as much as i would like to pretend otherwise -- because admitting it is putting my guard down and oh, i am strong and independent and i don't need anybody, no sir, i don't -- i am harboring a crush on a boy with light blue eyes, a funny laugh and a charming way with words. you probably don't know him, but i wish you did. he hides behind a big talk and swaggering walk, but really, he is a very nice boy.
