    FYI, I asked the mods to lock this thread on December 6th so we can start "Year 2" on a different thread. They didn't confirm they will do it, but we'll see.

    I always look forward to the New Year, whether it's Jan 1 or the new school year or anything new year-ish. This is exciting! Think of the potential. I plan to reread my haiku books to get back on track. This will be great, Fins! What are you crying for?

    You keep all of your old tests/exams/papers, don't you? ;)

    Man, you are really old, so old you're ancient, like a tree . . . wait a second I'm older than you.

    You're just a kid, Fins. Probably a little punker, aren't you?

    ohmygod! You're a baby! 14, 14 that was so long ago. Thank God it's over, yuck. 13 sucked more than 14 though, so at least you're past that garbage.

    For my age Im not very clever acedemically, but all round I'm fairly clever, and I'm pretty mature, especially in my music taste, not many 14 year olds like Ben Harper, and its not a family influence either.

    Lucikly I had older siblings so I had access to contemporary music before others, possibly. Let's get back to haiku, eh?
