This is amazing. I've always loved writing like this, the personal narrative with a creative spin. Playing with your voice. I've done workshops like this in the summer, and they truly made me realize that everyone is a writer, given the right circumstances.

Anyway! I love this line: He has brown hair, tanned skin, and a lean body that deserves a second glance. I'm a sucker for threes, especially where the third item changes the tone a little. I love the bit about the other people having faded out of the photo, since it's a photo of the mind. And sldkfjsf, as it is always near the top LOVE THAT. I love how You know the one I mean and Yeah. That one draw the reader right in on a personal level.

The last line is perfect. Mem'ing this, totally.

Just to sound egotistical, I'm going to say NO. But, you know, I probably could.

BUT, AS FRIENDS, WE WILL BE MORE AWESOME TOGETHER.

This was gorgeous. I was in tears (but laughed at the Bring It On reference!). Great job. =]

♥ Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

Haha, yeah, every time I see that move, I think of Eliza Dushku (well, I'm sure it wasn't really her, but still.) in Bring It On.

If, you know, I WATCHED or whatever cheerleading and saw that move, I'd think of her too.

"I got bored in fifth period." Or whatever class it was. =/

LMAO. Well, I was thinking more of Olympics gymnastics...but if I watched cheerleading, I'm sure I would then, too.

Fourth period. But close. :D (I am kind of ashamed of how well I know this movie...)
