Voice Post § 001 § "When the symptoms aren't worse than the cure"

Jan 11, 2009 21:57

*ahem*

So, as some of you have probably figured out, I have... a mild case of OCD related to symmetry. And since there are certain things here that I am powerless to fix like the castle... or that woman's garish outfit... a friend of mine suggested that I write some poetry whenever it got too bad. But... it's not going as well as I would have hoped.

( Read more... )

artistic endeavors, ilu symmetry, kid fails at life, voice post, are you down with ocd?

Door-hinge.

overlysymmetric January 12 2009, 04:11:13 UTC

Ah, thank you~! Your help is much appreciated. Even though... hmmm. How to make that work with this 'theme'...

stoicism January 12 2009, 04:13:18 UTC

Acknowledged.

There are not many words that sound like 'orange'. I am sure you could think of something.

overlysymmetric January 12 2009, 04:15:29 UTC

You are correct, there really aren't... But yes, I'm certain I can make it work if I try hard enough.

magictrucygirl January 12 2009, 04:38:38 UTC

How about lozenge?

overlysymmetric January 12 2009, 04:40:09 UTC

That... could work. Though, the context is spotty...

In any case, I appreciate your input.

magictrucygirl January 12 2009, 04:44:10 UTC

No problem~ Any idea about what you're going to write about?

overlysymmetric January 12 2009, 04:48:16 UTC

Ah... well, I know what I can't write about, and what I am writing about, but as for what I should be writing about... not as such, no. *sigh*

... You should choose a different word than 'orange.'

overlysymmetric January 12 2009, 13:14:41 UTC

Yes, I'm beginning to reach that conclusion myself. There are very few things that sound even remotely like 'orange', and none of them fit.

subsisted January 12 2009, 14:38:29 UTC

Do you mean orange, the color, or orange, the fruit?

overlysymmetric January 12 2009, 22:02:59 UTC

The fruit.

I didn't think you'd be so into it, but that's great.

For subject matter, usually I'd write about the things that are important to me, like friends or school. Or maybe goals.

...I'm not so sure about a rhyme for 'orange,' though.

overlysymmetric January 12 2009, 13:16:58 UTC

...Ah, yes. Well, it was a good idea. And I must say, it is distracting me, so, it works.

Yes, that's... sort of the topic now. Goals, though, that might make a decent poem.

Neither is anyone else, so far. I'm beginning to think there isn't a suitable one.

fearless_tech January 12 2009, 20:16:22 UTC

I'm glad it's helping.

Friends and school, you mean? Writing about goals... they - tend to inspire me. *laughs a little* Soul thinks it's silly, but I think it's a good topic.

I'm sure you'll think of something.

overlysymmetric January 12 2009, 22:05:37 UTC

As am I. It's... hard for me to pull myself out of depression without Liz's help. And she's not here, so I can only imagine how bad it would be if I didn't have something to distract myself with.

Yes, I think it's good to write about goals. It helps you to focus on them.

My suggestion is to find another word that still embraces what you want to convey... either that or use words that end in 'nge'... such as 'challenge'.

overlysymmetric January 12 2009, 13:18:10 UTC

Ah, thank you for your input, Kaname-san. I am currently inclined to agree with you about that.
