What's New
(Page updates, and perhaps even a rant or two.)
08-02-03, 9:52 P.M.
I'm quite good at updating regularily, wouldn't you say? Ugh. Ah well. Sorry to say there are no poetic updates to the site at this time, but the Inspiration section has been updated. My inspiration segment, to be exact. Fallon's been exceedingly busy lately, and hasn't had time to sit down and write. I on the other hand, have been writing, but it's nothing I feel good enough about to post... Yet.
A couple very exciting things have happened to me as of late. First off, I've been offered the part of the Queen of Hearts in a play being put on by a well known local community theatre. I've been in one other play at the Lyric Arts, and to go from the very small part I had in that one to the Queen is confidence inspiring for me. I'm certainly up to the challenge of acting like a psychopathic queen with a pension for croquet, and using flamingoes as mallets.
My second thing to mention is much more exciting, on a much different level. From Thursday the 24th to Thursday the 31st (of August), I was able to enjoy the company of my love, Michael. He lives in Pennsylvania, and that week was the first time we'd actually met in person. We were in contact with eachother via the internet and phone quite frequently for three years prior to the meeting. I won't bore you with the many details of the week, but will say that where I doubted our relationship in the past, I doubt no longer. I've never been happier in my almost two decades of life, or more content. There's something about being able to sleep with your arms wrapped around the one you love that is indescribable... and I wish the day that I'll be able to do that again comes very soon.
Soulmates do exist. Search for yours - you won't be dissapointed.
Song of the Night: "When I'm Gone" By 3 Doors Down

Update! Three new poems from myself, and one from Fallon. Enjoy.
04-15-03, 2:37 A.M.
Correction. Fallon has another poem up now. Peace.
04-14-03, 10:15 P.M.
Right. I'm seventeen minus one day. Yes yes, my birthday is indeed on tax day. Here, i'll flesh out your idea of the evils of April fifteenth.
-Titanic sank
-Abe Lincoln died
There. now that day is so much more interesting, isn't it? That's all I really have to say tonight. The status of the poetry hasn't changed since last post. Have a pleasant eve.
Song of the Day: "Orchids" By Stone Sour

I apologize for the lack up updates. Wait, no, I don't. I have no real obligation to this site, since I do this for leisure. Oh well. I now have more poems up than Fallon, as he decided to re-evaluate his previous poems. The ones he remains proud of, or changes to his liking, will appear again, slowly. If you had a favorite that is no longer there, I am sorry, and if you e-mail Fallon, he may send you a copy of it. Maybe. At this point, I wash my hands of it; I only consented to his requests. I'm tired, and I have to get up at seven tomorrow so I can get to my roleplay group on time. 'Night (or morning).
If you think I'm even awake enough to think up a song of the day... you've got another thing coming
("another thing coming"... What a stupid saying..)

...I have added a new poem, called Eternal Love. Don't worry, the skies are not about to come crashing down upon you because of my sudden resurgence of activity around here. I simply found time, and had a brief flash of inspiration and ran with it... Huzzah for me. In actuality, the poem stemmed from something of Fallon's that I read, but it has little to do with that original spark, other than a variation of a key phrase. Heh, thanks Fallon. And mind you, I did ask him if I could take it and run with it, so everything's squared away.
Song of the Day(#2): "Lies" By Evanescence
02-24-03, 12:10 A.M.
I'd like to go on record saying that I am indeed insane. Now, with that out of the way, I'll say something else. My brother, Fallon, is genuinely happy for the first time in a long time. To loosely quote him: "I have a girlfriend that loves me for me, I've never been more sure of my faith, my family loves me..." and so on. In other words, he's happy, which makes me happy, since I won't have to deal with a dark and depressed Fallon for the time being. Praise the Powers that be. As for myself, Michael and I are getting along quite well.
...Alright, enough of my babble. I have school tommorrow, and really should get some sleep. To each his own, in Love and in Light.

