Happy Birthday..!!

I don't see a male winning this year (so far) none of them have shown much star potential. Other than the 17 year old David Archuleta.. but when he laughed all the time.. it pretty much showed me that he wasn't ready for the career... But anyway... maybe they'll get better.. hopefully the first time I actually watch the show they won't all suck.

Aww.. thanks y'all.

Congratulations!!

So the people have voted. There is no denying that you are the King of Evil Cliffhangers. You're a good writer too.

Congratulations!!! Very well deserved.

Love that song. Now on to - Little Big Town -- "Lonely Enough" Its been a long time since I've prayed Let the words fall where they may Forgive me now for what I'm 'bout to say Tired of bein' on my knees Sick of beggin' you please Since the day you took him away from me God, how much more do I have to hurt How far down do you wanna see me go tell me. God, you don't know the sadness of this place You got the angels and the saints So give me back my love Don't you think I'm lonely enough You got the power in your hands To change the master plan Every star and every grain of sand You keep bringing back the day Just roll the stone away Before there's nothing left of me to say God, how much more do I have to hurt How far down do you wanna see me go tell me. God, you don't know the sadness of this place You got the angels and the saints So give me back my love Don't you think I'm lonely enough God, how much more do I have to hurt How far down do you wanna see me go tell me God, you don't know the sadness of this place... Show me amazing grace And give me back my love Don't you think I'm lonely enough Won't you give me back my love Don't you think I'm lonely enough... Don't you think I'm lonely enough.

Little Big Town - "Lonely Enough." -- The whole Album is probably the best I've heard for a long while.

Lol.. honestly I get the.. "I love you" while having sex some... now if the guy was to stop the act and say that he was serious.. it'd be like an instant cold shower. I mean really.. you can't believe their feelings are sincere when they're getting with it... I'm sorry.

I cannot personally have children, so that forces me to be undecided on the whole idea. I do have it arranged to search for a Surrogate mother to carry my fertilized eggs, but I've been around children all my life - babysitting (practically raising them honestly) so I'm pretty tired. There is still that curiosity though of what my children would look like if I and whoever I married would have a baby. Adopting is something I've thought about doing as well. Two of my brothers and sisters are adopted so I see the appeal there. My oldest sister is taking care of a little boy who's mother is in jail for drug possessions and when she gets out of jail and goes to rehab and all that good stuff she gets the kid back... it's a good program, but I doubt I could do something like that.. as I would think a bad mother would always be a bad mother and when the child is happy.. then put back into a place of stress and neglect.. wouldn't be a good thing. Actually, this is the second time the child has been taken away from the mother and I think it's time for people to see.. that she doesn't care. So.. adopting is something good to do.. if you can afford it. Anyway that was slightly off topic.. lol. I would get a surrogate and permanently adopt though.

I don't think I ever could co-write. It would be interesting, but I just don't think I could pull that off really.. lol. The way I would go about it though - I would think of the story, divide the characters equally to be developed. The story-line should be alternate in the writing process chapter by chapter. I think doing it paragraph by paragraph would become stressful and annoying.. lol. Anyway, the story would have to be interesting to both writers. They should have similar writing styles.. I know my writing style is pretty basic so a person far more advanced than me wouldn't be a good fit.

I still don't know.. we're holding the "serious" gifts for our night out Saturday and since I don't like chocolate he didn't get me anything else - other than the "surprise."

Aww. It's ok to buy you stuff... maybe not wrapped really. You're young dear so no worries you have plenty of time and chances to figure out the dating scene as it's not easy. Krista

Happy Birthday!!!

Aww.. Burger King... yuck. Lol. I'm not celebrating Vday officially until Saturday when David is off work. He said the nurses, doctors, and other staff all had a good laugh at his expense. He wasn't the only victim though so that made him feel better. He said he really liked the gifts, they were a nice surprise and it relieved a lot of stress and tension for him. He had spent most of the morning giving flu shots to little kids and that had him frazzled. Anyway, he said no big surprises next year.. and honestly, I don't know how to top this one.. and it remain G-rated and appropriate.

Happy Birthday!!! Have a good one.

Honestly.. I flirt... that seems odd, but really, if it's too early for me to believe them I don't want to dishearten them by changing the subject or freak out. I definitely don't want to say it back either - if the feelings aren't there. It leads to expectations afterwards and I tend to stay well away from unwanted expectations as all that becomes messy. So, I flirt. So that they see something encouraging, with out me submitting to the words in any way. They may take it as me "feeling the same way," but since it's not said - and really so far I've been lucky and not met a guy to actually force the subject it out of me with countless discussions or questions - then the guy cannot hold the words against himself or me. Anyway, It's easier for me to be flirtatious. It is leading them on, but saying I love you just for the hell of it is a lot more damaging compared to me turning the attention away from the word and returning to a light moment. I guess it's a perk that women have... and I don't recommend it for most people.. lol.. it's just something that I do. We've been desensitized to the word.
