I just got back from a tough movie called "My Sister's Keeper."  I don't really know what to say about it because on one hand it was amazing and on the other hand it was terribly sad but I think that's what the movie was supposed to make you feel.  Anyhow I got braces on my bottom teeth today and could really use a tylenol.  To be honest, I don't mind them that much I just don't want to have to deal with worrying about food getting stuck or cutting my lip or I don't even know.  They are clear so you can barely see them but it still is inconvenient and there are worse things in life than getting clear braces the summer of your senior year.  If that's one of the biggest problems I have right now then I must have it pretty good.  My cat, Baby, got her nails clipped today and thankfully she no longer leaves a beautiful mark on my skin whenever I want to hug her!  I know I am bias but I must say that Baby is the greatest and smartest cat in this entire world.  She is basically a dog and follows me around wherever I go.  She comes when I call her and sleeps in my bed every night snuggling with me whenever I finally fall asleep.  I wake up to her cuddled up to my shoulder or arm and it's the best thing ever! I am such a freak because I love my cat so much but I feel like she is my child.  I love the responsibility of taking care of her and feeding her and making sure she is comfortable sleeping which she probably has no clue since she is not human but I like to think she does.  We as humans thrive to be someone's hero.  There is something inside each and every one of us that wants to take care of someone else or help make someone else's life a little easier.  No matter how harsh someone has become there is still a slight hint of feelings left in us all and I am so fascinated with watching the way people handle each other.  I love people watching and love seeing relationships among any sort of people whether its friends, lovers or family.  We are so unique and can be so cruel yet so kind to one another.  One of my favorite things to watch are two people falling in love.  Yes, I am a romantic and possibly an idealist. But really, I am so thrilled with a couple showing love and expressing the way they feel about each other in the most subtle ways or not so subtle ways.  How magnificent is the human heart and it's abilities so feel such strong feelings to the point that it physically hurts?  The Lord truly blesses us with that ability to love and be loved and any one is foolish who says that the pain is not worth the pleasure of being in love.
