When I was a child, I used to set out to write novels. None of which ever got past a couple pages before I was on to some different (not so different than what I do today, I suppose). I also wrote poetry that was sappy and silly and never any good. It was mostly love poetry. It was mostly love poetry to a boy I liked in seventh/eighth grade. Please don't judge me by this writing. I like to think I've grown and improved and am a little less sappy. Maybe not, but I can hope. Here is a chronical of some of the most meaningful (i.e. all the I could find) writing of my youth.

Baby Book
This was the start to my first novel. I think I wrote it around kindergarten, or whenever it is that kids can write. Alas, I had a short attention span and a big TV, and the novel may forever remain unfinished.
• On The Sandy Shore of Cherryblossum Lake

Genious
This was my first stroke of genious story. It got me a gold star and hung in the hallway of school across from the principal's office. Despite all this, turkey is still one of my favorite foods.
• Why You Should Be a Vegetarian

Misinterpreted
So, this is the first, and only one remaining in my possesion, of vignets of death I wrote in seventh grade. I lost some good ones because someone stole them and gave them to the guidance counselor, who called me in and called my parent because they thought I was going to kill myself or something. But they were just stories, and reading now, not very good ones at that.
• Suicide Note

Weird Stuff
OK, so this is really weird stuff I've written throughout my life.
• Ode To Bobbit
• Ode To Tonya
• My Room
• Barbie - I wrote this for and performed it at my high school's "Poetry Dunks." Aphoto of my reading it was featured in an article the local paper wrote about the event.
• The Penis Monologue

Old-School Poetry
This is a section of old poetry (remember it's old ) most of which were love poems written for a certain special someone. I guess I've always been stupid and sappy
