, I'm sure that you're an awesome writer.

Good luck for your Viva

hey, don't be so sure!!!!


Viva was sick. Didn't even feel like an assessment.
wooo!

 

[zomgliekwtf]

Err, hi. I'm doing performance poetry...

*feels lonely*

 

[alex.leon]

lol. thats sick.
how do you..like...do it?

 

[zomgliekwtf]

I write, edit, consult teacher, edit, consult teacher, edit, etc., then record multiple chunks multiple times, then smoosh it all together and add nicenice effects.

Tada!

So far I've written 2/4 poems, and semi-recorded only one of them.
Hmm, I should work faster...

But instead of working, I do sillysilly things, likelike I wrote a poem for Neopets' poetry competition! I swear, I will put BOTH my Neopets on a hunger strike if my poem isn't published within the next month. I spent a good 30 minutes on it.

 

[alex.leon]

neopets? really?
wow.

i havent been on neopets..since..i don't even know since when. seriously.
i can remember my username though. and my password.
i think ill go on now. bahaha, this should be fun.

Ohmygod, I love it Dx *envies* You got 50/50, yeah? *has been e-stalking you for quite some time*

What'd you use for editing and stuff? I'm using audacity at the moment 'cause its free and I'm cheap xD but I'm thinking of *ahem* legally obtaining other software. Not sure what to use though =/ Soundbooth? Audition? gah, iunno Dx

Also, NO ONE in my class has started reporty thingamabobby yet Dx And heaps of people doing short stories and stuff have <500 words. Lol, we're all screwed ;__;

 

[many-eyeshere]

I'm doing poetry and love it. I just finished my first draft of all 18 poems.

Good luck to everyone doing poetry!

 

[many-eyeshere]

God I love beat poetry, I've used Ginsberg and Kerouac as well. Ginsberg is simply...amazing. I can't wait to read On the Road when I get the time, Kerouac writing about his road trip with Ginsberg.

Err, hi. I'm doing performance poetry...

*feels lonely*

Yay! Me too, we can be lonely together. From what I hear it generally gets pretty bad marks so it's a bit daunting. The only 50s I've ever heard of are the girl that posted before (and her piece 'Theirs') and Miranda Stokes, who wrote 'placebo...' (which is amazing). I've listened to some of the Showcases and find most of them horribly boring, pretentious or both.

I'm really unsure about the whole recording thing because I'm so used to having an audience. But I'll work it out.

YAY! I HAVE A FRIEND! *hugs*

I haven't heard 'Placebo...' Dx In fact, I haven't even looked at any of the Showcases!

Euuurrggh, I hope mine isn't boring/pretentious =__=; I'm singing one of my poems all nursery-rhymeish-like with pretty happy staccato'd chords in the background. That's neither boring nor pretentious, right? Dx *panicks*

I'm really unsure about the whole poetry + performance thing xD 'cause I only really started writing poetry...err, this year >_> and I'm not sure if they'll think all my effectyish thingies are just a sad attempt to hide my lack of performance skills (which they are, but shhh >__>)

So...I've written all 4 of my poems, but I've only recorded 1 of them, and I haven't started my reflectiony thingy yet. Am I fucked? T_T *freakout*

 

[zomgliekwtf]

OH. ALSO, question:

Must our performance poetry be given in on a cassette as specified? =/ 'cause mine has stereo effecty-ish stuff happening and, well, cassettes don't do that xD

They MUST have something that reads CDs, right? =__=;;

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Oh I wish I had boobs that would wobble
Mine just stay still in one place
In the breast hall of fame
You won't see my name
For my boobs there would be a disgrace[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Sure boobs of my size have their merit
They're easy to fit with a bra
And when I go for a dip
You won't see one slip…out
They stay put…just where they are[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]And I'm not one to seek much attention
So you won't find me strutting about
In a boob tube that's trying
by gravity defying
to leave no room, not even for doubt[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]But I sure envy big breasted women
I've seen them at parties you know
With all confidence thrust
In their mighty big bust
Entrancing the men as they go[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Though I've heard from a big bosomed buddy
That it's not all it's cracked up to be
She says in frustration
"Try to hold conversation
When there's only two things a guy sees" [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Now if I paid a few grand to enlarge them
To, say thirty-six b or c
Would they still look so natural
And could I class them as collateral
Sorta like home improvements on me[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Now I've not taken this boob thing just lightly
I've done quite a bit of research
As I try to keep abreast
In my mammary quest
I've found there's a bit to be learned[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] There's questions that need to be answered
Like cleavage, how wide and how deep
I can have nipples bigger
But somehow I figured
That could poke Sweetie's eye in his sleep[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Oh, I wish I had boobs that were awesome
I'd buy a bright red bathing suit
On the beach I would run
In slow motion for fun
To show off my best attribute[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Now don't think I'd just get them for vanity
There's much I'd aspire to do
I could feed many babies
When I was lactating
And for convenience, I could offer drive-thru[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]In a t-shirt I'd test air conditioning
They could 'see' if they had it too low
And if I stood outside
My breasts pumped up with pride
Police'd use me to stop traffic flow[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Well you can see I've a lot to consider
For the big plunge, I need some more time
So I'll keep you updated
But for now they're just fated
To stay as they are for a while[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]And there's my sweetie who totally accepts me
For he loves each and every little…bit
He says "stay as you are
You're the most beautiful by far"
As he gazes into my eyes…not my tits[/FONT]

the cat sat
on the mat
chasing a rat
whilst making
a fat
turd
yes its true the
cat thats sitting
on the mat has
a problem
for you see
its not me
who is the one chasing the rat
but the cat is
the rat is being chased because it
gave green eggs and ham to sam
the cat that is now chasing the rat
bob the rat failed to notice the green
eggs for what they were
rotten eggs and ham were given to sam
now bob will sob inside the cat who ate the rat on the mat
suffering from the effects of rotten eggs and ham the cat got off the mat and instead overdosed on pills because it needed its sunday thrills

now bob and sam are in heaven eating lots of devon
because it is their favourites like a monkey who eats
bananas

then when bob and sam thought it was all over the cat and rat woke up
broke up and stopped seeing each other the end

look m8, you're clearly no GOD

Edit: Whats doing anyway? any poets still floating around? finished MWs/RS or?..

 

[zomgliekwtf]

Just finished xD

 

[alex.leon]

Just finished xD

Nearly there. Nearly. Looks like we're both on the procrastination boat, eh.
I'm just editing the RS again and I'll be sweet. I feel good though, I'm the only person in my Ext 2 class who started the RS before the night before its due

 

[zomgliekwtf]

Man, I didn't sleep last night. It was awful Dx

My printer stopped working at about 3am. AHAHAHAH. But I managed to get a friend to print it around 6ish Dx

AND THEN I realised I forgot to print the centre number on the front page, so I had to get him to reprint the page.

AND THEN about 20 seconds before handing it in, I realised I wrote "exam centre" instead of "centre number". Wtf?! Ohwell =___=;; doubt they'd take away marks for something silly like that.
