Short Assignment #3 part 2
February Fifth Two Thousand and Seven
I think using repletion of words helps to get my point across. A lot of my favorite pieces of word use repetition. Why does everything have to sound like a poem?

What’s with the whole “let’s not tell Dani what’s going on” cause OMG I love surpirese so much! This is the second time someone has known she’s in town and not told me. WTF!
