When you have written your poem type "Righteous Babe" in your author's comment box to let me know you read the rules. Righteous Babes is Ani's record company. Please put the quote you used in your author's comment box as well... absolutely no rhyme.
The Quotes:

"Yeah, and when I'm approached in a dark alley I don't lift my skirt"
- Talk To Me Now
"I don't really want to be a pretty girl...
I want to be more than a pretty girl"
- Not A Pretty Girl
"I am a poster girl with no poster"
- 32 Flavors
"You are a party and I am a school night"
- School Night
"She built a skyscraper of procrastination"
- School Night
"who's gonna give a shit
who's gonna take the call
when you find out that the road ahead
is painted on a wall"
- So What?
and i'm going to move to canada
and we're going to die of old age
- To The Teeth
"They say goldfish have no memory, I guess their lives are much like mine"
- Little Plastic Castle

any other good ani quotes you can come up with, IM me with your choice if you choose to do your own though so I can accept or reject it. I most likely will accept it but remember you must still put the quote in your author's notes.
Have fun!
