Northport, Alabama

I have had an awesome day and tomorrow I am shooting high school baseball for the paper, college baseball for the Associated Press, and a party for the magazine. Three clients, three paychecks. My copy of Photoshop CS2 arrived today, I have money in the bank, NetFlix totally rocks, and I am so in love with a certain graphic designer that I can’t see straight. Sometimes even a girl like me gets what she wants.

“Now if I seem a little wild, there’s no holding back
I’m trying to get a message to you
I won’t take anything from anyone
I won’t walk and I won’t run, I believe in you.
London, Washington, anywhere you are I’ll run
Together we’ll be
Inside, outside, got my pride
I won’t let them take it from me.”

— from “A Girl Like You” by the Smithereens
