    Where do you get these things? In emails? On some sie? Do you write them? And if emails, where does the person who sent them to you get them?

    I won't post it here, but I have done all but eleven of those. Actualy I don't get the charity one, so maybe 12?

    "These things?" Lol, I've only done maybe three quizzes on here the entire time I've blogged... but let's see. The first one was from Lora or Sara (I can't remember who I got it from first), and they got it from someone else... one of those continuous pass-it-on things. The second I made up. This one I found on some random website, but I actually edited out most of the stupid/weird questions because it was really long and... weird.

    I did leave in the one about the charities though, mainly because I couldn't quite make heads or tails of it myself.

    Caleb, in answer to your question, I wrote the best poem I've ever written (at least in everyone else's opinion it seems) way back when I was 13. It actually won one of the library's poetry contests a long time ago. Earlier this year or last year when I was working on scholarship stuff I sent it in to this poetry competition in hopes to get a scholarship. I didn't get the scholarship, but it was one of the ones that were published in some book they put out. I didn't buy a copy of the book, though.

    Yeah... if y'all haven't figured it out already, though you actually might not have yet since I haven't shared much of my writing with you, I'm one of those romantic poetic types, hehe. I like to write poetry, but it has come naturally; I rarely do half as good when it's forced.
