"Come to the edge."
"We can't. We're afraid."
"Come to the edge."
"We can't. We will fall!"
"Come to the edge."
And they came.
And he pushed them.
And they flew.

written by Christopher Logue, a British poet, about Guillaume Apollinaire.

You're so vain, you probably think this blog is about you You're so vain, I'll bet you think this blog is about you - Don't you? Don't you?

Things I Will Never Do on DA but sometimes Want to:

- post naked photos of myself (not b/c all of this is trash - i just promised my husband)

- put thumbs in my journal just so I can make fun of how bad they are

- put thumbs in my journal just so I can rage over how insane it is they get so many favs

- talk bad about someone specifically on my blog

- comment on photos i don't like

- post naked photos of children (ever - ever - no matter how artistic i might see them - children should get to make those choices for themselves - and they can't at that age - so you shouldn't make it for them either)

- post ridiculous nudes for attention only

- steal artwork and call it my own

- steal artwork and use it on another site

- call someone a liar about how they obtained the results of their art if i can't prove it

- attack someone's blog because i disagree with their opinion

- fav just because everyone else does

- fav just because my friend did it

- not fav just because everyone else does

- not fav just because i think i can do better (what i can or can't do is irrelevant to how i feel about another person's art)

- worship someone

(trust me - of all of these - i am most tempted to post thumbs that get insane number of favs because the artist has lemmings - it can be downright painful to watch every day - but lemmings are part of internet life )
