"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."

Back Again

Yes, I'm back. I know I was away for awhile... But quite a bit happened between then and now, so I've got a lot to say.

I turned eighteen last Thursday. Yes, I am officially an adult. :D To celebrate, while we were at States this weekend for DI, a bunch of us went to the casino... Totally worth it. We had an awesome time. :]

Speaking of DI, we took second this weekend at States and bequeathed our spot at Globals to the third-place team [because we can't go...senior week...total BS but we've gotten over it]. We were very excited to do so well, especially when we saw that we took first in IC--something we have definitely spent the past nine years earning.

So I'm excited. But I'm also very, very sad. DI is over. An entire era of my life, gone. It still hasn't hit me--I think it'll sink in sometime in May.

This post is for you guys. For the beautiful DI people who have made me who I am today. I love you all, and thank you for nine years of wonder, amazement, and hilarious fun.

I'll be back soon. The only reason I haven't posted is because I'm in creative writing...a class in which I expel all my creative juices, leaving me inspiration-less at nightfall. I swear, I'll be back more often now.

Have a great spring break--I'll be in Mexico. :D Finally, a chance to relax! :O
