinion that it would leave me with such an attitude that would for whatever reason not wanting to spread my wisdom around , that somehow in not not answering your questions whenever and however frequently they came up and keeping all these things I've accumulated over the aforementioned concentrated time frame might somehow be seen as abhorrent rather than relieving. I beg you, consider the lengths of my sentences and come to the conclusion that the time between your questions and my answers could illustrate my disinterest. When you can speak such terms with the sarcasm I've intended you'll have the confidence to shout your questions up the mountain ready for the echoes which will result. Be not afraid if you don't recognize your own voice when you first hear it.

I regret to say that I am most likely still in the valley, but gradually trying to make my way up that mountain; however, I believe it's still a long time coming. I would like to thank you for your insights, though.

I dont't believe you'll find it to be any surprise that I used to look to others with the same baffled expression, feeling the same guilt stemming from some self-invented sense of violation. How dare I waste their precious time?? The best, most appropriate thing I can say is that I'm not worthy. They can't be mad at me for knowing my place or for wanting to be better. It won't get me anywhere, but at least I'll be at peace. I will say now, though, it is interresting to be on the other side of that thought. In a way it's nice to think the feet at which I once groveled my plain peasantry before might be as understanding as I am right now, or even as gracious for the promotion of status as I feel. I understand your reservation, and with it your halting hesitation. The most important thing is to be honest with yourself, and to "know thyself." If you're just a fuck-face now, that's fine. I was a bit of a shit in my formative days -still am a bit more than I should be today to be honest. I'm sure we can find some common ground, and if you don't think so then leave the onus up to me. Good luck.

When glancing back at the original I realized I used lye instead of lie. Odd.
Well, I suppose to become more intelligent, or more anything you, at one point or another, have to be around or talk to someone who already has the more that you crave. I'm seeing it almost as a right of passage.
Hopefully, soon I will gradually veer away from my fuck-faced mentality. I'll stop being that douche-bag who wears beanies in the summer just because I like the way they make my hair and face look. Oh, I'm sure it is very possible as well. I would hate for you to carry that burden on your own. So, I suppose it's time to look for common ground? Or not. Thank You.

after reading through the first half of your journal entry, I am inclined to delve into your collection and read your work...
but can I just point out that, as far as first impressions go, you seem very Intense... as if your thoughts are on the brink of unraveling and your fingers have to fly across the keyboard to catch every string of syntax threading from your mind; and yet there is an under-woven sense of clarity that makes your words knit together and feel almost normal.
Just saying.

shufflng In reply to oOcoffeegirlOo [2011-09-14 17:54:55 +0000 UTC]
My, that is quite an elaborate and almost uncomplimentary compliment. I suppose the mirroring in complexity deserves a thanks of the highest order.
It seems like a dead-on impression. I've actually thought about deviating the journal entry, since I spent longer on it than I did on the deviation for which it was an analysis. Thank you very much.
My page used to be constructed to be easier to navigate, but then I had this odd idea to make the page itself an experience. I explained it all in one of the comments on the journal entry you mentioned. I'm thinking of changing it back when I get a free moment and a point of inspiration as to what my new emphasis should be.
Thanks again. I hope you continued to find intensity rather than come across confusion as you traveled the gallery.

It was a compliment!
I probably spent 20 minutes trying to craft it in way that it wouldn't come off as insulting. (Which is definitely not how I wanted it to be interpreted.)
I'm relieved to find that you undestood what I was trying to accomplish.

shufflng In reply to oOcoffeegirlOo [2011-09-14 22:31:08 +0000 UTC]
Not a problem. I'm familiar with tossing words around behind one's teeth, knowing that the compliment sounds like an insult if not told properly.

Thank you very much for your recent comments. ^^ I appreciate them.
When you said that you were unfamiliar with my style, I got very curious about yours. So, of course, I had to visit your gallery.
Your poetry and writing are very interesting. And very good. There is this sort of puzzle-like feel to your writing. Almost as if your thoughts, or the meaning, is hidden in this beautiful arrangement of eloquent and sophisticated words and one has to read more than just the words to catch it.
But I guess that's what poetry is all about. I bet you can tell I'm not a poetry reader.
Needless to say, I kinda like your poetry. And that's saying a lot, coming from a story/novel-whore. ^^
Anyway, I really liked Lizard Skin. Quite ingenious how you molded the two ideas of the "devil" and "crocodile skin" together. I also read New Years and just started getting into "The Guilty" folder. ^^ Good stuff.

shufflng In reply to IsabelaPowers [2011-07-25 13:03:37 +0000 UTC]
Thanks a lot. You're digging deeper than I had expected. I'm glad to see that the categorization of my gallery has made it easier to navigate, or at least easier for others to explain their navigation to me. I think you'll like "The Guilty" since it's my foray into prose work. Let me rephrase that: I hope you like "The Guilty" since you've identified yourself as "a story/novel-whore" and I don't feel I've gotten enough opinion on my work from such a person (credentials, you see).
Lizard Skin is one of my tightest pieces, I'm quite proud of it, and I'm glad the imagery struck you whatsoever. "Ingenious" is quite a compliment.

i hope that the plethora of commentary i've provided for the deliciously perceptive & markedly unique pieces you posted recently were at the very least useful for you. if not, i'm sure i can clarify the sometimes incomprehensible ramblings into more coherent concepts if you'd like.
just leave a note and i'll be sure to alleviate the mumblings of my musings.

How inquisitive. I suppose I've been asking for it. I like to support art, I like to relate to people at whatever distance required, rather than be satisfied with my surroundings. I've been communicating with artists from around the world for many years now because that's what makes me feel good. This is as good as I can get, as familiar I can be with people, with you, since here I can live as a ghost, a memory.
