30: Six Word Story Contest


Have you heard of the amazingly fun contest by SixWordStories? No? Shame! Then you should at least check them out. But if you did, or if you are interested in finding out a bit about it, I dedicate this journal to featuring the three first places! :w00t::w00t! [And you can read all about it HERE too!]

:iconsilver786:
1st Place: Confession by Silver786

2nd Place: Recently at the Bookstore by TaurusJ

:iconripari:
3rd Place:  Eulogy by ripari

:clap::clap:

I love seeing these contests take place, I must admit. It makes me feel that the something in the community is moving and that everybody's having fun.

I, on the other hand, am having tests. And that's not fun. The studying is fun. The tests are ARGH! (yes, that was an ARGH of rage). A lot of my time is being consumed in studying, and I have hardly any time to do dA stuff. And it is annoying, because I love dA. I love you guys. I love this community. I feel like the studies are as a rift between me and dA. Annoying.

But let me tell you what I did do, besides the studying and working of course -

There was a poetry reading in the university entitled - 'Something About Nature' - , and I read two of my poems - Blue Nuns in a Barren Land and The Durra Pipes. I got very good feedback, although I was excited as hell. I am used to reading poetry, if you guys remember the amazing days of Writers-Slam... *nostalgic reminiscing*... But I've never read my poems live, on stage, in front of a crowd. It was a good kind of stressing.

Along with that I've been putting aside the 2nd editing of my novel, in order to clear my mind, and started working on some fragmented poetry. I'll probably share it with you once I have something worthy of sharing.

With my band things are moving nicely, we are still auditioning for bass players, and now looking for a guitar player too. We had a radio interview last week, it was funny. But we are mostly trying to reform the group, so that when the tests are over we will be able to get back to biz.

So things are moving, life is evolving, the world is turning, and my ass is as flat as the chair I sit on for God knows how many hours. Be good boys and girls! And have fun for me! I'm drying out.

- Omri.




Reading is Life

:new:Don Juan - Lord Byron

I haven't laughed like this in a while, well, actually since I've read Chaucer's Canterbury Tales' The Nun's Priest's Tale. Anyway, this is wonderful, simply wonderful. I fell in love. Read.

Enjoy the break, you've certainly earned it!
(Especially after essentially reading the last 6 months of your life as I caught up with journals)

Unfortunately, life does have to come first at times. Including studies.
But know that there's a group of us who are awaiting your return, still adore you despite the sporadic updates and are sending you good luck and thoughts every time we log on in here.
