I have a splitting headache, mostly from mold allergies. Joy.

I really feel bad only having negative things to say in here, so let me say some positive things.

One: I am turning 18 in exactly one week.

Two: Blair is coming to visit for my birthday.

Three: My brother just got married.

Four: I have a nifty keen boyfriend.

Five: My new hair color rocks my world.

Six: There's only one more month until I can go back to school.

Seven: I am making a fresh start.

Eight: I have come to a place in my life where I've been able to realize that even though I'll always have regrets, that's ok and even though there are tons of things I regret doing, I'd almost definitely do them all again if I had the chance. Most of them.

Nine: I get to see my Shakespeare people tomorrow.

Ten: I'm going back to Spokane the day after tomorrow.

See? I'm not always negative. These are all positive and relatively recent developments in my life. I hope you feel enlightened or enriched or happy for me or something.

Now if I could just get that boyfriend to answer his phone, I would have nothing else left in this world to desire. Heh. Sort of.

Love,
Beth

So I bought myself a ticket for the european shore
and I packed my bags and cut off all my hair
but I left my heart in Brussels
when I was just eighteen
and I gave it to the gyspy woman there

And don't you feel The current mood of rabbut at www.imood.com today, too?
