OH YES WAY

[topher_marlowe]

Ok, seriously.

I didn't ask to grow up next door to him. I didn't ask for him to be a bleeding good writer with his stuff read out loud by every stupid sodding teacher since grade school. NO, IT'S NOT.

He's done a lot more to me, too.

In seventh form he STOLE ALL MY COMIC BOOKS He said he needed them for inspiration. Bollocks he did, he

He got what was coming to him for stealing your comics if you ask me, though I don't normally believe in letting someone else take my revenge for me. Instead of calling the cops you could have taken his photo in flagrante delicto and then used it as blackmail. But whatever. Serves him right. I hate stoners.

You don't happen to write poetry, do you?

[topher_marlowe]

It's so much easier to pick up the phone though. But I'll keep a camera ready. You would not BELIEVE what goes on over there.

And sure, I write poetry. Much better than he does.

A little excitable, aren't we, Christopher? Anyway, I can't really blame you. Sounds like a greatly satisfying time... though I do agree with Emily, that you should have blackmailed him. Blackmail can do wonders.

(Hmm, Bill's not that bad-looking a chap. If you give me ten days and bring a camera, I can probably provide you with some blackmail... if you know what I mean.)

[topher_marlowe]

Thanks, but I don't need to burn my eyeballs out looking at that. I appreciate it though, really.

[bysshelley]

Are you saying I'm not pretty, Christopher? I'm wounded!

[topher_marlowe]

No, I'm saying that at all! ARGH

[will_wordsworth]

Christopher, you simply have to stop living in someone else's shadow and be proud of what you do.

How was that for some after school television show advice?

[topher_marlowe]

How can I be proud of what I do when HE'S BETTER AT IT!!! Well, he's nowhere near as good as I am, really, it's just that he gets all the credit.

[will_wordsworth]

Because like a flower to blush unseen, wasting away in the desert air...

I thought if I quoted some fancy poetry it would help with my reply. But it didn't. So I'm just going to say stop worrying about who gets credit for what and do something that'll stand out in people's minds.

I should clarify. Do something as in write one hell of a poem or short story or play. Not do something as in run naked down the street in the middle of the day.

[topher_marlowe]

Did you know that you rhyme even when you're not trying? It's really creepy.

[jim_uncooped]

Me too.
