• “I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down. That’s the
  thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty… you fall half
  in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are.”

  --h. caulfield

  i like being a girl.

  although, i don't really think i'm THAT girl, the type of girl who inspires fictional characters to spring epithets like that.  it reminds me of when kj told me the story of how her youth pastor sat her down and called her a temptress or seductress or something like that (if my memory serves me correctly), and how that was meant to be an admonishment, but kristin laughed and thought of how ridiculously untrue that was, but somehow complimentary. 

  we may not have the devastating secret girl powers like THOSE girls - the ones who could pull an orange out of their pocket and everyone thinks it's a miraculous artistic talent (you know who i'm talking about), but perhaps we carry our power in our magic bracelets, like wonder woman.

  i have no idea why i'm thinking these things right now.
