I love poetry and you have a unique style to your writing. I try to write a list for myself, but I fail to put everything because the next minute i come up with something else. The mind is so sidetracked these days! Keep up the good work.

This is a really good list...remind me to make mine soon so I don't forget. I especially love the roadtrips ones and the "move in with Sarah" one. She would be an awesome roommate. We SO need to see Paramore, and maybe bring Sarah along too cuz she likes them now. :)
