Just testing...

Here's some author context for you all, specifically the people who read Halves. To see who's paying attention.

My name's Angela Lovell. I'm a university student and I live in Newport. I have no brothers or sisters. I do have a cat. And a tendency to fall in love with people and get myself into extremely complicated emotional situations. Very muddy

My name is Marcy Brown. And I am currently NOT enrolled in any classes for the time being. And I feel great about that. I am a preschool teacher and I love working with little ones. I have a tendency to shy away from love, and when I do fall in love, I tend to fight it by any means necessary. Very muddy waters indeed.

And I already knew all that about you so I had context when I read the poem. But I will say I thought it was jolly good. I want to know who it's about. I have a guess but I don't know if that person has a cat.

I especially like the repetitiveness of "we are sisters somehow, we are sisters somehow."

Have some Julie Andrews.

Lol, we treat my Lit journal like an AA meeting.

You're probably right, with your guess. But ah, only half! That's why it's called Halves. Hell, I'm finding more double meanings as I go on. Makes me realise just how right we were when we sat petulantly in year 8 English classes, saying "The writer so didn't mean all that - we're just making it up as we go along."

If you want an actual explanation, comment on the other account.

Yay, Julie Andrews! I always divorce her from Mary Poppins, because of the dark hair. I completely didn't make the connection between The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins as a kid. Then again, I saw tSoM like... one and a half times.

You know, you're the second person who didn't think it was Julie Andrews as a kid because of the dark hair/light hair thing. I've seen SoM like 5 million times, because I'm using it as a teaching tool for work. And oh, can I give you Julie Andrews, she's my new obsession. Well I can't give you her, but, pikature.

I know, I totally hijack your school journal. But I wanted you to get comments! You deserve comments.
