I'm a happy little heathen
(and people are writing poetry about it)
so deal with it.
Lansky2000, a vile man, is going to hate me now.
YAY!
The write off Heather and I sponsored, "5 things I'd like to change about the world for my children" went off well!
Here are all the participants!

More unending work,
Ever searching; not finding
Life's desired course.
As you can probably guess, I like to write more than just opinions here. I'm currently in college, searching for a major while taking a variety of courses. I've recently finished a poetry course, as well as courses on giving speeches, theatre production, and computer programming. I live at home for a variety of reasons, but look forward to getting my first apartment within the year.
Music, art, theatre,
Writing--the creative life
Brings joy with each dawn.
I came to Epinions for purely monetary reasons. This soon changed, however. I've come to love this little place, despite its many (many, many) flaws. I find it very rewarding personally to be able to share my opinion and know others value it.
In my rather brief time here, I've come across many great writers. These are just a few of my favorites:
- Montepenny has a great sense of humor in his writing--especially in his advice about titles
- Ptiemann, as I'm sure many of you know, not only writes wonderfully but is charming and kind when asked for advice
- Teddiec is, I think, the net's many "pay to..." programs second biggest fan (after me, of course)
- MiniNut is my favorite cosponsor
- 29th_Candidate is entirely too charming for his own good
- And, of course, we mustn't forget all the other wonderful people on my trust list
Creative outlet,
Help others and help yourself--
Gratification.
Although we'd all love to be the nice person always giving high recommendations to everything we read, that isn't always possible. If I've given you a SR or NR, I'm more than willing to help you make your writing better-we were all beginners once, after all, and I know how hard it can be to figure out what people are looking for. If you want my help, please email me with your epinions member name and the URL of the opinion in question. I'll be happy to give you any advice I have.
For a quicker bit of advice, I have a webpage with some hints.
I routinely give SR to rants. I get mad when things don't work too, but 100 words on it won't help anyone here.
Please, everyone, I beg of you--have some email address availible in your profile! I find nothing more disquieting than having some issue to discuss with another member and not being able to privately contact them.
To live and let live:
The soft rhythm of nature
Isn't yours to control.
