definitely, poetry is hard. I'm hoping I can pull of a half-decent sonnet and free-verse. I mean we can always at least make an attempt but to construct them the right way and still have some sophisticated poetic quality will be hard. Yeah, this holiday I'll probably be concentrating more...

eh, I personally reckon Charmed is kinda silly these days (still watch it occasionally though) :rolleyes: plus, Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) is just way too muscley...freaky :uhoh:

I don't know if my teacher is just trying to discourage me or if he's only trying to help me from getting myself into too much trouble. But all he's been doing is continuously (if not passionately) saying that poetry is really hard to do. He even went as far as to say that it's second to film...

I watch Big Brother at the beginning and at the end. Have never bothered with the middle stuff :rolleyes:

Cool :) I've always wanted to do both bungee jumping and sky diving. Anyone know where I can do both? Preferably somewhere in NSW for this moment. :D

oh yeah definitely, theme can be restricting. When I first started on my major work I didn't have any particular theme and personally I couldn't handle it. It was just...too big and I ended up with so many ideas which would take a lifetime to finish. So I gave myself a theme and it helped me...

Your poems have any particular theme? :)

Hmm.. Do you think they (the markers) will appreciate the 'literary value' of "I love you" in the middle of blank page? I mean, if my character is meant to say that then s/he should just say it simple and straightforward right? cut out all the bullcraps and all. Such short sentence, tiny in...

Ah...the good ol' days at school. :D no teachers are taking care of us at tafe ;) definitely more freedom and independence but you gotta miss teachers' interference sometimes... man, I'd rather work like hell on my journals right now rather than attending the actual major work. My brain is...

I'm looking for them too. I think they did publish a book consisting of the best ones. I looked through it in year 11, but it was at my old school. I'm doing year 12 at tafe now and they don't have the book. Local library doesn't have it either. :mad1:

agree :mad1:

How long till Willow's new gf? :D

oh cool, thanks guys. what I would pay to have a 4unit period!! :D we don't have one here at tafe. we have one ext1 period (2 hours) per week. anyway, I'll check out the standards package. :)

ha, I've always been fascinated by cummings' works. I suppose dance poems are hard to find. I'll make sure to let you know if I ever come across one. :) Do you guys put much effort on really studying the poetic techniques, rhythm/metre and all that stuff? yeah, adolescent problems, I...

Amelie, American Beauty, The Virgin Suicides, Life is Beautiful, Fucking Amal (Show Me Love), All About My Mother, Memento, Boys Don't Cry, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, and I can't remember the rest. And I would like to watch The Hours, Far From Heaven and The Quiet American. Someone...

Yeah, mulholland drive is good, but not really a personal favourite. there's something that puts me off this movie...:confused: plus, the lesbian scenes, (from a lesbian perspective :D ) I'm sure they could do better than that! ;)

I'm doing poetry, despite my teacher's blatant doubt on my being able to produce anything of literary value (can't really blame him though...) :D . And hopefully it'll say in that form till the end! Mine's on 'love'. Restraint love, to be exact. I was kinda inspired by W.H. Auden's Lullaby...

I've only just started. 3 pages all of it. But you know what, all these talks about the journal make me realise that so far I've been too focused on researching stuff that I can put on my journal instead of actually starting my damn major work. however stupid that may sound :rolleyes...
