And as we stand upon the ledges of our lives

1. Dear monkees_secrets,

You're getting a second chance. Because everyone deserves one. And walking away isn't the answer. I vow to help you be a better comm.

For every negative secret I will make two positive ones.

Yours,

2. The Date: We ended up abandoning bowling for Asian food. Because I was hungry and freezing my ass off. I think he wanted to impress me with his bowling skillz. (I was freezing and he held my hands across the table to warm them. Cute.) He loves "Newsies" (and was surprised I did too) and Nintendo stuff and lives for "Boy Meets World". He's a nice, sweet guy, who I'm sure will be a great friend. But I didn't get any other vibes than that. I got two hugs goodnight and a kiss on the cheek. He called me "beautiful" on several occasions and as a pet name. I said, "I'm not really used to all these compliments. I don't get them alot..." He said, "Well, why not? I mean, look at you!" To which I blushed fiercely apparently and he said, "Sorry but I gotta do this..." then leans forward and pressed his finger to my forehead to watch the spot go white. But I did have a nice time with a new friend.

3. Christmas w/ Aunt Donna and Kristen. I got a really groovy handcrafted necklace from cousin Joy (her son, who is seven, drew my name in my dad's side of the family gift exchange). From Donna/Shannon/Kristen: a cute pair of earrings, a little lotion/body wash/something else/mini loofa package (scent: tropical flowers), and a Blockbuster gift card (25 bucks).

Aaron (me bro) loves to give presents early. Christmas he manages to do this with actually leaving some presents for Xmas morn. So my early gift from him was really cool. He said he and mom tried one and it didn't taste that good, but it looks AWESOME.


I said, "Cool. Herb." and Kristen goes wide eyed looking at the bag, "IS THAT WEED?!"

I love my cousin.
