I did a decent amount of reading throughout my high school career. I read works such as The Odyssey, Romeo & Juliet, The Crucible, October Sky, Beowulf, and others. I read many poems as well but cannot choose any certain ones. I enjoyed most of them , however i was kind of dissappointed in Beowulf, it wasn't as good as i had hoped. The Odyssey was another epic poem that i enjoyed a good bit.
In the four years that i was in high school i had two awesome english teachers and two terrible english teachers. The two that i disliked were very strict and lacked personality. A particular one was Ms. Casey and she used to always tell us that she didn't ever watch television, however it was hard to believe because she loved denzel washington and had a movie poster for a Knights Tale on her wall. I wrote many research papers for novels and short stories as well as argumentative essays. I have never really written anything that i didn't have to write for school. maybe a few rhymes here and there while hanging out with friends, but other than that no.
I have a facebook and get on it once or twice a day, sometimes more depending on if i have nothing to do. I regularly talk to friends through the IM program on facebook. I see this writing more as non-fiction because it is describing things i've done and what i do.

I like the use of Facebook as writing, since most of us communicate in illiterate little snippets of text be it twitter Facebook or text messages, personally I feel that the proliferation of social networking and text messages have made people as a whole much worse at writing.
