B'aw, hello dear! x
Glad to see you, thanks for watching me here as well!
I'm trying to figure out what's going to be posted where, because I don't want to delete my other dA either.
I think a lot of my literature is going to be here, though.

Lots of people have two dA accounts. For a bit I used to, but I gave the old one up for reasons I'll tell you about later...

Oh, thank you so much! This is actually just a side account, for more personal writing that I don't want people on my main dA to see. Some might be about them, and things. But thank you for the welcome.
And oh, not a problem! It's a beautiful piece. I was drawn right from the beginning, which is something I love. A strong opener really makes the piece pop.
And aw, you really don't have to! If you do, though, I hope I don't disappoint.
Have a lovely day, darling. x

Hey, I was wondering how you're changing the font size on your profile and in your poems. Is it simple HTML? In any case, a small pt size gives a more pleasant texture so it does look attractive, but I have to make a bit more effort to read it. It might not be the best choice to resize your texts.
Also, I will have to take you up on your offer to refrain yourself regarding the use of the word 'babe' in particular. What an ugly word that is...
No sweat though.

brokenfragilethings In reply to MartinSilvertant [2013-04-02 19:40:12 +0000 UTC]
It is simple HTML. Just < sub > without the spaces.
And thank you. I'll keep that in mind! However I really do like the look of it, so I might end up sticking with it. It's just a personal preference for my poems. Sometimes I like the look of certain words or lines being smaller than others, simply for the effect of it being said quieter, or less confidently. But I really will keep it in mind.
And oh! Sorry. It's a really bad habit. I actually really like the word, for some reason. As well as dear and love. It's a bit of a problem, I've actually been trying to not use them, but most of the time I don't even realize it.
Thanks for letting me know! Hope I didn't bother you too much.

I'm very knowledgeable when it comes to typography and readability, so I can only offer you advice. If you were using a crazy font, I would really urge you to go back to the default, but in this case it's really up to you. Old people will likely have trouble reading it, but I'm not old yet, so until then...
No need to apologize. I'm a bit surprised you would even offer to refrain it; I don't have that kind of concern for others. 'Dear' and 'love' sound more charming to me, but 'babe' I find very ugly. It's funny how you unconsciously write a whole extra word behind a sentence though. Since a year or so I started making grave mistakes in my sentences: I often write a completely different word from what I mean, and when I double check (which I mostly do, but not always) I'm really surprised that particular word snuck in. The unconscious mind is fascinating.

brokenfragilethings In reply to MartinSilvertant [2013-04-02 19:55:32 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, I saw! I think it's quite fascinating, really. I'm not really knowledgeable with it, since I've never actually looked into it. But I can definitely appreciate something interesting when I see it.
I just, personally, like the way it looks. So for the most part, I think I'm going to stick with it. (:
Oh, I genuinely don't want to make anyone feel uncomfortable, ever. I'm the type of person who likes to make sure that everyone's alright in a situation, haha. Unless, really, it comes to my writing. Like I said, I write to let my feelings out so they don't fester into something worse. And that's the one thing I have control over, so I'm going to try and utilize it however I seem to enjoy. It's always a plus if someone likes my work!
And oh, I know! I honestly don't realize, and I do add a whole word. I don't even choose which word I use, most of the time one of the three just ends up...there. Oh, really? That's really interesting. You might be thinking of that thing as you're writing? That happens to me sometimes. I can't listen to music as I write, because chances are I'll write what lyrics I hear, and sing what I'm trying to write, haha.

Oh, I genuinely don't want to make anyone feel uncomfortable, ever.
I personally feel like people take things too seriously. I'm certainly guilty of that as well, but it does make it fun to play with that. I don't make people uncomfortable just for the hell of it, but I do tend to cross boundaries.
You might be thinking of that thing as you're writing?
Hmm it would have to be really deep in my mind because I'm always surprised at seeing that particular word. It usually doesn't mean anything to me in relation to what I was typing or what was on my mind. That's exactly what's so interesting to me, because indeed it had to be in my brain at the moment or I wouldn't have written it.

brokenfragilethings In reply to MartinSilvertant [2013-04-02 20:20:22 +0000 UTC]
People may take things too seriously, that's true! I'm guilty of it sometimes, too. However, for the most part, I'm pretty laid back about a lot of things. But I do know that the things I'm uncomfortable about really give me anxiety, so I try to keep people comfortable, simply because I know how it feels. It's just how I am. I don't think crossing boundaries is always a bad thing. Sometimes people need the little push. I just prefer to avoid more awkward or anxiety than I need.
Ah, that's true. Sorry, I forgot the part where you said it was surprising. Like, with me, I'll see part of a lyric I was singing, and be like 'Welp.' But, yeah. It had to have been in some part of your mind. The human mind is wonderfully fascinating.

