looking a little odd in places

If you can make it to the end of this, there's cookies.

1) Henry Wordsworth Longfellow was a great American poet who also wrote a cute little poem:

"There was a little girl who had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead. When she was good, she was very very good, but when she was bad, she was horrid."

My father told me that poem a hundred times when I was little. I knew it was because I was his curly haired daughter, and he loved quoting the poets he loved.

2) About 9 months into my quit, I wrote an odd litte post that was a play on Longfellow's words:

"When I quit, I was very very quit, but when I was quit, I was happy. Don’t try, do."

Yes. I hoped someone would get the reference. Lucky I didn't expect it though, because no one did. To press the "publish" button on a post like that is a very selfish act. I posted that one for my own quit's sake.

3) There's not one person here who can give you their quit. Mine is going to look a little odd in places, but it suits me fine. I like to look at the quits of everyone here. I like examining the details, the thread count, the washing instructions. Then I lay it back down and wrap my own quit around me. You can use this site to do that, too.
