Hi,

I'm SJ (actually Sarahjane, but if I told you that you'd start writing odes to me and the rhyme would always be "aeroplane") and am more or less new.

Actually, I've posted occasionally at the old board under a couple of names, but never enough to develop a presence of any sort. But now I'm here, so hello. ~waves~

I'm also 20, which may help account for all the ghastly egotistical first person pronouns in this post (heh, and don't be thinking that any of the rest of you would get away with such blatant ageism :tongue).

I'm currently writing a play, a short story and a novel (doubtless the most frightful pap, as I'll discover when I'm forty).

Kia ora,
SJ

PS. For those who don't know, kia ora is Maaori (ie. Kiwi) for "Hello," "Toodle pip," "Thanks!" and a million other situations. It literally means, "Be well!"

Hi SJ! Welcome to wherever it is we are. I'm still getting my bearings.

Somehow, I think I'd use "...lost refrain..." for that rhyme.

Glad you made it, SJ. And a whopping, happy Maori greeting right back atcha.

I sort of like the idea that in 20 years I'll be enough smarter that I can look back on the words I'm sweating bullets over, now--and realize that they were pap.

Heh.

As long as no one ELSE realizes it, first...

20 Years? I'm lucky if I can go 20 days! :Hammer:

Oh, hi SJ :welcome:

Thanks, everyone!

Paprika, I like "lost refrain"- very poetic! Reminds me of that poem at the end of Louisa May Alcott's Good Wives about the falling summer rain. And Beth's death. Sniff. Ten years since I first read it, and it still makes me weepy. :)
