you have to break a few eggs my failed attempt at being inspired to write like ani... i think it got a C when turned in. i didn't want to revise it because i liked it like it was... oh well. i'm almost embarrassed by it now.

i just typed up some things i found that i'd written when i was 14. i left the spelling mistakes in tact... they are ultra cheesy, but i am always surprised at the things i was thinking about even then...
