They totally got that "never shuts up" portion right, though. I am a talker and I ALWAYS put my thoughts out there.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I'm <B>terza rima</B>, and I talk and smile. Where others lock their rhymes and thoughts away I let mine out, and chatter all the while.I'm rarely on my own - a wasted day Is any day that's spent without a friend,With nothing much to do or hear or say. I like to be with people, and depend On company for being entertained; Which seems a good solution, in the end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225058560254819105.post-17288293348063958762007-05-07T10:18:00.000-04:002007-05-07T10:18:00.000-04:00The quiz says I'm a heroic couplet.

Maybe I might aspire to these things because my mom is very much a heroic couplet type, but I fail. <BR/><BR/>It told me I could be a triolet instead, and that seems much more appropriate.<BR/><BR/>Yours seems fitting though.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03887313952590843057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225058560254819105.post-88928132737311349802007-05-06T23:25:00.000-04:002007-05-06T23:25:00.000-04:00That is pretty.That is pretty.Aureliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691032415028867902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225058560254819105.post-12153875390376670742007-05-06T22:12:00.000-04:002007-05-06T22:12:00.000-04:00Niobe, isn't a=e there?
