rephrased

All I've ever read was "Death of a Salesman", and actually, I'm not sure I even read it, just watched it in some class. Maybe I should read some more of his stuff, eh?

I was talking to my mother today, and I think I was born with this desperate need to prove I'm independent. I don't really like it. It messes a lot of things up, and when it comes down to it, I really really really do need other people, a lot.

The Maine beach sounds wonderful. The Oregon beaches are almost always rainy, or at least sprinkly. That's what I always hope for, light rain, and a little wind. And we have lots of nice cliffs and rocks too. I don't really understand the purpose of a beach like in California. What does it do?

I have no control over when my sets go up. If I did, I would try ever so hard for you. As it is, all we can do is hope a lot. I want them to go up too, of course.
