Yay! *Claps* It's beautiful! I love it! Thank you! I'm tempted to say "Do the rest too!" but I fear that would be a lot of work.
Anyway, you did a great job. Yeah, the broken heart was supposed to be in world, symbolizing how Aoko is his world, but I really like what you did with the heart in explodes! It's super cool how it's like the heart exploding, and I love how the mushroom cloud comes out of it. It looks SUPER neat! Thank you again for doing this.
I was thinking of red ink for the roses and stars and hearts around "her", but seeing your interpretation, I like the blue for Aoko. I think it gives it a stronger...I don't know...it just makes it more "Aoko", so I like what you did there!
Really, good job!!!

I was honestly tempted to try, but I'm too scared I might mess it up ^_^"
Perhaps I'll change my mind later on,

Haha. I doubt you'd be able to "mess it up". It's art. You're allowed to take creative license. Besides, I'm not an artist anymore, so I won't be able to do it myself. *Shrugs*

Yup, that was me. It's still really good though ^-^ *is wanting to try her hand at one of the other poems as well . . .*

Dooooo it. I'd do it myself, but...it's been too long. I tried doodling Kaito at work the other day, and it was sad. Sad, sad, sad. So sad. I used to do a really mean Ai/Shiho. Alas, no longer.

Okay! ^-^
You just have to practice more. But hearing about your schedule . . . that probably won't happen for a long time now.

-.- No, unfortunately. I had to pick one art to devote my time to, so I gave up theatre, music, and visual art to work on writing. I can't say that I regret it, but there are days when I wish I could be in a play or play my flute as well as I used to or draw like I used to.
*Is struck with a disturbing thought* What if I gave all that up for naught?! What if I suck at writing?! *Takes a deep breath and calms down because she already knows what you're going to say* Never mind. Ignore me. I'm fine.

You can't do both? Writing and drawing, I mean. :x

*refuses to ignore Mikau and holds her shoulders* Mikau. Calm down. You're fine. You're an amazing writer. Though it IS fun to be in a play and draw (and probably play music, but I haven't had too much experience with that), you've become a really good writer, so I don't think you gave all that up for nothing. ( T.T)\(^.^ )

Alright Mikau, I'm planning on doing the poem that slipped out of Kaito's pocket. Except . . . did that poem ever have a name?

It's almost done. Just need to know what to name the thread

^o^ Thank you so much, Natsumi! That really means a lot to me!
Oh, I never expressly said the name of the poem, but it's "Tainted".
And, sadly, no, Faliara. I've always been a very busy person. I gave up everything but writing the second year of college (my first time through). I had three majors: Japanese, Spanish, and East Asian Studies, I studied abroad in four different countries (during which I had internships teaching English in both Japan and Costa Rica), had a part-time job tutoring Japanese and Spanish when I was State side, was a part of the honors program, and finished my Senior Honors Thesis one year early so that I could spend the rest of my senior year in Japan, so...yeah. I picked writing.
And then after I graduated, I got a job and went back to college to get my paralegal certification. And then I adopted two puppies, got my certification in December, and started working 50 hours a week (including commute) in January of this year. So that's pretty much everything I've been doing since I graduated from high school in 2008.
I reiterate: I'm busy, so, no, unfortunately, I can't do both. I could dabble in both, but if you're really going to excel in something, you have to devote a lot of time to it. So I've devoted myself to becoming a writer. It's just a question of level of dedication. I don't fault other people who do many things, but, for me, I want to be the best I can be at something, and I'm only able to do that in one subject area.

So I have a question before I finish this. Are both "you"s in it the same as the "her", or is it only the first one?
