I love anything and everything that goes fast, or anything that would worry my mother. I have been dabbling in poetry since my freshman year of high school, nothing serious. It was mostly my cheesy attempts to "woo" girls haha. I had mixed success with this practice. I have recently started to try and get back into it a little. Anywho, if you have any more questions feel free to ask!

Happy to hear you are interested in getting back into poetry. What kind of poetry do you enjoy and what kind do you write? As I tell everyone new person to the site, I know what it's like to be the new kid in class so if you have any questions or if I can be of any help, just let me know; always happy to help a new Souper! ~Chan aka JustThatArchaicPoet edited by JustLivingLies on 11/8/2013

As to the two different names thing, it is all about a dispute between my parents and my grandparents. My grandparents wanted my name to be Ostin, after an ancestor. My parents chose Austin, the more modern version of the name. A little friction was caused by this.
