It's easy to say that you're loyal to your family, your club, your friends.
But when are we ever loyal to ourselves?
I for one have just begun being loyal to myself, my rebellious persona, my fish-outta-water status and fiery attitude all included as part of the package. I'm beginning to love myself - for who I am, who I was and what I could and can be. Do you guys ever look at yourself in the mirror and say 'I love you'?
I am at heart a writer, and a rebellious one at that. I am far from studious, although when I was young I tended to be just a bit bossy and goody two shoes. I think now I'm beginning to be truthful to myself.
It is easier to defy the odds, defy all that is expected of you and be simply who you want to be when you love yourself.
Sometimes, you feel like you need to blend in, or be the person that the boy next door wants you to be to garner his attention. I've learned the hard way that that...just doesn't work. And whilst you're busy trying to impress this guy that will never like you, you're missing out on the attentions of a guy that would really like you for who you truly are, without all of your masks.
Follow your heart - it will tell you what to do.

Precisely what I have been telling you. :)
And...could you look into listing me as a "team member" so I may comment on your other blog? I think you can find out how through "Blogger help" somewhere.
Much <3,

Have you watched Twilight?

If you mean me, no. In fact, I've never read the books. :O
I have completed the Harry Potter series and the complete set of Jane Austen novels, plus miscellaneous works of O. Henry, Charles Dickens, and other really old stuff. Not much up-to-date books with me; lots of the stuffy things, like classical music, classical art, and classical literature.
Which makes me weird, since I have never heard an entire song by Hannah Montana, the Jonas Brothers, or whoever's hot on the market now. Not to say I'm ignorant and hate pop music - some of the stuff is good, especially smooth jazz, my fav outside 19-th century music. But I sometimes think I'm still trapped two hundred years ago. :D
And sorry, LR, for using your comments board as my own blog. Heh!
Sorry to bombard you with so many comments at once, LR, but look here:

That's how to let me and some others comment. You still have my e-mail, right?
Oh, hey, and you've got my clock wrong (World Clocks, at the bottom of your blog). When it's 3:44 PM where you are, it's -yawn- 12:44 AM where I am. You've set it an hour early, to 11:44 PM.
Which reminds me, I have to sleep like a human being. Cheers!

actually, I was talking to LR, but anyway...
I just started looking at classical books. I'm reading Sense and Sensibility, which, by the way LR suggested. I like pop music, but I prefer classic.

Sense and Sensibility is nice - my personal favorite is Emma, though. Uncannily like myself, muddling in other peoples' business.
