My birthday was in January, and I finished a poem that day. As a relatively recently single person, this particular poem was one I had needed to write. Here it is (I use a nom de plume; not my real name):

I realize this may seem wierd to you, but I actually like you. Unlike certain other former members of the (now defunct?) Spotlight Theater Company. I was kind of hoping, if I get to direct Vagina Monologues for OU next year, that I could do it in partnership with STC...that way we could maybe schedule a performance or two off campus...I may do it through the UU anyway...

I didn't know your blog was an LJ, or I'd have sent you an invite sooner...I'm still learning this universe...

I worry quite a bit about offending people. Not because I care about thier offense, most of those I piss off are wrong, if not in thier hearts, then in any logical world. I do tend to spout off online often and loudly (as you know from my offending the robertsons) and express my feelings and their justifications.
