eh, the thought that i may have lost wild-childness makes me sad, not glad. so i think i shall recapture it! i feel too cautious and (self-) controlled, but not in a healthy way. dude, i love all these pics. LOVE 'em. how old are you in that one?

i have no idea why i'm dressed like this ... it might have been a piano recital or something:

That could be the new masterpiece. Nice dress, nerdo!!!! Sooo cute.
I was 11. There was a softball tournament in Stockton that summer, which was convenient b/c my grandma and fam lives there, and I went every summer.
I know, everything you turn into after the age of 8 sucks. It's because you grow up, and you are supposed to be controlled, and people make you feel weird for being free and sassy. There is an appropriate way to become an adult without losing that, I just don't know what it is. But I've always thought "everyone" was boring, even when I was little. Then when you grow up, everyone is even more boring. So it makes you feel like you should be controlled and proper and be happy being that way.
I dunno, I don't have the answer. I always thought I would grow up and be a famous actress, so, problem solved. Actors can totally twack out, and it's okay.
I'm not sure the exact way that you don't feel free and sassy. I think the difference with me is that when I was little I was a tiny little assmonkey, and didn't care what people thought, or notice - but now that I'm grown - when I'm an assmonkey the repercussions are more severe, so I feel like I have to not assmonkey as much.

Oh, and if you are type O blood, you shouldn't really eat wheat. Otherwise that meal sounds awesome. Try to get a bunch of good veggies in your burrito, and get some boca ground if you can.
