Nothing would prepare me for the last attempt, but we can only hope for the best.
I was born in a small town in Illinois. I have never been one to talk much, so this leaves me with little to say when I "talk about myself". I never think there is that much extremely exciting in my life, so I don't think that many other people would find it interesting. I guess that would explain why I tend to be quiet with people I don't know that well. Yes, I know that is normal, but I am really quiet. Not that I never talk, but I tend to listen more. Which is good, but it tends to lead people to think that I am an extreme snob, which is not really the truth.That is why I like writing. I only have to please myself and there is not anyone to tell you "that poem is wrong". And it is nice to find that someone else thinks it is pretty good, or that they know what I mean, or that it touched them. I used to think that I didn't care what anyone else thought, but I have found the exact opposite is true. Everyone else doesn't care what I think. Just kidding, but sometimes that is what it feels like. Okay that is all for now. I will talk again later. June 11, 2003 6:52am
