I hate the way you stare but I love the way you lean!

current mood: groggy
ten things I hate about you
I hate the way you talk to me,
and the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car,
I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots
and the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick,
it even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you're always right,
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh,
even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it when youre not around,
and the fact that you didnt call.
But mostly I hate the way I dont hate you,
not even close
not even a little bit
not even at all.
Confession: I kind of like this poem. (I even kind of like the movie! You gotta love Julia Stiles gyrating on a table to Biggie's Hypnotize. Doesn't get better than that!) My favorite line is "I hate it when you stare." Cause, girls love it when a boy they kinda like/hate stares. I also like this poem because I used to write bad poetry all the time when I was itty-bitty and obsessed. I might have to dig up one of my old notebooks when I go home for the holidays.






One of my frequent customers recently become obsessed with this film and with Heath Ledger. (She then was married to him, albeit briefly, declaring it "over" a week later.) :) Even though she's a little older than your target audience, I totally have to get her to read your book now.
