Pretty true... I fear too far in the future though >.<

>.< I'll probably be the person calling 15 years in advance to get a reservation...

You should never fear the future. In fact if you do change will you even change that much if at all?

It's just human nature. You change the most from adolecence into adulthood.

I don't usually like giving feedback either... because as I love harsh feedback (that's useful) I also tend to give it, but as most people will not take harsh comments well, I only do so when asked.
Well, I don't like rhyming so much really. I do use it (as you've seen), but it feels like a crutch. What I meant has more to do with sentence structure...syllables and pauses. When a poem has a "beat" to it, it makes more of an impact. Actually, playing with the tempo of poems is one of my preferred forms.

Up and down on padded feet.
Marching now the cat parade.
Silent silent treading light.
Whispers softly through the town.
Padded paws and whiskers long.
Hunters traveling tonight.
In bright coats,
With feline song.

@ Jethren - true... it is kind of a cheat... though some poems go well with it...
like for example a halloween poem with rhythm gives the morbid setting a playful tone... which... >.>" makes them really creepy...

@ Aco - Hello~!

Yep. Hunting kitties! ='3

Funny. My computer is a hand me down too. Then again, it's usually easier to get one used than new. Especially on a student's budget. Actually...for mine I helped a friend fix his house. How'd you get yours, if I may ask?

A boy band. Once fawned over by teen girls, but now the butt of many jokes about homosexuality. They did actually have a few good songs, which will, I have no doubt, be forgotten by music history.
