          really "experience" writing prose I guess, but It is certainly something 
          I have done - reams of poor, poor poems from the broken high school 
          heart, that kind of thing. The other extracurricular thing that I do, 
          however, is sing, and I write the lyrics for the band, which I guess 
          counts. you can check the stuff out over at MP3.com actually we're called
