we write in this thing too much but i can't sleep!!
my dad was right...i shouldn't sleep during the day to make up for the sleep i've missed by being out late the night before. boo.
so i finished an entire book today. dah, all 349 pages :O)
since i just CAN'T SLEEP...
"'Did you know that during the teen years, the brain goes through an intense develpmental phase comparable to that of a newborn baby?"
"Is that another conversational construct?" I asked.
"No," he said. "I have a point."
"Make it."
"During that phase, the cells and connections that are frequently used survive and flourish. And those that aren't used just die away."
"Point, please."
"It was good that you have Len a chance, even though it didn't work out. You had to exercise that part of your brain, the part that lets you fall for someone, otherwise you'd never be able to fall in love with anyone. Ever."
-Second Helpings
So sue me, this isn't a college prep A-list book but I enjoyed it and it made good points without literary flower (sometimes good, usually bad) being shoved down my throat. i recommend this book to the female beasts...yes, it's girly and no, it's not a romance novel.
And no, that quote out of the book does not have anything to do with my current love life (or lack, thereof) so stop the gossiping, already. yes, i see those wheels turning. stop 'em.
Just thought it would be...good (diction very poor at 5:02 AM)...for those of you who are realists and practical yet in need of recklessness to become who you wish you could be.