Yesterday, I had the urge to update RPInc. I have a theory that it was the thought of Valentine's Day that brought the urge about... But on to other things. Nothing new has been added as of this post; I am only validating that this site has not been abandoned. I've had many other sites, and stopped working on all but this one long, long ago. I checked the hit counter a few days ago, and I've also noticed that someone seems to be using a mac to get here... That makes me terribly curious. Not that I have anything against macs, it's just that the majority of people that I know who have access to this site are non-mac users... Oh well.
Let it be known that I am a lover of role-playing, if it wasn't known already. Fallon is the same way, and we, along with others have been text-based role-playing for well over two years now, at least for myself. Just recently, Fallon and I rolled up our very first Dungeons and Dragons characters, and might I say that despite feeling as if I was fullfilling a "geekly" role with starting my journey into the world of D&D, i've found that not only is the game fun and full of strategy, it is not just a repetetive dungeon crawl where all you do is kill, kill, kill. If any of you have been "turned off" by our playing D&D, and now think of us as geeks, please do turn around and leave, and don't mind the feet kicking you in the ass as you walk out. *innocent smile*
Song of the Day: "Sorrow " By Bad Religion
...And I'll just add this quickly... Daredevil is one of the best movies I have seen since X-Men and both the Lord of the Rings, Fellowship of the Ring, and the Two Towers.
...Do not ask. It's better that you just be happy that this was updated. Fallon has multiple new poems, whereas I personally have only added one. I've also two short stories posted, to Fallon's one. Enjoy.
Alright, one more day of school left. Funny, it never really seems like it's been that long when the time comes. Oh well, when it's over, it's over. I have a little side bonus to look forward to this year as well, beside just being out of school for three months. I knew joining choir and drama would pay off. Both departments have been invited to perform at this year's graduation. It's nice to know that people really do appreciate drama and choir- and like what we do enough to let us perform at an important event. Both choir and drama were at the Mall of America too, to perform at the annual charter school "talent show" thing. It helps to keep in mind that my school has only had choir and drama for two years now. We're still far from perfect, but we've come a long way in a short time to catch up to other charter schools
But hey, what do you really care, eh? I'll stop babbling now. Fallon has a new e-mail address, and you can find it on the "Contact Us" page.

"One Month Later..."
-Inspiration page will be changing soon
-Many, many poems will be put up
-More short stories will appear
-Perhaps a guestbook for the site?
Song of the Day: "Speechless" By Fenix Tx
04-26-02
...Uhhhh.... Whoa, I have a website? I'd forgotten. Dude.
Actually no I didnt forget. I... neglected my website-maker duties. Mostly because FALLON thought it would be a good idea to make my computer go haywire. and the sad thing? I would have been able to reverse the damage, IF my little brother (6 year old) wouldn't have TURNED THE COMPUTER OFF, making the changes final. *Spade sighs* Oh well. I'm over it now. I apoligize to any who have come back multiple times during my forced hiatus to check for new poetry. I've been busy becoming 16, so I've nothing new, but there are many new ones from Fallon being posted as I finish converting and editing them. *spade bows out* I have more work to do. Good eve.
Song of the Day: "I Stand Alone" By Godsmack
02-7-02
Egh.
I know, i've been gone for awhile. You see, first semester at my school ended not too long ago, and I was waiting for my grades to arrive in the mail. I can get really agitated about that. The thought of having horrid grades and having no choice but to show them to my parents scares the hell out of me. So, I am sorry, but I was preoccupied.
Fallon has many, many poems up as of the moment I write this. He's making me look bad. Really though, I go for quality, not quantity.(Not saying that Fallon doesn't do quality work. He just does it... faster.) Anyway, please read them and enjoy them, and return another day to see if there are more from either of us. We're putting the poetry up so you can see it, after all.
Song of the Day: "Another Perfect Day" By American Hi-Fi

**Fallon steps out of the shadows, hood over head, eyes peering out**
"Hello my people, and welcome again to Romantic Poets Inc. More than half of my surviving poetry is up. Enjoy it. My more honest inspiration page is now up also...
Well, I'm not much for addressing a crowd, I just figured i'd let you all know that yes I live. so good bye, good luck, and never give up..."

