So I signed up for two classes this semester, Biology I and Statistics 141.  Prerequisites, whatever.  Took a week and a half of both and thought, "Oh joy, high school all over again."  The kicker was when the stats teacher said that the whole semester was going to be on descriptive statistics. Quick run-down for those less mathematically-inclined.  Stats has two branches, descriptive and inferential.  Descriptive is basically graphs and the properties thereof, whereas inferential is the art of making a tiny segment of the population into an indicator for the population at large.  The Academic Decathlon often uses it as a math subject, and i

Yes, I'm still breathing.  Yes, I'm still writing.  Yes, I haven't been here, so no, I haven't been ignoring you (intentionally). I got replanted in a new proverbial pot, and it's taken some time for the shock to wear off.  Everything's better now, and life is starting to feel a bit more "normal" again.  I started to get annoyed by my own poetry, though, and stopped writing for a while.  Hopefully it'll be a good thing in the end.  I've started reading outside poetry a lot more, though: critiques, anthologies, trade journals, etc.  It's definately given me a better appreciation for free-verse poetry.  In all honesty, this place can turn you

Well, I got one and a half poems done.  As soon as I'm done editing the finished one it'll be up.  Now, on a happier note, I need you all to judge between my avatars.  I don't particularly care for either of them.  My old one is on my poetry previews.  Head over to my front page and you can't miss it.  My new one is well...where the avatar goes.  I also have a third one that I put together in MS Paint of a book and inkwell (I'm a closet pixel artist).  It looked pretty good as a 24-bit bitmap, but horrendous as a gif (funny how that happens, eh?).  So...what do you all think?  Go back to the rose, keep this gift avatar, or gamble with the new

Thank you so much for the :+fav:!
You came over and didn't say hello!!

:) Hello - hope everything is going well. You need to submit something! Or at least tear apart some of the crap I've been submitting lately. Take care.

Hello! Thanks for the advice about b&w on "success is everywhere": [link]

The fact is that i'm all digital (beginning on film with the pentax ME super my dad gave me!), and that the screen here is very bad calibrated so the photos looks like shit :(
Good to hear from you again :blowkiss: Thank you for the favourite - needless to say, I'm honoured, and humbled.

I hope that everything is going well - we will have to chat one day if you get the chance!
Wow. Well, your welcome. And also thank you. Heh. It's always nice to see that someone appreciates criticism, even if it's not the writer itself who tells you so. :) So thank you.

Just curious, what poem was it that you mentioned?

Thanks again. Heh.
Hi, I haven't from you in awhile but thanks for the recent :+fav:
