Five things that -

Anything goes! Five things you love, five things you hate, five people you admire, five reasons you will never own a pet beaver, five books you'd recommend... pick any or come up with your own.  List them in any order you want, be as specific or general or serious or unserious as you want.

 

Five languages I'd learn if I had time: German, Finnish, Russian, Hungarian, Tagalog.

Five things I like about turtles: they're deliberate, they take their homes with them, they can swim, they know that sometimes you have to hide, they'll eat your salad for you :P

 

Have at it!

Five reasons I'd want to live in my dreams:

1. I can control and alter it as I please

2. Anything can happen

3. I can repeat and redo constantly

4. I could time travel xD

5. Anndddd.... I can sleep the entire time, yet be awake in my dream

 

Five reasons I write poetry:

1. To tell a story in an art-like form

2. Support my friends

3. Let out emotions like anger, stress, or sadness

4. Bring up my mood

5. Keep memories in a way only I will remember. Like a diary with an impossibly awesome lock that only I can read and understand. THAT is the best.

The weirdest words invented:

Kakorhaphiophobia ~ Fear of failure

Bibble ~ To drink often; to eat and/or drink noisily

Jentacular ~ Pertaining to breakfast

Nudiusterian ~ The day before yesterday

Winklepicker ~ Style of shoe or boot in the 1950s with a sharp and long pointed toe
