I use to be dead, but now I'm alive.
+Christian+
+Vegetarian (would be vegan if I could convince my parents it was healthy)+
+Straightedge+
I didn't take up Christianity until early August of 2006 (two months ago), so don't be suprised when you read and find out all of my old writing is very ungodly (and most of it is extremely ill-writen). However, with my new stuff, I hope I can write something that can touch someone's "aesthetical-attraction nerves" (yes, I just made that up) without it seeming like I'm shoving religion down someone's throat.
Have fun!
"Poetry is in all its shapes the language of the imagination and the passions, of fancy and will. Nothing, therefore, can be more absurd than the outcry which has been sometimes raised by frigid and pedantic critics, for reducing the language of poetry to the standard of common sense and reason: for the end and use of poetry, 'both at the first and now, was and is to hold the mirror up to nature', seen through the medium of passion and imagination, not divested of that medium by means of literal truth or abstract reason."
(William Hazlitt: "Lectures on the English Poets 1815-17")
