Do you consider this poetry?

[sovay]

I aten't dead. I am not, however, sleeping very much, which makes me about as communicative. Possibly less so, depending on the haunting.

That said: announcement!

Strange Horizons is looking for proofreaders, webmasters, and editors.

That last includes poetry. Deadline is June 10th. Spread the word.

And I expect to recognize some of the names on those applications . . .

Oh. That's very tempting.

Hell. I hope sleep finds you.

(Unrelated to this entry but the last, as f-locked posts are always a problem on mobile lj; I scrabbled around for a title, but couldn't come up with anything decent.)

Oh God, can't you just tell yourself about me? I won't be able to fill in the application until Friday.

We have ways of making the dead talk. *film secret agent eyebrows*

Dude - I can't make the dead talk, but your books turned up yesterday - the one highlight of an otherwise utterly shitty afternoon.

[strange-selkie.livejournal.com]

Hooray! I hope you enjoy them. Um, as much as you can given that one is really, really a downer. :) Thank you for reading.

[thunderpigeon.livejournal.com]

That certainly does sound compelling.

I'm very glad you aten't, but I'm sorry you're not sleeping.

I hope some sleep finds you soon.

[schreibergasse.livejournal.com]

I hope you sleep.

[sovay]

Oh. That's very tempting.

Worst that happens is somebody says no . . .

I hope sleep finds you.

It sort of did. I had dreams weird enough I've spent all afternoon trying to turn one into a poem.

(I appreciate the thought. Poems that don't come with titles are always difficult for me to name.)

[edit] It seems to have named itself "Double Business," which I can't believe I didn't think of the first time around. I used it in the post title!

Dude, Friday is still May. You're good.

*film secret agent eyebrows*

Aw.

They work, too.

[sovay]

*sending sleep in an attractive box with books, comfortable pillows and a machine that makes a soothing noise*

Dude. That's serious kit. Appreciated.

[sovay]

That certainly does sound compelling.

Give it a try!

[sovay]

I hope some sleep finds you soon.

Thanks. It will have to eventually.

[sovay]

I hope you sleep.

Appreciated.

How are you on that front?

[thunderpigeon.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I think I will.

Oh, and I hope you get some sleep soon. My wife suffers from chronic insomnia, so I have some idea of what that's like.

[ashlyme.livejournal.com]

Glad you found the title; by the way, I got one for that un-named five-liner in the end: "After Oracles", which you and selidor sparked off. Cheers, both.

Oh, if only I hadn't just started school. There might come a time when it doesn't take all my mental spoons to keep up with my classes, but I predict that time will be at least a year from now. Though maybe SH will be looking for editors again by the time I have the spoons....

It's only an intensive job when your month comes around . . .
