Spoken Word.

My favorite class this year has been Creative Writing without a doubt. I have learned many interesting things I can do with writing I never would have thought of. Now we are getting into a new topic called spoken word. Let me tell you this, I am more nervous than ever for it.

To start out let me explain spoken word. It's intense. Like poetry reading with a kick. YouTube it ;)
The easiest thing to speak on is yourself. To start off the teacher had us write a list of things about ourselves. Interesting things of course. To be honest it wasn't very hard. I have lots of strange little quirks; however, I feel the most interesting things about me are the things I hardly tell anyone. Not because they are bad, I just don't tell people all about myself all the time.

So what should I do. Write it really interesting, and finally get out of my shell? Or keep it simple. After all it is only an assignment.

Hmm I don't know if I could make a list of myself either lol. I am not the most normal person in my group (and my group is considered strange). But I would say tell it like it is and if they don't like it they aren't worth your time

Quirky, there we go ;) That's you. I guess it depends on what you feel most comfortable with. I personally am very private and self conscious, so I'd keep it very simple and impersonal....but that's just me.
