It's refreshing to be around for a time, but then you start to think that being naive is its own defense mechanism and wonder what's going on inside.L.A.

I mean, we've all had those moments (some of us more than others, LOL) but they demand fiction make more sense than life.

It probably could just annoy the heck out of me if the heroine was constantly doing being ditzy. (Not that I'm calling YOU ditzy, that's a title I reserve for myself.)<BR/><BR/>Leah<BR/><BR/>(for some reason blogger didn't auto log me in, and I can't remember my password - too early in the morning - hence the anonymous post)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
