stephanie sunshine on August 17, 2006you've been here almost as infrequently as i. perhaps more so, i suppose. i'm revisiting the old pages, remembering. your name came to mind. hope you are well.
-
stephanie sunshine on October 24, 2003no, no. not perverse at all. keep in mind, i read something of yours concerning chastity belt. the allure of denial. so i understand that's a concept you toy with.
hope all is well. -
stephanie sunshine on October 5, 2003just a hello thought. hope things are well for you.

Princess Jo on June 26, 2003Your writing intreagues me. it leaves me with more questions than i had before i started to read it. (which, dont get me wrong: i like)
You clearly have a talent, your words are beautiful and (i wont say perfect but...) perfectly formed.
Thank you for letting me read some of your work

stephanie sunshine on May 21, 2003hello, hello.
how goes it?
i've been off a while, as my 'beau' came to town.
this summer i'll be moving and marrying.
big news, eh?
hope all is well with you and yours. -
stephanie sunshine on April 30, 2003sounds like a grand idea, friend.
let me know if/when you are 'available'.
ahem. no hidden innuendos. i promise. -
stephanie sunshine on April 28, 2003i was just thinking...

AIM?
yahoo messenger?
i've got both but frequent yahoo most regularly.
it would be nice to have something like real-time conversation with you. iff'n you're equipped and all.
interested.
etc.

if you're ever on. -
stephanie sunshine on April 19, 2003eh, now. the blunder's not so bad. i recall that you asked me to delete it. erm. for whatever reason, i was under the impression that only you could do it but i've realized i may be wrong. i'll give it another look-see and mayhaps next time you come it will be gone.
as for the propriety: when are you ever NOT exercising self-control and reservation?! if you don't unbind yourself through writing, you MUST do it elsewhere. er. maybe i don't really want to know. i'm not exactly prepared for sordid tales of mutilation or sexual escapades. not that... nevermind. it's early and i haven't exactly developed my OWN sense of propriety.
i hope all is well with you. we have hard times here, as always, and nothing but rain to boot. i live in minnesota and tornado season is approaching. i have this unnatural and mostly uncontrollable fear of the things. they plague my dreams at least every other night. strange, eh? i don't ever die and my grandmother is ALWAYS there. someone suggested that it reflects my sense of futility. loss of control. and that my grandmother is a central figure of security/stability. it makes sense, anyway. still, i wish the dreams would go because i'm not sleeping well.
i have a tendency to ramble here. i hope you don't mind. if so, just delete MY blunders. and really, my feelings will not be hurt. take it easy.

stephanie sunshine on March 23, 2003vithano,
i'm almost embarassed to ONCE AGAIN be caught lounging around on your pages. your presence has been missed and I seem never to see you. i was made a fast fan of your writing and would really enjoy having you around as a more active participant. ah well. some people have REAL lives to tend to, no?! anyway, you were thought of and wondered about.
hope all is well and please....
post something new SOON!
i'm feigning. -
stephanie sunshine on March 7, 2003ack.
i've managed to take up quite a bit of space on your page, eh?
all apologies, etc. for some undefined reason, i am continually drawn to your page. there's an allure factor, though i can't pinpoint just what it is.
anyway. as i only 'see' you rarely, take care in all your absences. -
stephanie sunshine on March 7, 2003have not seen you in some time.
hope all is well. -

well verses=well verseD. -
stephanie sunshine on February 25, 2003ah, friend,
i don't know what information you'd like to be privy to, but i'll compile a bit that you might at least consider relevant. i was born into a troubled family. my parents were young addicts and the pressures of family life proved to be unbearable. even now, my father is a 'recovering' crack-addict. at the moment, my mother is in the psyche ward of her local hospital. such has been the trend for the duration of my memory and i guess...
i turned to writing as catharsis. a method of escapism.
i'm not at all well-verses. i'm familiar with names such as thomas, cummings, shelley, etc. etc. can't say i've ever really had the inclination to read beyond what was part of my general h.s. curriculum.
poetry as an art form appeals to me because i love the manipulation of it. the craft. all the tedious elements. words and language in general are SO malleable. i like to challenge as best i can (while maintaining some semblance of lucidity) the "normal" or accepted connotations we tend to associate with any given word.
eh, anyway...
i'm not well-versed. studied. trained. disciplined. but writing is something i derive much enjoyment from. and as you said, i love to read what others have done as well. strange. that i could spend hours putzing around on allpoetry, but i've never taken initiative to pick up a library compilation or collection of a 'known' persona.
will this do? -
vithano on February 25, 2003dear stephanie: thank you for the compliment. Yes, I am a Singaporean, but English is my primary tongue --- after all, it is the language I think in. I learnt it mostly from my mother, and watching television
I read very little as a child. Introduced to the serious study of literature only in high school, I began reading and writing poetry privately only when I was 18 (which is why it always impresses me to see 14 yr olds already writing on this site). I dedicate the blossoming of my talent for sentimental doggerel to a certain girl I got to know at the time
I believe Dylan Thomas was my first favorite poet. "Do not go gentle into that good night" -- who could read such a poem without bearing away from it a lasting desire to perpetuate its music?Every one of my poems has been, in one way or another, the re-invention of this first love. Perhaps some day I shall repay the debt completely, and write a new poem.
Lately, however, it has been the reading and not the writing of poetry that has caught my interest. Writing a good critique can be as satisfying as producing a poem, and sometimes just as creative and self-expressive. The French are masters at this. And in a sense we read all the time, even when we write -- the lines that appear in our minds are read by us first before being set down.
I hope I'm less of a mystery to you now Perhaps, if it is not too much trouble, you could say more about yourself too -- the short introduction on your page, combined with your home page (yes, I've visited it), create a deep but enigmatic impression.
-
stephanie sunshine on February 24, 2003i was just thinking....
sifting through your comments, i noticed that you referred to yourself as a 'foreigner' which leads me to believe you are native to singapore? your grasp of the english language (as something other than your primary tongue) is phenomenal. your vocabulary spans a breadth i can't even comprehend: i'm constantly tossed to my dictionary for a helping hand in understanding some of your references.
anyway....
guess maybe i was just curious about you. your upbringing. your interest in writing, etc.
hope all is well. -
stephanie sunshine on February 22, 2003egads.
i feel as though i can't go ANYWHERE unless vcrestfallen has already forged the path. that said: thank you kindly for your extremely in-depth critiques. i can't i've ever had anyong delve so deeply and so eloquently express his/her opinions. i must also say that the calculated effort leaves me nearly swooning.
again, thank you for reading and commenting. it's always appreciated. -
crestfallen on February 20, 2003Hey, I just wanted to stop by and thank you for your comments on my poetry it's very much appriciated! Your talent is such a wonderful find! It seems to me that your talent comes very naturally to you, and you have a inherant ability to write on several different levels while maintaining the integrity of what your trying to say. On one hand there's the obvious messege, then there is what is kept between the lines but still fairly unencrypted; finally however, there is this third and very elusive quality or level of meaning that keeps the reader on a lovely pursuit of implications. You'll be seein' more of me! ;)

crestfallen on February 4, 2003Hey! I suppose I should first welcome you to AP before I jump right in and start gushing about how amazing your poetry is! I wanted to stop by and thank you for your sweet comment on 'fetish', but as I'm sure you can tell I got a little wrapped up in your writing. You have a very origional and unique approach, and so many interesting and unexpected ideas. Very refreshing, I can tell I'm going to like having you around AP! I didn't get through all of your poetry, but I do plan to come back a bit later and finish what I've missed. (You've got me hooked now) If you've got some time I'd love it if you'd check out a few of my writes. See you around.
