Have you ever seen The Breakfast Club? It follows five teens during a day of detention. They each come into the day not understanding each other, but by the end of it, learn that they really are alike in many of the ways they believed they were different.
“Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us, as you want to see us...In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain...and an athlete...and a basket case...a princess...and a criminal...Does that answer your question?”
Hmmm...what if we all saw ourselves as the very thing we think we're not? Then perhaps, just maybe, we might be able to walk in someone else's shoes...the shoes that maybe we never thought we'd wear???

Very, very cool my dear. Have you been reading my latest posts? We think we're different, but we're actually alike:) Sorry I didn't make it yesterday. I left you a voicemail, I'd run out of time. This post rocks! My fav 80's flick is Pretty in Pink. It's kind of a similar Pride and Prejudice, but with high school theme.
FYI I sense that Project Care Bears is getting closer.
Hey Emily,
This has recently come back around for me. If you're into praying say a prayer for me and we should hook up soon.
love hermi
