Bookeaters discussion

Thanks to odd inspiration, we're gonna do a group poem.

Here's the premise we've come up with, which can be modified based on everyone's ideas.

Personifications of human emotions are at a party. The way I see it, each person in the group poem (if we all participate, there will be a nice handful) will represent an emotion.

The first thing we need to figure out is which emotions we want to portray and who will be "responsible" for each voice.

I call dips on being the wallflower, that isn't cool and only got invited because of a very exuberant friend.

Which emotion would be a wallflower? Who would be the friend?

I'm almost thinking of this like a modern version of Pandora's box in some respects.

The wallflower would probably be shy and reluctant. I have no idea about the friend though, unless someone else wants to take him/her? I probably only reference them a bit...

Duuuuuuuuude I'm so glad we're doing this let's divvy up the emotions then

HELLO, CHILDREN. I AM SO READY FOR THIS.

yeah, dunno why that was in caps. sorry.

OKAY ROLL CALL TIME WHO'S DOING WHAT

First question. Who's doing? XD

I think we have myself, Sam, Emily, and Saru…and Alina?

I call anger. I think. Unless someone wants it or has a better idea for me.

Yeah, I'm totally in for this.

Should we make a list of emotions? I sort of want to do anxiety.

Is anxiety really an emotion, though? I feel like it's just a subset of fear.

it's an emotion.

I can do fear and branch out on anxiety. Like it's its cousin or something.

Sounds good.

If nobody wants to take hope, I will. Anyone else want anger?

Saru hasn't even posted yet here... She might take anger.
Is mine okay? Being the shy and timid one?

To be honest with you guys, I never done anything like this, so what exactly are we going to do? Write our own little pieces and post them all together? Or is it going to be a discussion thread and we have conversations with each other in our emotion point of view?

What do you think, Taylor? We're writing poetry, but I don't know in what form.

I think the latter might be the best way to draft this. That's how I wrote other group pieces. We just spoke up when it felt right, and then it came together as a rough draft.

@Alina

How about you take hope as your emotion. I think she'd be very lonely at a party, wouldn't you?

I'll right, I'll take hope. And yeah, I think she'd be pretty lonely.

This is a good idea. Regret/guilt is an emotion, right? I'd take that.

In my opinion, yes. Now we just need Saru to pick one, and Sam. XD I think we need to do a roll call.

@Sev

Are you going to help us?? YAYYYYYY!!!!

:D I'm totally excited for this!

Awesome Jude! What emotion do you want to do?

We should like, still do this. Even if it's mostly just Taylor, Sam, and I...

*forgot*

It was my idea :P

Well, alright. Taylor, Sam, Hayden, and I... :P

For some reason I forgot that you came on more often then Saru, Sev, and Jude. And I haven't heard from Dana in forever.

HEHE I don't know how to explain where i've been lol

Holaaaa everyone

Hayden, Saru isn't here yet (right?)

Nor is Sev.

True.

Can we take a moment to appreciate that I was the first person to call her Sev? XD

Yes, yes we can. Thank you by the way, for her full screen name is too long to type. :P

I think she introduced herself to me as sev...?

Oh dang, there is no Saru.

Well, there is. Somewhere. XD

Yeah, somewhere, though she isn't currently locked into the Goodreads spectrum. :P

SARU IS HERE WAY, WAY TOO LATE, TO RESURRECT THIS THREAD AND KEEP THIS IDEA ALIVE.

Sorry guys. I'm on mobile like, 99% of the time, so I never see when new threads get posted.

And I'm trying to write poetry for a big poetry performance in two weeks, so I'm totally not focused on this, lol.

OOHH cool! I'd love to read it when you finish. Also you should PM me about what's up because I suck at being on GR and haven't talked to you in a while.

Saru, seriously girl, you need to stop being on mobile or something. Its getting in the way of you talking to us.

see, saru, this is why you should get a facebook.

No, no she shouldn't! Because then I won't be able to talk to her! :P

she can have both.

She could, but I have a feeling facebook will replace goodreads. Or I'll have to get a Facebook....
