Yo everyone, happy winter to you! We got a bit of snow over here, but it melted pretty fast. As of today, I'll be accepting requests for poetry. My skills have been languishing in the jail of formal writing for far too long. Pick from acrostic, haiku, or otherwise. To make it a bit more interesting, you can even pick one word that has to be used in it. Of course, I can refuse the request if I don't like it. Thanks! ^^

Call me Yan or Shadow.
I am a real person with a million friends, a cell phone, and a younger brother.
I am 19 years old with my own car and apartment.
I write for a living and earn just enough to stay alive.
My favorite color is red and my favorite element is fire.
I hate anime and manga specifically.
Guns are the awesomest weapon.

And if you believe anything I just said, you are a total idiot. Thank you. But please do call me Yan or Shadow or consider your tongue chopped off. ^^
Let's start over.
Call me Yan or Shadow.
I am a real person with a few close friends, FINALLY got a cell phone, and an older sister.
I am obviously not telling you my age, and I don't own a car or apartment (yet).
I write as a hobby and wish I did it for a living.
My favorite color is blue and my favorite element is water and ice.
I love certain anime and manga and ignore most of the rest.
Guns are NOT the awesomest weapons. Katana, wakizashi, kodachi, and tanto are.
I am a VERY literate expert who gets 97 percent in spelling in PSATs.
Here begins my poetry...
Cryptic, is it?
Tricked it, not again!
Fixed it? Really?
No? Then tell me when.
I am Hidden in Shadows.
Beware the night, lest you fall into its grasp.
Koryuu save you if you do.
This is the only warning you will recieve
Before plunging to its depths.
Truth is truth, sometimes hidden in lies.
How can you tell before the sunrise?
Run closer to the light, and your shadow gets longer.
Run closer to the dark, and your shadow gets stronger.
Walk in the middle, neither dark nor light.
You are the balance that keeps them eternally separated.
Within the shadows do we walk
Yet not in darkness, nor in light;
We blend with them, though undisguised,
To guard that which is good and right.
Nisshoku! We hide the sun
But do not give the darkness hold.
Between, there is no neutral ground,
Amidst a war of ages old.
Kage Sanpo! Learn our ways-
Stay constantly aware.
Avoid the grasp of total dark
Lest into the abyss you stare.
The elements bend to their will
They masters of the silent kill
The art of just remaining still
Is the way the ninja hunts.
Turning, twisting like a swallow
Through the water, deep and shallow
In the woodland, lush or fallow
Is the way the ninja runs.
A noiseless shadow in the night
Invisible in daytime light
Unseen within enemy sight
Is the way the ninja hides.
A glance, a slash of tempered steel
A hit, yet pain they do not feel
A flash; our foes grim fates they seal
The way the ninja fights.
Cold, resolute, emotionless
Jade glare turning foes defenseless
Final blow not stayed, relentless
Is the way the ninja slays.
Wary, cautious, never resting
Alert, waiting, always testing
Tensely silent, eyes still questing
Is the way the ninja sleeps.
Wisely striking after thought
The war will then be won when fought
Cunning, so they never get caught
The way the ninja thinks.
They know when to run from a fight
They never do abuse their might
The loyal, they protect the right
This is the ninja way.
Thanks to Yamakaze Kuro for profile design!

Perhaps you should try to stick closer to areas near to the Gyms -- I heard some pokemon tend to stay away from them. ^-^
one. No human life has a predestined outcome, thus no
life has any particular purpose what so ever.
Each person is as pointless and meaningless as the
next, with a singular exception. Human are given a
choice. In choosing, one creates their own purpose. In
choosing, one also has no given path, but a number of
possible outcomes.
To say that life has a purpose, is to say that things are
as God planned them up to the very molecule of dust
sitting on the computer screen in front of you.
"Lifes only purpose, is life itself."
Our pasts are what define who we are. Our actions are
what prove what we are willing to do and change.
worth fighting for. But you know what? This is the only
world we have right now. Make the most of this life, not
just to fulfill selfish goals like our ancestors, but to
actually help change the world to a better place.
"When your little, all you really want is for grown-ups
to make the world a safe place where dreams come
true and promises are never broken.
When your little, that doesn't seem like a lot to ask."
i'm sorry if i see that as being unacceptable.
