A Birthday and Cezanne

Hey world: it's me again. How's Earth? Apparently Neptune is very dark. Our naughty space-dogs are barking their heads off and irritating the neighbours... well, those neighbours that haven't gone deaf, anyway.
I'm 16 now! It was my birthday on the 3rd, and I got an awful (hang on - chocolate, awful? Let me say 'a very great') lot of chocolate. My friend even baked a chocolate cake and brought it to school for me, and we had jelly crystals! It was great.
^ - ^ Great great great! The only bad thing happened to be that when you eat jelly crystals (we didn't have too much, though, because they wind you up very easily, lol) off your fingers, the skin turns the same colour. I managed to warn everyone else but forgot about it myself, brainiac that I am. :-)
Hmmmm, interesting insights. You know what? I'm a 16-year-old girl, I haven't experienced anything much in my life save the depressingly common chill of divorce, and I honestly haven't had the freedom to make stupid mistakes. Any insights I might have (well, do have - if you can call them that) wouldn't really be stemming from personal experience, or knowledge of how the world works, or anything like that. They'd be hopelessly naive, drawn only from my judgements on the fairly harmless world I live in. It's impossible that I could understand the lives and struggles of so many of the people in this world... but I'm gonna try!
Forgive my blundering, because hopefully these thoughts of mine will improve with practice. ^ - ^
I've got to make the most of this youthful enthusiasm while I still have it: that's a lesson learned from my grandparents, one of the rare complete truths I've heard. Youth may still be wasted on me, but I aim to make the most of it. Spain, here I come!
Oh, and the painting is by Cezanne, one of many of
Mont Sainte-Victoire in France. (See more work by him.) I love it - impressionism seems to speak straight to the mysteries of human perception. Maybe it's too girly, this view, but I think of art as something which conjours up human emotion. I know others don't agree with me - Dad - but I just thought I'd say it. :-) I'm almost of time, lol, have been typing for too long. Have a great day, guys, and thanks for reading. ^ - ^
