are you planning to share you little literary masterpieces with the general public?
you'd have carsen drooling over original material he can add to his library

[thesystemisdown]

I hadn't planned on it.
It's not like I think they're anything amazing

Do you think I should?

[rubikscomplex]

oh, absolutely

[He wants to popcorn the fallout and people who inevitably try to follow suit with their own angst-ridden poetry. It should be entertaining.]

i'm all about team spirit
what better way to build it than sharing what we love?
you go, gurl!
:)

[thesystemisdown]

Oh my gosh, you sound so sincere!
Now I have to go ahead and do it
And maybe ask people to share their own writings as well if they want :3

[rubikscomplex]

totes!!!
it's just the kinda thing this places needs
i can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with
might even put a poem in there myself

[thesystemisdown]

ooh please do! I look forward to it

[rubikscomplex]

we'll see how i'm feeling when your post goes up
;)

[thesystemisdown]

come on I'm potentially providing you a lot of entertainment at the expense of other people
you owe me something in return

[rubikscomplex]

not really an artistic soul
but how about i play you a song?

[thesystemisdown]

:O
what instrument do you play?

[rubikscomplex]

piano
guitar
harmonica
flute

you get the flute right now
it's the only thing i got

[thesystemisdown]

oh wow that is really impressive! :OOOOO
I can play the piano a bit but I only started recently so I'm really bad at it

I'll need to give some thought to what song I want to request though
if I only get one I want it to be good

[rubikscomplex]

good and something i actually know
you'll have more luck with classic rock than whatever teeny bop music you listen to regularly

[thesystemisdown]

Actually I've mostly been listening to rap lately.
not that it makes much difference in terms of playability

[rubikscomplex]

[... Well, okay. She just became marginally more interesting.]

christian rap?
cause that's not real rap

[thesystemisdown]

ahaha no
i imagine there might be some interesting lyrics there but I have a hard time taking religious topics seriously
no I meant actual real rap
I used to just dismiss it because I had that common perception that it's just stupid bragging and violence and sexism
but when I gave it a chance I discovered that it can actually be an amazingly strong medium in the use of words

[rubikscomplex]

[Poetry. Right. That makes more sense.]

fair enough
i can't exactly rap with a flute, tho
think on it
pray on it
get back to me
maybe i'll have a better instrument by then

[thesystemisdown]

if i come up with a good request will you play it on the network

[rubikscomplex]

why, mon-mon
are you trying to get me to be social?
"good" being arbitrary
i'm gonna go with "yes"
