It isn't New Years for another 3+ hours, here (East Coast of US). I understand completely, though. I lacks the magic it did when I was a kid.

Oh... I see. It's 4 am here, in Romania. Well, we can be kids whenever we want, I think. But it takes a lot of heart to genuinely feel it. As one writer I like said, our bodies are soil vessels, that keep our young spirit imprisoned. Nothing more true about our lives than that

Anyway, I'm heading to bed now, I had quite a long day.

Happy new year again, since you didn't celebrate it yet

Goodnight~

Nah, that would just spoil me. I hope you get everything you need, most of what you want and one day find yourself, if only for a visit, on the beach in California.

Haha I do not think so mr! But thanks for the wishes but my dreams are so far away from me right now so I just have to get drunk. I hate New Year so much so there's nothing else to do
I would rather be on a beach in California right now.
We speak soon when I'm not that depressed.

We all have to contribute in any way we can to the world we want to see. I want to see more creative artists encouraged. Given a choice between a Double Cheeseburger combo and giving a deserving young artist a Premium Membership, it's a no-brainer!

Thank you, for being worth time and attention and support. You are a remarkable creative artist and as with all true artists, your passion is both your purpose and your enemy.

It helps, as does joining groups and commenting on other people's works. Llamas, believe it or not, are also good for building a network.

I have always considered myself more of a plum. Under the right conditions, a banana. Occasionally a pomegranate.

i've never considered myself a specific fruit - so I'm sold on "peachiness".
Pomegranate's a new metaphor for me... so many associations to choose from.

williamfdevault In reply to Simetran [2010-12-23 09:56:40 +0000 UTC]

That's why I chose it. I prefer the complex structure, the bloody red juice and the mythical associations. Plus, it is supposed to be very good for you. Yes, I want to be a pomegranate with occasional lapses into mango and banana. And wild strawberries.

Simetran In reply to williamfdevault [2010-12-23 12:53:28 +0000 UTC]

Yup, the ruby-filled fruit is one of my favourites, so I'm happy for you to be one.
You're going to have to help me out with the mango metaphor.
and I'll have to think about what fruit I would be... get back to you on that one.

williamfdevault In reply to Simetran [2010-12-23 12:55:37 +0000 UTC]

The mango, tasty but because there is no freestone version of it, not as popular as it might be. It is difficult to master, but worth the effort.

I shall ponder now and let you know what I think I am and you can laugh at me on your end and just be polite about it by responding with a simple smiley to my metaphor. hahaa
Have a warm and delicious Xmas. I shall spend it soaking up some extra African sunshine whilst socialising with family and contemplating the fruit-thing (when I'm not eating something fabulously home-made).

OH! you can write blogs and stuff like that, thats the difference and i think on special occasion you would be able to vote on whether or not a deviation gets in (but dont take my word on that) the only thing tho is that you get the pesky notifications on members and stuff ( i 75% sure about that) because i am one for a different group and i get those -__-
