I had a nice run this morning, and a leisurely recovery. I took a shower and fell asleep. Now I feel ready for the rest of the day!
Btw. It's very interesting to wake up in the middle of a shower. More comfortable than one might think.

Where are you going, Where have you been?This story left me a very creepy feeling, along with slight distaste and annoyance.
: Her name was Connie
At this point there is a decision to make; many really bad/lame/cliche/pointless stories begin this way and yet there are a few that turn out very good. Will this redeem itself? As long as it doesn't stick the Age in the next sentance like a 3rd grade Girlie Novel
: She was fifteen and...
Oh my gosh. Shoot me now....
Although I take none of that back, the ending almost made the beginning okay. It added to the creepyness in one way or another. I still hated the beginning and all things beginning like that but the ending made it less repugnant. I can't explain it. Unless that first sentance is saved by a reference to a lonely night in a bar or an immediate death the story is annoying. When the character's age is mentioned... well there is no hope.
The ending was horribly creepy. I hated Connie, but her hatefulness isn't total and nor is it because of anything evil in her nature. Therefore the ending is creepy and not really Horror[she wasnt sweet and innocent] and not vengance[she wasn't a raving hellion] but just... yeesh.
This is very confuzzled, but right now I'm just a mix of "euw" and a vague creepyness feeling.
Thanks a lot.

THE BENEFITS OF ENGLISH
Simple alphabet — no special symbols such as é or ä. Type in sweet, part, film on your computer. Now try süß (German), (Polish), (Russian). Which is easier?
Easy plurals — simply add s to a word. One car, five cars; one telephone, two telephones... There are very few exceptions.
Words are easy to learn. --- In French, it's la fille and le chien. In German, it's das Mädchen and der Hund. In English, they're just a girl and a dog. And that's all you need to know.
Short words. --- Most of the basic words are short: run, work, big, go, man. Long words are often shortened: sitcom = situational comedy, fridge = refrigerator, OS = operating system. Speaking English saves you time.
Call everybody "you". --- You can say "Do you speak English?" to your friend or to your teacher. In other languages, you have to use the right word for the right person. In English, everybody is equal.
