I wrote another poem at work today. TEll me what you think. Any improvements needed? Is it fine the way it is? Be honest.

Untitled

It has taken it's toll on me,
and I don't know why.
You mean more to me than anything else.
Maybe that is why this is so hard on me,
Because I have never been this close to anybody before.
Not seeing your smile hurts me,
But I know seeing me hurts you too.
I know you are just mad and you want to stay best friends.
Should it be over? I don't want it and I don't think it should.
You brighten my day up and I don't want to lose you.
But I can't give up and I will not give up.

I've been playing the electric guitar for about a year now (my brother taught me) but I've always had trouble with my strumming.. I should use more of my wrist instead of moving my whole forearm up and down. Can someone tell me how to use more of my wrist? Thanks

Took longer to load and fire than it did to produce ...
Had a maximum effective range of 25 feet (8 m), but a true accurate range of only 10 feet (3 m) ...
Cost less than $30 (in today's money) to make, but can fetch about $2500 from a collector today ...
And was probably never used in combat (not even once).

Its a PERFORMING ART ... not a SPORT. Why do people think its a sport? It doesnt have any sport like qualities unless you compete on a dance team.. then i can see it as a sport. But real dancing like performing like i have been doing since i was 4 .. is not a sport. Yeah it takes hard work and stuff but how does that make it a sport? Even my dance teacher said its not a sprt! do explain people that think otherwise..

does anyone els think that the whole sirius and lupin relationship is ridiculus? sorry for those who disagree, but i dont know how anyone could think that. yes, snape said that they fought like an old married couple, but, that was snape who said this, snape didn't know them that well. i mean, what other things did jo rowling say that could give any hint to this at all??? I dont want to make any other fan mad, because im a big fan too, i just dont get this. they were just friends, weren't they???

I just want to write a story for fun, is this a good idea? A girl finds a snakeskin on the ground one day. She loves snakes, so she takes it and puts it in a bag and puts the bag on a shelf. That night, she has a dream that the snake needs his skin so he can make his son the king of snakes when he dies. The snake (the king of snakes) is angry at her, and says if you don't give me back my skin, I will find you and hurt you.

That's it, is it a good idea? If it is, what should happen next?

I am thinking about trying out for Urinetown at a local theater and was wondering what some good roles for women are in the show. I got the soundtrack, but I'm still not that familiar with the story. I have a pretty wide vocal range. What are some fun parts for women to play and a character description would be great too. Thanks! (Also, if you're familiar with both shows which would be better to try out for, Urinetown or Man of La Mancha?)
