Well Fine Then!
This was intended as a comment to Olivier's 'Unprovoked Response' post. The comment box is not working. Here it be:
I think the way you blog has a lot to do with you. Chan thinks and expresses herself largely through her emotions, and it's tangible in her posts. I don't think you have to spill your guts on a post to make it any more or less of a post - it's just a little polaroid of what you were thinking about when you wrote it, your tone, your chain of thought, your pace. You spill when you want to, (and when you spill, you SPILL), but for the most part you post things that are witty and analytical, which is what you normally wear on your sleeve willingly. So if my blog is representative of me I'm random, visual, and sporadic. :)

Hue Manatee
Dickinson-esque poem i wrote for humanities. (aka lame excuse for a post)
The twisting, turning, chiming
Of that great grandfather time
Called to me in the dancing
Hands of syncopated mime.
Sturdy, precise
And spinning sprint revolving fast,
The two-armed piece
Whelmed and hypnotized me at last.
Mesmerize; at once one and apart
Twirling together the swift fox trots
With the other soft lethargic heart.
The perpetual whirls til I've forgot.
While the brevities turn the hours 'tick,'
The shorter marks the differences.
The steps of the tango that cross, kick,
Weave to circumnavigate the inches.
The twisting, turning, chiming
Of that great grandfather time
Called to me in the dancing
Hands of syncopated mime.
Sturdy, precise
And spinning sprint revolving fast,
The two-armed piece
Whelmed and hypnotized me at last.
Mesmerize; at once one and apart
Twirling together the swift fox trots
With the other soft lethargic heart.
The perpetual whirls til I've forgot.
While the brevities turn the hours 'tick,'
The shorter marks the differences.
The steps of the tango that cross, kick,
Weave to circumnavigate the inches.
