Wow.<BR/><BR/>I remember when I was getting ready to go to a dance, complaining about probably not being asked to dance, my brother looked at me and said, "Just don't be that girl who cries at the dance. Don't do it. Everyone is annoyed at that girl." And it stuck with me. There were a number of times I wanted to cry at a dance, but I never let myself. I didn't want to be that girl. ;)<BR/><BR/>I love this post!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339665205284492242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4304861315452931366.post-53640861878881520342009-01-30T09:02:00.000-05:002009-01-30T09:02:00.000-05:00Oh, the angst.

I brought this guy who was totally hawt but he was shy. So we danced to the slow songs but the rest of the time we didn't talk to each other. But I guess that isn't really the same.<BR/><BR/>I was a total party whore.

They do not notice who you really are until... Youu unfurl those wings of yours and suddenly the whole room takes flight. If I could raise up any one person in the blog-o-sphere, any friend in my life, and get people to really see their courage and their beauty, it would be you. But, you don't need me or anyone to do that. You are your own force. You carry the weight and motion in the tips of those fingers busy, beautifully typing things like this.ConverseMommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964215682943025507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4304861315452931366.post-83730529643805709202009-01-29T11:34:00.000-05:002009-01-29T11:34:00.000-05:00Oh!
