Well I certainly wasn’t one of them. You ‘topped’ me like no tomorrow this last Saturday ::happy smile::

I sure hope you get lots of prezzies CeCe, you sure do deserve the best birthday EVER!

“I shoulda been born a gay male dancer with a fabulous tenor voice”

::Glares at Celina:: No, you are the most absolute perfect girlie girl EVER! In some cases the grass is not greener on the other side. If I had one request it would be that you lived down the street but you probably get that request lots!

“I’m over school”

I’m trying to picture you as Alice Cooper and it’s not working.

“I really don’t care what x and y are.”

Well you gosh darned sure as heck WILL when both the pilot and to copilot are knocked out and you’ve sealed yourself off in the cockpit to keep from being groped by that dweeb in 27A and you’ve accidentally spilled tea all over the autopilot and the stupid tower is blabbing about assuming a decent vector of .5Y= 3X(squared). Let me tell ya that right now!

You’ll rue the day … RUE IT I SAY!

Look, you’re too damned smart NOT to get over educated, and yes I have (counts fingers) a lot of degrees, probably two too many but that’s not the point. If you don’t go to school you’re going to have to make yourself write and write a lot – four to six hours a day. I think you can do that but just like math, etc. you’re going to have to MAKE yourself do it. No one else can. Plus you’ll get the added bonus of your folks dropping major hints about how you’re living your life and blah blah blah blah.

All I’m saying is think it through – which I’m sure you will.

“Cassandra Wilson’s version of Cyndi Lauper’s classic Time After Time”

It is quite lovely! I’m so glad a close friend of mine pointed it out!

“No promises, ok? But I’ll try to write more often. I really will try.”

You BETTER write more often. Your diary here is such a joy to read!
