Wow.

People are actually reading my stories. And writing to me to say they liked them. Wow. Just...wow. Other than a few close friends, I haven't ever really let anyone see my fiction, since I don't really think it is great. But I have gotten over 300 hits between the two little fics I posted. That is a lot of people! All reading my stuff! I am torn between wanting to write more, and wanting to hide...

I will probably go with the writing more, since hiding is a bit impractical, and would get boring after the first few days. Thanks Dee, for forcing me to write, and then to post. I had forgotten how much I love doing it, and while I think all those people who think my stuff is good are a bit off in the head, it DOES make me want to find a new plot line to tell. Or to go work on one of the three original projects I have floating around.

On a different note, I just got my new speakers and amp/subwoofer hooked up today. Oh. My. Goodness. These things rock! I didn't know music could sound this good! I am quite enjoying the experience of listening, and even have it on in the background instead of the tv while I am surfing the Internet. And as good as these things sound, Jeff, my client, said that after about 50 hours of break-in time, they will sound even better. I am just so excited! I keep thinking of new things I want to listen to on them!

If anyone is interested, the speakers are a pair of Aperions, and the sub/amb is an iCub, and I am running them off of aperion speaker wires, with the iPod connected via a dock and optical Monster Cable for the actual music. I need to get another cable to hook these puppies up to the TV too. (swoon) It is official, I have succumbed to a new level of geekiness, the depth of which I never thought I would reach.

I'm Not the Only One! Bad Poets Unite!

Ok, so I choose a little different structure for my bad poems, but it is nice to know I'm not the only one jumping at the chance to compose bad poetry.
