i just went through some old boxes of stuff. the thing i love about myself, is that i document everything. i write down everything about everything, and i keep everything. ever since i was little.
i have these little diary books with all my user names and passwords for anything i ever signed up for on the internet. i have some usernames for yabber.net and 4 hotmail accounts, and like 4 neopet accounts, angelfire, clairol.com, etc.

i found this book where you can only write in it with gel pens, and in it i have a conversation me and my mom had. and now i think back and i remember we wrote back and forth at the soccer center. it was during one of my brother's soccer games. we were sitting upstairs.

"Jan 23/2000

Dear Christine, You're almost ten years old! I can't believe a decade has already passed from the day you were born! Soon before we know it, you'll be going to University, and then on to your own independent life! Still, you'll always be our little girl -- whether smiling, pouting, making mess or being helpful. My advice to you: work as hard as you can every day (although you are allowed to have some fun, too!) and you'll be successful. Love, Mom"

this is what i wrote back: "My advice to you, is to let me do whatever i want and give me anything my heart desires. (just joking). write something else."

"Dear Christine, If i did what you asked, it would be irresponsible from my part. Remember that in life you cannot always have whatever your heart desires! You must make choices and many times you have to give up unimportant things in order for you to achieve the "big" things, the big, important goals."

wow. i was only ten. time flies like mad
