Description In honor of my son turning 18 and having his first day of college the very next day.
His life is unfurling...and it will be his adventure.
But he knows he will always have me in the background if/when he should need me.


Plumb "In My Arms" [link]

Your baby blues, so full of wonder
Your curly cues, your contagious smile
And as I watch, you start to grow up
All I can do is hold you tight

Knowing clouds will rage
And storms will race in but you will be safe in my arms
Rains will pour down, waves will crash all around
But you will be safe in my arms

Castles they might crumble
Dreams may not come true
But you are never all alone
Because I will always, always love you

The days of him being safe in my arms may have mostly past...but in spirit and in love...I will protect him as much as he will allow () and I will love him through all of it.

heck...he already texted me this morning from writing 121 "get me the hell out of here..." lol. after he called me to say "where is the Arts and Sciences building?"
okay. maybe he needs to figure some of this stuff for himself. But...he is doing this all on his own. I admire him.

It is one of my all time fave photos I have taken. Ever.

Awww you're so close and sweet with your son! I like how one plant's open and the other's shut. That's my input of the day.

Yes...I am. Funny that, he called me while I was on vacation at 12:28am to tell me he had just been pulled over by the policeman, because he had a broken headlight...AND was speeding!! Arse. Boys. Always drive way too fast.

Aww. That would have been funny. Omg it could have continued for centuries and generations to come! ...anyway.
Oh my god for reals that is ridiculous like why I don't understand. That's so funny. Is he popular? :L My bro has a gf and she's his only ever one and he doesn't tell anyone anything!
Well it's good to know that you'll listen and be understanding when I send you long, excruitiatingly intricate notes when all the fun starts pour moi.

I'm totally a slut...on the inside. I never let her out though. So I'm sad both in and out. terrible predicament. LOL.

Hey...when it's right, it's right. You'll know. He'll know. The banns will be read. LOL. kidding.

I try not to be an inside slut. I'm just like... I kind of check out every guy I see unless they're fat/ugly/shorter than me (stereotypical much? I'M SO SORRY). Unless they're ginger, they defs get a second glance. Sluts aren't that bad. They just like sex, right?

BUT WHO IS HE? *creys* *teenage angst* *boyfriends are cool* *when can I get one* *i'm pretending these asterisk things are hastags* The banns?

I wasn't when I was your age. Happened when I got older, lol. Dang it all.
Sex isn't bad, one just has to take it seriously.

LOL.
Humm...let me use my psychic powers...A letter is coming to me...N, NO. NOO...I see an M. yes. An M. and the number....17. I don't know if that is an age, or a year, LOL. hehehehe...

Seriously? Goodness. How pure. Perhaps you were a late bloomer
Hm, I was under the impression that sex is better when you have fun with it. And I know it isn't bad, god, how close-minded do you think I am?

yeah...LOL. M? Couldn't it have been...E? Or? 17? Two years? Five years? Six days? You suck.

...Right.

Oh egads. Not goin' there.

Is that your impression? And where did you get that? from the kids from your level? double egads. Sex is fun. and sexy. and satisfying, etc. But if you aren't ready to be serious about it, don't do it. need to be able to talk about what you like, what you don't and all that. Seriousness. And always consider birth control. AT ALL TIMES. Don't listen to guys who say, "I don't like it with a condom. It doesn't feel good." Well, then. Isn't it a good thing that your private parts are in such close proximity to your hands? Imagine that...

No no. that is what it was. deal with it, sister.

...wrong. (I'm just being contrary. I have forgotten what that was in regards to. )

Too embarrassing?

No, from magazines... Like it's enjoyable if you love the person and you're both into it and shit but at the same time if something silly happens you both laugh it off and it's still good. Like that? Sex is sexy? You kidding me? o.0 Well, I mean, you'd be serious about it but having fun with it with the person you're serious about. Right? OMG I KNOW this is such a huge thing I don't want to be pregnant until I have an established career. Although when I was younger I wanted to be a young mum. Anyway. OH GOD I am totally going to say that to those guys. Wow. I mean. In a few years. Actually legally it could only be like nine months.

NOOO MY LIFE IS ALREADY OVEEEERRRR IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BEEEE AND I STAYED AT SCHOOL TOO LONG AHHHHHHHH.