Hello! Haha. Oh, as for my dad's surgery(I'll just answer here)
the problem he had was an unstable angina, which is like, the heart doesn't get a good, regular flow of blood and oxygen? He was SUPER close to a heart attack, if we hadn't gotten him to the hospital when we did.
He had to get angioplasty, which opens the artery back up, and a stent was placed to make sure it stays open. It was a pretty long process.
But he was, like, 3-packs of cigarettes a day, 4 coffees, and 3 donuts. It wasn't just smoking, the donuts and coffees kind of made it worse, too.
but he's alright now! I would just keep an eye on your dad if I were you, then. Parents can be stubborn )':
How're you?

nosedivve In reply to brokenfragilethings [2013-04-02 16:57:01 +0000 UTC]
Oh wow. That's insane. And sounded like it was pretty scary or something. Just how he was feeling, how you & your family must have felt... It is really good that he is better now and didn't have a heart attack.
It sounds like a long process. And painful.
Three packs?? Damn, I thought 2 & 1/2 was a lot...wow..
Aw, that really sucks. Hopefully he slowed up on all of that if not stopped?
That's good he's alright! Yeah, I am. Ever since he got this, he's been acting so weird. It's kind of sad to watch him like this. I really hope he gets a hobby and does something fun, for once.
I'm good - just a little nervous...finally uploaded to soundcloud, haha. And you?

brokenfragilethings In reply to nosedivve [2013-04-02 17:02:37 +0000 UTC]
It was pretty terrifying, yeah. It started off with chest pains, he wasn't able to breathe right. After some time my mom put her foot down and made him go to the hospital. Good thing, too.
And yeah. Three packs, at least. Two and a half is still a lot as well, though. \: And yes. My father hasn't been smoking for at least 9 or 10 years, now? (:
I know the feeling. Hobbies could be cool. Maybe he likes cars or something? My dad's really good with art and things. He loves to draw, and he sometimes does origami. It keeps him busy, sometimes. He's also big on video games LOL.
And oh, cool! Nervous about soundcloud?
Well, I don't use soundcloud o': I don't even know what it really does? O:
I'm okay. A little sad. Hanging in there. All's well.

nosedivve In reply to brokenfragilethings [2013-04-02 17:08:06 +0000 UTC]
Aw. Glad your mom finally made him go.
At least? That's terrible. Ah, that's pretty long time smoking...
My dad's been smoking for about 38 years or so. (He's about 58...57? Is it sad I can't remember?)
That's awesome! ...well, honestly my mom & I have no idea what he would like, and feel Ike he'll get pissed off at whatever hobby he tries (he has anger issues). He's pretty impatient. He does like cars...he watches a bidding show for cars...in fact, all he does all day is watch TV.
Yeah. I uploaded three of my poems said out loud, because I said I would. And I uploaded a video of me singing, and I really have no confidence in that...it was just a test run. Hope it's not bad as I think.
I rarely use soundcloud, but all it really is is a site for mp3 type-like files for people to listen to.
Aw, I'm sorry you're feeling a bit down. Anything I can do to help?

brokenfragilethings In reply to nosedivve [2013-04-02 17:15:48 +0000 UTC]
Oh, I mean, he's been clean of smoking for 9-10 years now. He'd been smoking since he was, like, 16. Until at least 50? so, yeah, around the 30+ year range as well.
And yeah, I feel you. My dad has anger problems as well, he likes to find out what he likes on his own. And none of us can really offer things. haha.
Your father and my father should have lunch. Sounds like they'd get along. LOL.
My dad's gotten pretty sick as of late, though. But it's a viral infection. He's got to try and wait it out, but it's pretty bad.
Oh! That sounds awesome (: I'm sure it's not.
Thank you for the offer, it's very sweet of you. (: But, no. I think it's just a strange form of heartbreak. I don't know. I just need to get over it. Write a little, maybe. It'll be all right. I was just lead on a little, I guess. I don't even know. It's a very complicated situation, down at the core. But I'll be fine. Thank you, dear. <3

Nah, don't even apologize! I just wanted to clarify (: And yeah. I guess it kind of freaked him out, and stuff. And my mom and I would be pissed as all living hell if he picked up smoking again.
Occasionally he'll have a cigar with friends. But it's alright.
And thank you! I hope as well.
That's a nice way to think about it. I'm here for people as well, I try to keep myself open for people's problems and things. I like to help. And it gets my mind off of myself, which is nice.

