*sings* "I feel pretty! Oh so pretty!..." LOL

Ouch! Those nettles really can hurt. Neosporin makes them heal really fast.

I would forget Ugly Betty and think of the actress who plays the character. She is beautiful. So, think of yourself as beautiful as beauty goes all the way to your soul.

I suppose money has something to do with it, but he's mostly concerned about me expressing my talents. He said I'm "burrowing in on myself," which I'm most certainly not, as you can see in this topic. I guess that's okay to be concerned about, but I don't understand why. I play in the concert band, I ask questions in class even if they turn out to be stupid, I show you guys some of my work, I have my composed music shared on iTunes for my family to listen to as long as I have it open...and I don't even know what direction to go in yet. I know things will be different in college and there I will be more expressive, especially out from under my parents' shadow. I think you are a really intelligent and focused individual. You will do well in school and I am sure when you have the ability to make your own choices without someone looking over your shoulder every minute, you will find exactly what you want and will excel at it. Agreed. And also remember that you can't do everything at once. Sometimes some talents need to take a back seat so you can focus on other ones. If you try to focus on too many things at the same time, you're going to wear yourself out, and then no one's happy. And yes, once you're in college, it will be easier to be more expressive, as long as you don't worry too much over what other people think. Some people will think you're strange, yes, but there will be some people that think you're awesome too. Jesusfreak has an excellent point. As you are planning on concert band, if you decide you don't like marching band, then quit. Pick the areas you like and then pursue them.

Then this is the best career for you!!! Haha, nice. XD Exactly the reason I chose the profession I did! LOL Sounds like fun then. XD The other reason I chose the profession. LOL Yeah, I'm planning on choosing a fun profession. =D Airline pilot is definitely one to add to your list! LOL My friend Hannah was telling me about her neighbor who was a flight attendant and how she has a lot of stories from that. Flight attendants have a much harder job. They have all the customers to deal with. Pilots just go up front behind the locked door. LOL This is true, but the flight attendants get to move around and talk to more than just a couple of people. XD Very true. I know a lot of flight attendants who really love their jobs. Interesting, I have not heard too many flight attendants say they don't like their jobs.

:o :o Oh my.

And now you have no argument when they text you too much!

She would kill you???? Why????? SHES BIG AND SHES A KILLING LIZARD! lol How big? And why would she kill a human?

I had a visitor outside my cage. Here she is!

I kind of prefer you without the make-up! LOL Definitely look more handsome without make-up.

She would kill you???? Why?????

Two things I have to say about this... one, you as the driver of the vehicle can require all your passengers to put on their seatbelts, or else they don't ride in your car. And two, yeah for Texas that they don't totally dictate what happens in your car. The state is placing the responsibility on the driver of the car. Yeah for that!!! So, it really does not matter what the state laws are, it is your choice as the driver of the car if you want people going without seatbelts in the back seat. You make the rules. True, its really stupid not to do that, but I just think its hilarious that Texas doesnt care about it that much. XD In my post on seatbelts a while back, I was saying that Florida does not care about people in the back of pick-up trucks, but the will dictate what someone inside the car should do. This does not make any sense to me. Pretty soon in Florida, they will make a law that when you drive you must wear sunglasses or other protective eye devices, because we just had a pedestrian hit and the driver said they could not see the pedestrian because the sun was in their eyes. This is the "it's not my fault" defense.

I'm sure he does. I wouldn't be too sure about that. Apparently, most guys are completely oblivious to things like that unless you tell them flat out. Listen to Jesusfreak. She has more insight than an old hamster who is a guy! LOL Well maybe guy hamsters notice these things, but apparently human guys don't. Or so I've been told. No... I think you are definitely correct on this one! LOL

:wub: It sounds like you are in a relationship with a really wonderful guy. You sound so happy! As for your father... LOL he was there once! LOL I guess he's just protective over his eldest daughter. Hes extra protective over my younger sister though XD She's more prone to do something silly. Mhmm, he is wonderful... the most wonderful person I've ever met. He has an amazing personality, which is more than I can say for other boys I've dated >_> He's kind, honest and just an overall sweetheart. Oh, MW! We can argue too, haha. If he disagrees with me, he'll let me know and vice versa. I think this is due to the fact that we did this when we were friends so we both feel comfortable expressing our own opinions. Yay for seeing him tomorrow! -Li *sees the big smile in Li's heart* *hopes he notices the little red hearts floating around my head* -Li I'm sure he does.

Forget that one, look at this!!! And of course, the bot is STILL right next to me. *wonders if I am talking to myself* *sits here a day later realizing no one ever looks here* Oh, sure we do. We just never bother saying anything. XD LOL And you think the large number of people who were on when we were is nothing to comment about? meh. Its a lot of people. XD That's what I thought. LOL
