Are they embarrassed by / for me?"<BR/><BR/>Maybe they are more embarrassed that they have never read your blog before tonight...<BR/>...and maybe that is because they are so busy doing crazy things like taking "theatre tape" which is actually called gaffers tape to their sisters who are staying up all night making Star Wars costumes and then going over to their brother's to make pop machine costumes.<BR/>...or maybe it's because they tried to read it at school but it was blocked...and maybe that's beacuse of all the "art" pictures.<BR/>... or maybe it's because they think that in order to comment they have to be able to write well...<BR/>...or maybe it's because they didn't realize until tonight that you are an amazing and insightful writer. <BR/>... or maybe it's because I'm a terrible slacker and had no idea what I was missing.<BR/>Thank you for being so funny, and for loving art, and for knowing so much, and for baring your soul and being willing to admit your weaknesses on-line, and for being a great little sister. <BR/>I laughed and cried and nodded my head all the way through your last 4 blogs. <BR/>You are simply amazing.

Now I'm going to have nightmares about jumping off a 3,000 foot high Henry Moore sculpture with a Lego parachute and upon landing I’ll get hit by Rowling as she’s driving a bus while writing the last Harry Potter book. Instead of dying on impact, I’ll perish from my immunity to antibiotics before the nurse can count to five.Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12518442124374879454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34687963.post-1161968837378507532006-10-27T10:07:00.000-07:002006-10-27T10:07:00.000-07:00I'm only visiting here so you'll visit me and stro...I'm only visiting here so you'll visit me and stroke my ego.