Song of the Day: "Bullets With Butterfly Wings" By Smashing Pumpkins

MUH HA HA HA HA HA HA! MY PLAN IS COMING INTO FOCUS! Soon, oh so very soon I shall rule the world! And then I--
*Spade stops suddenly and looks around at the people that are staring at her*
...Sorry. I was practicing my speech. It's all part of my plan to take over the world someday. hey, i'm still young, it can happen.
And if you tell me it can't Well, i'll kill you.
*Spade smiles innocently*
Ah yes... If you haven't been able to tell yet, i'm in a rather good mood. Hmm, let's see... I updated the inspiration page, and double-checked the workings of the rest of the site, just to make sure everything ran smoothly. In case you are wondering, the lack of a colorful background, many graphics, etc., is so that the pages load quickly and easily. I've never liked sites with lots of shite on them, anyway. HOWEVER, we may be getting some custom link buttons sometime in the near-ish future. ...As if you cared in the first place.
Oh well. Signing off for the night, see ya.
Song of the Day: "Crawling in the Dark", by Hoobastank
01-27-02
Well, It took me long enough, but I have this place fully operational. I've been up for... Quite a while past my bedtime. Everything has been re-organized, updated, and posted. I must say, it's an amazing relief. Perhaps now the Fallon-God will be happy for a time. Speaking of time, he made me go through all his files and find the dates for when he wrote each poem. What a tedious little job! If I hadn't had to do that, I would have been finished a whole five minutes earlier.
Oh, there is now an Inspiration page. Basically, it outlines where Fallon-God and I get our ideas from. I'll say it right now: we are both sort of pathetic... So be prepared. Oh yes, Fallon-God has changed his e-mail address about 5 times now, and says the one I have posted now will be his permanent one. 50 bucks says he forgets the password and has to make a new one. Any takers? *smiles and winks*
Aighty, i'm tired now, since my sugar-high wore off a few minutes ago.
.....See you later Space Cowboy.
Song of the Day: "The Real Folk Blues" From Cowboy Bebop
(PSST... Check the bottom of this
page for a link to MalignantYouth's stuff... She writes some poetry too.)
01-23-02
Here I am again, for no particular reason. I wrote a poem last night, and figured I might as well post it with my others. Fallon has yet to give me more poems to post for him, and I don't know when he will. Hopefully soon... he has some good stuff that i'd like to see posted. I have other things to do tonight, so i'll end now. As always, remember: Chickens may walk on the shores of the Pacific at midnight, but pigs will always fly at noon. Thank you.*sweet smile*
Song of the Day: "One of a Kind", By BrodiePunk
01-21-02
Whoa, what happened to yesterday? If I drank I would swear I had had a blackout... but I don't drink, so that's out of the question. Seriously though, I took a day off yesterday. Fallon called me his slave... Now isn't that rude? Ah well. To prove him wrong, I shall only update when I actually feel like it. Take THAT, Fallon-God! Muh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...
Speaking of updating, I have four more of my poems up and ready to view. I also installed a counter on the poetry page, for no real reason. Fallon and I are in amazingly good moods, for similar reasons, and my attention span is shortened due to this. Read poems, and enjoy! Peace out.
Song of the Day: "I'm the One", By Descendants
(Don't walk away from me... I SAID
DON'T WALK AWAY DAMMIT!)
01-19-02
Muh ha ha ha ha ha! Fallon now has five of his poems posted here, so mine don't feel so very alone. I still have a few questions for him, but his internet connection and his overall mood have been... Unpredictable. As of right now, he's extremely hyper and happy, but who knows how he'll be in a few hours. And as for his internet connection? Well, it likes to kick him offline. But ah well...
The website is coming along quite nicely if you ask me. Simple, straight-forward, and it doesn't take forever to load. Those are all good things, right? Right. Fallon suggested setting up a forum (or bulletin board, if you prefer to call it that), but I told him that we should wait to see if anyone actually COMES to this site before I find a good forum to use. It's a good thing that he agreed with me, because I wouldn't have added a forum right now anyway. I did add a hit counter though, to keep the Fallon-God appeased. (Fallon, you know it's all in good fun... heh.)
Well I suppose that's all for now...
Song of the Day: "Breathing", By Lifehouse
01-18-02
Okay. Pages now up and running: F.A.Q., The Poems,Short Stories, and Contact The Poets. There are no stories up at this time, and only four of my poems. Fallon had a few problems, and was unable to send me a few of his poems to put up right away... Though there will be some soon. I think that's all for now....
Song of the Day: "Sick Cycle Carousel", By Lifehouse
01-17-02
About a week ago, Fallon approached me with the idea for this website. I thought it was a rather good idea, and, being as he doesn't have access to as many resources as I do, I'm the one that will be in charge of all this.
Apparently.
Oh well, that's perfectly alright with me. Just don't get the idea that I have uber-experiece with this sort of thing. The real reason for the site is so that we, The Romantic Poets, can share our poems - and perhaps some stories as well - with a much larger audience than we have been able to in the past.
I'm a busy person, and I have more work to do, so i'll end with this small note:
All poetry
and stories are copyrighted to either Fallon Alistair or Spade Lasair,
unless specified otherwise. You may use any of our works, as
long as credit is given to us in return.
Thank you.
