wow, that sounds amazing... ...hi Micah! :D *waves*<br /><br />wow, that sounds amazing... but you must have been exhausted! I was completely wiped just from robotics!<br /><br />lol, after watching the match you posted... I realized I don't remember any of that. I don't remember ANY of it. I was there, and right in the middle of it--and it's all a blur. That's really weird. It was so awesomely amazing, though, driving in those elimination matches... <br /><br />And, yes. I think when we communicate just on the Internet, our words are just words--it's hard to imagine them connected to souls and bodies. But when you meet the person whose words you've been reading... it reshapes whatever way you thought of them before, your "preconceived notions or expectations". You have to regauge the way you think about them according to the way they really are. Which is both awkward, and... insightful. It's funny, learning which preconceived notions were right and which were wrong.<br /><br />I'm glad I met you :)<br /><br />That said, I think it was really funny we were in the same division... I mean, coincidence? Really?<br /><br />Atlanta was crazy. Both in competition and out. Do you read CD? If so, (or if not for that matter...) did you hear about the accident next to the Hard Rock cafe? That happened right in front of us as we were walking back to our hotel. SO it's been a little tough trying to readjust to normal life, figuring out how to deal with the trauma. And how to help the others heal. <br /><br />I guess another team was there as well--we never spoke to them about it, or knew that they were there--but they were closer than we were... I wonder how they are.<br /><br />But anyway.<br /><br />I really like your poetry. Your cadence is very structured, very rhythmic, but you break out of it when you need to. The sound of your words complements the meanings beautifully, and your phrasing frames the pictures you write really well. <br /><br />It's interesting to me how you speak of chaos in such order, like life is. I can't figure out if life is chaos cloaked in order or order cloaked in chaos... or if order and chaos are interconnected.the.caitlin.burdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01205318977968102814noreply@blogger.com
