My next goal will be to get published in Children's Letters to Raven Symone, and then in Dumb Comments. Not necessarily in that order.

(Excuse me, I don't remember what it was.) There were a number of similarities between most our descriptions. I remember my description used an exact same phrase also used by the teacher. ... So there's no doubt that these are coincidences. We did an exercise in my high school journalism course in which everyone had to write a small paragraph describing the same thing.

I knew it. I'd like to think I'm not the only one. And yes, I'm intentionally ignoring the illiterate teenagers that post stupid comments after movies like "Prom Night". (I figure they don't care since they probably aren't familiar with most of the other words you use, either.) We are a smart audience! That is why we visit your site.
