'Cause I'm stubborn. *nods* Heh -- and that's one of the reasons we loves you so.

Yeah, you've found yourself a great outlet for the kid-growing-up time of more freedom -- I'm proud of you and glad for you. I'll just have to give it some real thought for myself. Don't think I'm even remotely interested in getting back to any school setting. Maybe I'll resume my guitar lessons. I'd like to do something people-oriented, getting back in touch with creative people doing neat things. Or maybe I'll volunteer in some capacity -- actually do something useful. *Sigh* We'll see. Maybe I'll just get over it and drown myself in more fanfiction. Which, truth to tell? is finally getting *old*.
