I suppose I really am a lazy bitch when it comes to updating this thing. After all, I have known for quite some time that I'm going to France.

And I haven't said a damn thing.

Which is really sad because things like this don't happen to girls like me. Chubby chicks with little to no money, we don't go to fancy places like France. But thanks to the glories of American school system (Of which there are a dwindling few) I will be spending ten days in Marseille (which I probably spelt wrong) with a host family. Unfortunatly, Manon will not be coming back with me to America, as would be the norm, thanks to the recent (hah, months old) shift in the French Government.

All the same, I'm thrilled to be going. I'm leaving in threes days, and my generous midsection has been a-twist with excitement and anxiety. (I should explain that I have been blessed with both large bones and a sweet tooth that belongs in a gang. I long since accepted that I will never be anorexically thin and attractive, so I may as well cater to my sweet tooth. On occasion it allows me the healthy shizz, and I'm not in terrible shape for what I eat.) And so, I will miss three days of school (Which is both joyous and depressing- I will have to make it all up, and I'm flirting dangerously with my AP History and English Test dates.

As of now, I am still boyfriendless (I had a crush, but he's taken) and it would all be really heartbreaking if I wasn't a solid beleiver that I do not need a man in my life to make me whole. I also recently decided that it would be quite interesting to grow up (I love how we teenagers use "growing up" still, as though there's so much of it to do.) and become a lighthouse operater. I'm a Mainah, there's tons of 'em around here, and I find the smell of the sea quite calming.

That, or a film critic. I intend to (maybe) start reveiwing films and books (old ones, no doubt, but still) here along with my (few) lifetime updates.

Well, that's all I have to say. And now, a quote:

"Sucess is not perminant, and failure is not fatal." Who said it? I dunno, but it's good to know, isn't it?
