Title of Show

Have I ever told you how much I hate titles? Cause I do.
I don't like writing them and I don't like analyzing their meaning or hypothesizing what the theme of the poem will be from reading those few short words. Ya know, I wouldn't mind writing essays and papers half so much if they didn't make you put a darned title at the top. And most teachers will insist that it be more than "Reaction Paper #2", but I just can't be creative under pressure like that - so I tend to just follow a similar pattern each time which is [One Word Theme: Descriptive Phrase]. All essays in high school followed this pattern, producing such gems as "Honour: Restoring Certainty in Relationships" and "Tolerance: Learning to Appreciate Opposing Views". I tried to get creative this year for a paper I wrote and came up with "A Contemplation in Regurgitation" - it kind of has a nice ring, right?

Anyways, what I'm getting to (whilst trying to tie it into school so that I can post it on my college blog) is that you should all be really appreciative of the awesome titles of my blog posts. Cause they're cool. And they take me a really long time to think of and/or search for.

And yes, Julie, the last one was from Altar Boyz.
