People Amuse Me

Hi Gayle!
I read up a lot on you and I have to say I've been inspired to wwrite poetry
because of you you're pretty awesome! i even went to your live-journal
You might not like the poem it's the first one I have tried in a while but I
though I would share it with you

To the little whore
Of whom I abhor;
Whom calls herself, by choice, Queer;
I address you now,
You cyst-ridden cow;
Your motives are all too clear.
Your quaint point of view
Is sacred to you--
You're spoiled in your own fashion;
It's to the point which
You act like a bitch
About your little cult passion.
Words cannot express
The disgust which behests
Me when to you my thoughts turn;
A face as ugly as sin
Doesn't even begin
To describe one's looks so spurned.
I find you quite tiring,
Leaving me desiring
Someone not a slave to your view;
Not easily found
Is something as sound
As SweetPrince's words of truth.
Your flaws are exposed
Like short, choppy prose
Beneath his microscopic lens;
So run little girl,
Run fast and then curl
Fetal and cry to your friends.
Banshee was a riot
Which seemed to keep you quiet,
And rarely reply him did you.
But that's just fine;
I'm sure he didn't mind
Sharing his elite point of view.
Pure_Shite got it right-
You're a mental fright-
And I don't mean powerful, dear;
You sleep with a man
Which is why I can
Not help but think you're a bit 'queer'

i rea;;y liked the play-on-words at the end with 'queer' meaning odd- quite
clever, eh ?

insecurity flows
where my gayle madwin goes
and nobody knows like me

no one embraces a slur

Let's see... it's because you HAVE no charms. Neither does she. Just cysts, moles, and scars.

metacarp is 100% certified solid charms all the way through, and quite the prettiest human being ever to walk the face of the earth.

Incidentally, I haven't got a single mole anywhere on my body. Also, the sum total of cysts and scars combined is only four, and metacarp is actually the only person on the planet who's seen all four of them, since none of them are at all easily noticed by random passersby. They aren't an issue. I strongly suspect that the huge majority of people on earth, if they added up their total number of cysts, moles, and scars, would have more than I do. Including you.

However, if you had a more enlightened sense of aesthetics, you'd also realize that moles and other such irregularities are frequently considered beauty marks, and some people even scar or brand themselves as a form of decoration.

I have... 2 scars. No cysts, and I'm not aware of any moles. Just beauty marks. Thanks for asking, tho!

Man!

I never get hate mail like that!!

I am So. Fucking. Jealous.

Next time post full email headers so I can write in with my own requests! That's so awesome! Where can I get my own set of these guys?

Excuse, me...sorry for interjecting here... I'm not posting to start any kind of trouble. I'm just wondering -- who sent you this poem? I'm rather curious, since I'm mentioned in it also. Did they sign it?

The "From:" line says:
"Kiata Delanan" broken_hurt_fragile[at]thefragile.com

[pure-shite.livejournal.com]

Hmm. That doesn't ring a bell. But then, it could be a bogus account.

Thanks.

oh man!
it brings me back to the old days
when i had a public journal
and used to get hate mail
all the time!!! eeheehee!
yours is more poetic than mine ever was,
even though mine was from supposed
"literary critics" heheheh.

[semisonic.livejournal.com]

wow. they really put a lot of effort into that, didn't they?

[semisonic.livejournal.com]

oh! and what did your mother say about it?

[queerbychoice.livejournal.com]

"I doubt if I would enjoy reading criticism of my daughter and anyway, why give them the publicity?"

[sapphiretrance.livejournal.com]

i remember back in my day when people used to become obsessed with my personality.... those were the days. they even insisted that ran a tight, totalitarian, dictatorial cult that was so airtight that no one inside would dare to criticize me or to confirm that the cult did indeed exist. they wrote whole plays wherein i was the epitome of evil, created religions wherein i was the embodiment of all evil, and wrote long, hopping mad posts where i was compared in intellect to celery.

i really miss those days.

by the power of grayskull!

no i don't know what i mean by that

[jonesyak.livejournal.com]

gayle, i just spent about 15 minutes writing a fabulous poem in defence of your honour, but lj lost it in the posting process. i'm so sorry.

[princesswitch.livejournal.com]

Goddamnit, why won't people write poems about me?!?!

When LL Cool J and Canibus were battling, Canibus said, "I got him to scream my name on his record," in an interview. I think about that sometimes in other contexts. You got this person to scream your name, and that's so cool.

[secretsuntold.livejournal.com]

Is there any merit to these accusations?

[queerbychoice.livejournal.com]

Which ones? Well, let's see. I am definitely not a prostitute; I do call myself queer by choice; I do have two cysts; I am not of the bovine persuasion; I do not believe my face is ugly in the least; I have indeed slept with metacarp, who does possess a penis, and who has after some consideration decided not to have it surgically refashioned into a vulva, but who does not exactly identify as a "man"; and as for the "insecurity" accusation . . . *shrug* . . . that's a subjective description which this person apparently believes or did believe but which I and, as far as I know, everybody on my friends list or who actually knows me at all do not perceive to be true. In fact, it's also rather difficult to imagine why I'd post the poem in the first place if I felt any "insecurity" about its accusations.

And incidentally, the weird people who were hanging around in my journal writing me strange hate poetry seem to have mostly left now anyway, or converted to behaving civilly . . . in my more recent entries you can see that pure_shite has been leaving non-insulting comments lately and seems to have ceased wanting to leave any insulting ones.

Does that answer your question?

Re:

[secretsuntold.livejournal.com]

I don't see why whoever this person is would have left such an insulting and vulgar e-mail for you. How bizarre and uncultured!

Yes, I have seen the trail that this Pure_Shite has left. Very interesting. Very strange.

Yes, it does answer my question, thank you. I was just curious. You seem all right.
