Hey guys, Donald here.
In a few weeks, this site will be 9 years old. 9 years! And I still know some of the earliest submissions by heart.
But, boy. That’s like 102 in web-years. So it’s time for something new. I’m building that something now with my nights-and-weekend minutes (and plenty of coffee). Buy me a cup?

Random Poem:
| my friend, george. |
miss_minx
|
now that we're both different | 1 |
since we've grown out of the skins | 2 |
that made us so akin to each other, | 3 |
i confess this once that i indulge | 4 |
sometimes in listening to songs | 5 |
we talk endlessly about | 6 |
at days on end | 7 |
and retreat to that deep cosy place | 8 |
in my head where the old you still lives. | 9 |
its been so long | 10 |
on some visits, | 11 |
the person doesn't quite look or seem like you | 12 |
anymore. | 13 |
| |
on a more polite and not so chummy note; | 14 |
like the conditions between us now, | 15 |
hello, how have you been? | 16 |
do you still have three hobbies | 17 |
you find it hard to keep up with? | 18 |
are you still cryptic from time to time? | 19 |
and do you maybe also have a little dark spot | 20 |
where a not so accurate version | 21 |
of me resides? | 22 |
