What would Hemingway have been like on the Internet?

[Doreen Peri]

Bravo to Jon Stall for some very fine poetry!

[mnaz]

Yeah, he's pretty good!

[Doreen Peri]

Yes, he is. Or was. All depending.

[mnaz]

Wait!
I think I'm distracted again . . . I need to be writing! . . .

[Doreen Peri]

Oh, thanks for reminding me. A man will be taking over the operations of this site soon. He'll let you know when he's in charge. Keep writing!

[mnaz]

Doreen! Don't go! ...

[Doreen Peri]

Doreen! Don't go! ...

Aww.. thanks, Mark. But I think a job this big is better suited for a male.

[mnaz]

I don't know ... Why do I keep hearing PJ Harvey in my head now? . . . "I'm coming up man-size..." I love that song ...

I gotta run, but it's been good. I hope you don't decide to leave.

[one of those jerks]

Hell yeah, we need a real man to take over this site. It worked for brooklyn. maybe the new guy could find a couple or chicas to help him administrate it

sorry don't mind me i need professional help.

i would sorta need some kind of co-firmation of the gender change see because
any great work like these needs near a whole continent to hold the kind of ghosts that would be produced i mean even the contemplations made cause shit to happen into things - bids will need to be submitted & contracts signed and hey while on the subject of bubbly surfaces has anyone suggested the addition of a world war blue room? we could invite submarines over and install shelving on the walls so when we go into crysalis mode we'd have a place to attach ourselves to hang around plus a convienient place to dry our wings upon emerging - and lets not forget to zip our flies or we'll be taken for common wankers if the fire department shows up - if i had it to do all over i'd start out as a terrible embarassment - that way would guarantee things could only get better, right? Nobody is claiming surreality as a causal agent but if you resurface a road with regulation stone & asphalt tar & a second road with surrealism when they are finished & the drying is done they both look so exactly the same not even the experts can tell the difference - keep that in mind - i mean if there is a place of in mind - someone once told me to keep a certain thing in mind - that was a new and amazing notion to me - in mind - so i went looking for this in mind thing as a place to keep all sorts of things - took off all happy & excited with something to do & discover - i spent years, hell, decades in this way - i'm here to report no such place exists - either on the planet or in dreams or anywhere - no out mind either -

PS - Indians drink because they lost everything - white folks drink because they can't find anything

I was just messing with Mark last night. I can't turn this site over to a man. The only men I know are the ones who post here and I've already offered to give the site away to any member who would take it and nobody wanted it. Hah

By the way, even if someone else managed this site, I never said I was going anywhere. I kinda like it here.

Great ramble. mingo! ... Sorry, but I never even considered a gender change. I'm quite happy being a woman (though it's obvious my writing is better when I use a male name). haha

[Arcadia]

wow... Jon S-tall!!!! (beautiful new blue avatar...!!!!!!!!!! ). My ginecologist, my odontologist, my ayurvedic doctor, my voice terapeut & most of my coworkers are female! (the exception is my hairdresser -an uruguayan man with two kids and and a boat-) ... don´t leave us, Doreen... !!!!!!!.

[Doreen Peri]

Jon Stall. Hahaha. You would have thought a man made up that punny name, but no, it was me! too funny.

All my doctors are male except for my shrink. hahahah

Hey, I never said I was going anywhere, Veronica. If I could give away the site for someone else to operate, I'd still stay! I like it here.

Hmm... Maybe Jon Stall could sit in. Sit in. Hahaha. I do amuse myself.

[Doreen Peri]

Oh, and I used to use this avatar long time ago. I think I have about 50 of them. I'd change them all the time, regularly. Just thought it was best to remove the heart avatar for a while.

Where's Hemingway when you really need him? I always liked Ernest. Did you see that Woody Allen movie, "Midnight in Paris"? It's a great flick! All the cool writers are in it. FScott & Zelda. Hemingway. I can't remember all of them. I think I'll find it online and watch it again today. Why not? Having retired early, I can do whatever I want now.
