miscomprehended.

feeling the need to exercise the creativity sectors of my writing brain, i recently created this blogspot as a way to propell my perambulating tendencies and to vent my frustrations at a blank canvas (metaphoric) rather than at tangible human beings.

so, motivated by a stirring of fashionista-cum-contemplative spirit (related to shoes and a sense of self), i logged on to my blogspot... only to find that it was locked!

"this blog is under review due to possible blogger terms of service violations, and is currently unpublished. you can view your blog's posts here in blogger, but not make any changes."

shocked and a little horrified, i promptly clicked open the terms of service to review my rights and limitations. skimming... nope, nothing wrong there.

after all, all i had posted within the first two days of creating my humble little account were a poem and a short

granted, i appeal liberally to poetic license, but it's like they say: the novice writers are obsessed with words and word play and word experimentation. a la joyce.

(at the ripe(?) age of 23, i say i have every right to declare myself the novice. i am still the inner child, delicately placing marble words in her mouth, delighted by the way these delectable round glass orbs roll around her tongue, her mouth, grating against each other with satisfying intensity.)

there was a "contact blogger support" button on the home page, so i quickly browsed over to that page and requested "human review." something about mine having the characteristics of a spam blog. hm, need a definition for that... *click*

whereupon, i discovered the following:

"blogs engaged in this behavior are called spam blogs, and can be recognized by their irrelevant, repetitive, or nonsensical text, along with a large number of links, usually all pointing to a single site."

...apparently, my writing is "irrelevant, repetitive, or nonsensical".

as an "artiste," i feel so... miscomprehended. what a "no one understands my art" moment!

(note: it's been nearly 3 weeks since my blog was first locked, and this is the first time i'm posting since march 21!)
