If you could write like one fiction author, who would it be?
Submitted by Marilyn.

Sylvia Plath. No explanation required.

What is one of your favorite poems?
Submitted by marvel is my pen name.

Tulips by Sylvia Plath. It's extremely long but the beginning is my favorite:

The tulips are too excitable, it is winter here.
Look how white everything is, how quiet, how snowed-in.
I am learning peacefulness, lying by myself quietly
As the light lies on these walls, this bed, these hands.
I am nobody; I have nothing to do with explosions.
I have given my name and my day-clothes up the nurses
And my history to the anesthetist and my body to the surgeons.

If you could have one superpower, what would you choose?

To get drunk faster. Just kidding. I get drunk fast. Actually, I'm drunk right now.

HEY VOX!!!

QOTD: Do you have any tattoos? If not, if you were going to get inked, what would you get?

No. But I would get "I am I am I am" from The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath tattooed (very very very miniscule) down the left side of my torso.  For those who are not familar with the book, it is what she uses to describe the "brag" of her heart beating. It all has to do with the persistance of your heart, of you continuing to live whether you want to or not. She is my source of all inspiration and that quote stays with me daily.
