Damn but you have a nice voice.

ANYWAY, since you played FAST AND LOOSE with your little POEM (Where was the 'and' before "Renting from friends?" When you just SKIP words you don't have poetry, you have ANARCHY! ANARCHY! And now it's back! So it is VERY CONFUSING. I may be deluded.) I thought I would THROW A SUGGESTION AT YOUR HEAD.

You showed up in that buddha tee shirt again
And that shit eating grin
that kills me
Because you think you're so smart

I think it creates a BETTER VERBAL FLOW and a POSSIBLE DOUBLE MEANING.

Also you should post more voice poetry because it is AWESOME and you are AWESOME AT POETRY and AWESOME AT READING POETRY and have a GREAT FUCKING VOICE. Like a RADIO VOICE or a RECORDING ARTIST VOICE or a CARNEGIE HALL READING VOICE and you should SHARE THE GIFT OF YOUR VOICE or I will ANNOY YOU WITH CAPS!

Ok, sorry, this is the 4th time I'm posting this because I kept messing something up. Sorry, I'm a bit of a perfectionist.

First of all, that doesn't even SOUND like you to me! I had to really listen to hear parts I recognized. Second of all, and this can go unanswered if you wish, but is this autobiographical? I just say it based off some of your past entries. It's a really great poem, I like it.

Also, no calls today. Sort of a double edged sword, I guess....

I'm not sure how to explain what happens to my voice or my personality or my demeanor when I read my shit, but it changes, and I like it.

and oh, yeah, this is completely autobiographical. sort of a bitter, angry, comical, paranoid, painfully silly look at me from the worst perespective. I put on my buddha tee shirt today and grinned and thought of this.

it's hard to sit and wait and get nothing ... but better than panty man. I am on call for advocacy from 6am-12 tomorrow, and I hope it's quiet.

[echo-star16.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I totally like your voice too. Hot. ;)

The poem is awesome but you should be nicer to yourself!!! I know that sounds cheesy but it makes me sad to think about all that being directed at you.

And hell yeah, better silence than panties man. Good luck tomorrow.

I think this is a really positive upbeat poem. It's about exposing ridiculous criticisms for what they are. It's about hypocracy.

I see it as a sort of poetic version of Stephen Colbert. It's wry and funny.

[mazzie.livejournal.com]

it is meant to be upbeat, but the criticizms are purely my own invention, which makes it kind pathetic. but in a fun way!

[socratic.livejournal.com]

The criticisms are not purely your own invention, they are all too often the attitude of society. "What? A woman, trying to THINK? Being her own PERSON? BURN HER! BURN THE WITCH!"

When even Salon.com is publishing articles in praise of Paris Fucking Hilton, well, voices of sanity are quite necessary.

Thank you for reading it aloud, gave it a difference essence entirely... *soft smile*

Your voice is so hot and sweet. But I am really hurt that you call yourself "single." I thought we were engaged?

To get even, I have posted this with the icon of my other girlfriend, Monique. (Her voice is not so pleasing. In fact, she never speaks at all. Sullen bitch.)

[mazzie.livejournal.com]

oh, damn damn damn how could I forget about the engagement so quickly?

what a mess you've got for girlfriends. sullen and absentminded. your wife will not be impressed, to be sure.

damn that monique. so statuesque in her silence.

Very good reading!

I hope you read all your future poems aloud, too.

[mazzie.livejournal.com]

thank you, dear.
be careful what you wish for. you may never shut me up.

Hey, I think you're Mazzie the Great! Read away!

you made me get a blog!

[meval.livejournal.com]

Great to hear your voice first thing in the morning. Do more readings.

Isn't she awesome?

I forgot I turned off anonymous posting ... it's actually aarhead's fault, but you'll have to wait for him to get back from vacation to yell at him.

great picture! you look just like my mom! :)

love you love you love you!

[azbound.livejournal.com]

Wow.

I mean it.

The whole tone of the poem changed by your voice and inflections.

XOXOXO

And.
Your voice.
Is lovely.

I guess I just imagined something earthier, maybe even a little grittier (must be all that talk of whisky).

Instead, it was light, and engaging, and just simply lovely.

And there was something I realized I have no experience with, and I wonder if, when I finally get around to voice-posting, if I will sound as Midwestern, as you sound- what I can only assume is- East Coast.
