"She's in love, and the world gets blurry
She makes mistakes, and she's in no hurry to grow up
'Cause grownups, they don't understand her
Well it's a big, big world out there, but she's not scared...
She finds hope in the strangest places
She reads her books, and she knows the faces
Of everyone that ever said she's alone
She knows every word to the saddest songs
And she sings along, though her friends all tell her
That she can't sing...
She's eighteen, much too young
To know what a kiss like that would mean
But her lips, they were no stranger to the touch
And she likes it way too much."

Update

The latest updates on my "authoring," my father's return from Japan, and other random shtuff:

The book is now only 400 pages. I put the font back at 12 and went typing-crazy to get myself back to 400... and in the meantime, I rewrote the entire beginning and added vital information throughout the first 50 pages & ending. So technically it's longer, though the page number went down. And I'm finding myself more and more excited about it as time goes on. :D

Today we went to Kinko's and asked for two copies on 3-hole paper. They said they'll be done by tomorrow. I do feel terrible about all the trees that will die for this cause, but not bad enough to stop myself from printing it. If anyone is seriously that concerned about me wasting paper, I'll plant a tree. Or maybe they can. I truly don't care. :)

My father came home from Japan on the 13th, bringing plenty of pictures and souvenirs to keep me busy for awhile. He and my uncle are home and safe. :)

DI has become the most stressful part of my life. Regionals is exactly 2 weeks away, and we're barely beginning to practice. But we always pull through somehow--this time will be no different. I trust those kiddles with this. :)

Oh, and in school... My parenting [ugh] class does those electronic babies, and my weekend is March 16th-18th. Let's just say I'm less than excited. But it will be a learning experience, if nothing else, even if I get less than 10 hours of sleep the entire weekend. Naming my block of plastic and wires will be fun though. :P

Until next time-
Abbs OUT.
