Mum sent this, and I suddenly felt compelled to post it up here:
"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.  You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time.  You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.  You'll fight with your best friend.  You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.  You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.  So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back."

In other news....

Actually, there is no other news.  Yesterday's post kind of sums everything up.  Watched the Oscars.  Was dreadfully bored.  The only thing that was even remotely worth turning the mute button off for was, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have some very bad news.  Bjork will not be in attendance tonight.  She was trying on her Oscar dress and Dick Cheney shot her."
Who is Jon Stewart, anyway???

Oh yes!  Other news.  Well, only the girls will really appreciate this.  I am now the proud owner of 3.5"-4" heeled gold sandals.  Strappy.  Fun.  And metallic.  Oh yes.

Anyway....
