"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."

I'm Ridiculously Proud of Myself :D

I gave blood for the first time today! :] :]

Of course, I did pass out twice--first time right after the donation, second time in my sixth hour class--but it was worth it.

I saved three lives. Me, insignificant little Abby, saved three people. I also repaid the debt I owe to the blood bank [I've been a receiver]. This is something I've wanted to do ever since I knew the opportunity existed, and I'm proud to say I did it.

Will I do it again? Probably not for awhile. I feel like crap. But inside my head--where the physical aches and pains can't reach me--I am soaring.

I gave blood. I saved lives. I, Abigail Morgan, am someone to be proud of.
