who knew?

(by the way-  if only one half of his face looks decent, you...

endo/exo
i’m glad that i have an endoskeleton and not an exoskeleton.  not only would it just look weird to have a hard shell, but i imagine it would be no fun to sleep that way and so terribly uncomfortable.  oh, and i’d have to constantly worry about punctures.  (in fairness, i have that worry already.) thanks God, big ups on the endoskeleton.

you got scared.
i looked at your little face, and was so proud of you.  i told you twice- go all the way down the hall, then when it stops go right, and that’s how to get to your class.  you’re ready to go alone!  so with a kiss and a smile i sent you off.  i could see the apprehension in your eyes…but you were going to do it.  so you walked… you didn’t know i was watching the whole...

make it easy...
so basically i’ve finally come to terms with the idea of writing my first book. i have all sorts of ideas. those are the easy parts. but i’m so nervous about it all. i just feel like i’m about to embark on this relationship with no guarantees. i’m embarrassed to even reveal my ideas half the time because while in my mind i can picture them and think of how amazing they...
