I guess I’ll take this in mini-steps. Step one: stop saying “like.” I don’t say it as much as the badly-stereotyped ditzy high school girl, but I say too much anyway.
Step two will probably be to stop qualify everything I say with the words “I guess.”
What would be really cool is if I could do this with my boyfried at some point over the next year, because that would mean I’d be going on a road trip with France as the starting point. You just can’t go wrong from there.
The road trips we have gone on together usually end up being a quest for The Best Chocolate Pastry in France. Which is not a bad purpose at all.
I’ve been reading tutorials online and I’m making rapid progress. I’d love to actually take a class, but I’m sure that won’t be possible any time in the near future.
I did come up with a darn cool photo, though. Looky:
(What is RSS?)
