um, no, that's not my account. that's an australian woman.

and i never told you to "shut up", directly or indirectly. plus, when i do use that phrase, it's only in a joking way, because i'm a poet and i believe very deeply in free speech.

also, i don't do "rants" -- my tone is always even-tempered, and i use reason, not emotion -- plus my inspiration is _not_ "dark", let alone "very dark", let alone "very very dark"... i take myself quite lightly, which is why i fly with angels. so no, i won't be writing any gothic novels any time soon. :+)

now, have a nice day.
