Oh lord. It's been a while.
I'm seriously considering deleting this account.
I'm fed up with this place, to put it bluntly.
It seems like everyone who calls themselves "poets" have given up what it used to mean to -be- a poet.
You don't just scribble words down because you feel something, space it, slap it so it rhymes (forced, of course), don't bother to study your craft- and call yourself a poet!
Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but spelling errors shouldn't go unnoticed. Lack of punctuation and capitalization shouldn't go unpunished... unless the aim is free-verse. But then, if it is free-verse, then quit trying to force it to rhyme and space it into crappy quatrains!
Everyone feels.
Everyone can put a pen to paper.
NOT everyone can be a poet.
No, I'm not puffing myself up. I've still got a ways to go, too! But, I'm learning. I'm studying. I'm working as hard as I can to get as close to perfect as I possibly can. I don't just assume that what I'm writing right now will be anything even worth reading twenty years from now. But I'm not a "casual" writer, and I'm not one of those usurpers of the title of "poet".
Thank you.
Anyway, on to me!
My name is Aimee. It is pronounced "Ah-mee".
I'm 20 years old and live in a town that no one's ever heard of in Indiana. I promised myself I'd leave here when I was 18. Look who got crippled by her own mind. No job. No car. So where am I? Still here.
I'm only 4'11", so I'm very short. I'm 115lbs, but my friend thought I weighed 90 (when soaking wet) lol. So I guess I'm thin. I don't know. But, given my disorders, of course I'm bigger than I'd like. I'd like to lose about 30 more pounds. Then I think I'd be ok.
I have naturally brown hair. Though right now it's dyed black, hot pink, and blonde. It's faded though and is now a gross mix of brown, black, blonde, and reddish blonde. I have the ever popular side-part (had it since BEFORE it was popular, so there) and it's past my shoulders now. I got over the impulse to shave my head every year.

Life... Sometimes when you think it's thrown everything at you that it possibly can, it grabs the kitchen sink and hurls it straight for your head. And in those five seconds of fight or flight moment, you gotta make the decision.

x--nocturnia--x on February 14, 2008... I like you. I realise I've read this before, but I read it again anyway. There are things I don't like - two. But you overcame one. I dont dislike your inyourface attitude, but it did irk me for a moment.
You're an interestingly lonely seeming soul.
I want to be ur friend... -
HollyxHavok on November 29, 2007Wow...
The intro is amazing and reminds me of myself much more than I expected it to once I started reading...
It's like an inspiration for my own life story, you know?
I don't wanna grow old either, but I'm too scared to die. -
x--nocturnia--x on September 23, 2007I enjoyed your intro (^^^) much more than I expected. Your depth and honesty are definately your strong points. You say what's in my head but to great to be in my actions.
Nyce.