I know what you mean. I mean, personally, I think home life has to be a little uncomfortable--because then you'd never leave. And the whole point is leaving and becoming your own person, and what not. I think I'm ready. The environment here can get a little toxic.
And aw, I feel you. >.< I have a little dog, too. My mom loves her like crazy, though, so I know she'll definitely be okay with me in college.
Aw, thank you! I appreciate it. C: Also! Not to sound weird, but I literally call everyone babe or babs or dear or love or whatever. If you have a problem with it, let me know! I usually like to ask before, so yeah. Just because sometimes it makes people uncomfortable.

That would make sense. Very true. I'd say I already am my own person, except for knowing finical things & standpoints. And a few other little things....so I'm almost there. (I really like having a sense of self. It's nice to have) It can, sometimes, I agree.
Aw, what kind & how old? That's good. My dad really cares for my dog, but she misses me like crazy whenever I leave...even if it's a short bit of time. It makes me sad thinking about how much she'd miss me if I were gone for a long time.

Same here. I'm ready to be out on my own, I can tackle financial things and what not when I need to. I mean, I still definitely need some help, but I think dorming in college is going to be a great experience with learning those things.
Some people seriously rely on their home life, though. They never want to leave. Like, ever.
And while it's wonderful to love your parents that much, sometimes you need to learn to, just, like...learn to go. And things. I have a friend like this, I worry about her.
She's...pretty old already. \: 13, and a teacup poodle. She's pretty healthy, minus a little bit of arthritis that makes us have to carry her up stairs. It's still scary, though.
Yeah, my dog's more attached to my mom than she is to me LOL. We got her when I was young, so my mom took care of her and things, so it stuck her as 'owner.' It's cute about your dog, though! I love when dogs attack you with love. It's a nice feeling.
And alright! I'm glad, haha. It's a bad habit I picked up. Most people I meet stare at me as if I'm nuts when I call them babe. x'D

I don't understand, but I can at the same time, when people never want to leave home. It makes me feel a little bad for them, like I should help them and agshsidhsjs.
I definitely agree.
Oh, that is pretty old. Sounds like a cute dog. I hope that's all that she'll ever have. I am sorry she has arthritis, though.
I understand. my dog is almost equally attached to me as she is with my dad. Some days she prefers him. Others she prefers me. Strange dog. It is a nice feeling. She usually attacks guests with love, for the most part. She just won't leave them alone. She loves humans and other animals too much sometimes. (She still gets happy when she sees the cat next door, even though it clawed her eye...) She's 4, almost 5, and a Australian shep mixed with border collie. Her name's Mia.
Ah, it's fine! I wouldn't call it a bad habit. ..a sweet habit that could seem creepy to people or really kind to others, is what I'd call it. XP

And yeah, SAME. I'M LIKE, HEY, BABE (to my friend, the one who's kind of ready to stay with her parents forever) ROAD TRIP? LETS--LETS DO SOMETHING, PLEASE. PLEASE.
Like if she would just see how fun it can be out there, I think she'd like it. And her parents would always support her, anyway, so she wouldn't have to worry about just being thrusted into life, or something.

Yeah! We ended up meeting on the facebook accepted students page and sort of hit it off. Ended up toying with the idea of roommates, and then we went to visit on the same day and toured together, and we hit it off. So, I think that's pretty neat (:
And, oh man. I was super...confident as a kid LOL. Like, I wasn't really shy at all. Really outgoing.

Or a flood, or something.
OH MAN I THOUGHT THAT WAS JUST ME LOL
And oh, man. I'm super awkward. And not in the way a lot of people say 'awkward'. Like, not the "aw, she's so cute and awkward, aw." but more like the "what the fuck is wrong with you" kind of awkward LOL
Like, super uncomfortable awkward, and stuff. I hate that the 'awkward' connotation now has become something people want to be. As if it's 'cute'. Like. It's kind of not. It's social anxiety and it's kind of terrifying lol.
