It’s looking like a limb torn off Or altogether just taken apart Were reeling through an endless fall We are the ever-living ghost of what once was But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do No one’s gonna love you more than I do And anything to make you smile It is my better side of you to admire But they should never take so long Just to be over then back to another...

CANDY BIEBER: I'm Fine :)­ Where are you from?­­
Me: I grew up in Arizona, I live in New York City now though
CANDY BIEBER: Cool!­­
Me: Are you related to Bieber?
CANDY BIEBER: No! I'm just Bieber number one fan.­ sorry, my English is very bad.­­
Me: That's okay, I understand you just fine.
I changed my name on FB to Bieber just now, you inspired me
CANDY BIEBER: Oh, Thanks.­ how old are you?­­
Me: 31
CANDY BIEBER: haha ok.­­

(CANDY is online.)
Me: I am a writer and performer
Me: Not quitting my day job anytime soon though.
CANDY BIEBER: oh great­­
CANDY BIEBER: did not know.­­
Me: have you ever seen Justin in concert?
Do you like his new haircut??
CANDY BIEBER: No, I still did not match any concert in my country, able to in June or July comes around here recently.­­
YEAH! ♥­­
CANDY BIEBER: have you ever seen Justin in concert?­­
Me: No, he is in New York sometimes but I don't like crowds.
CANDY BIEBER: oh, hahaha.­
CANDY BIEBER: I'm from Argentina, and did not come here yet.­­
Me: also I would feel bad taking a spot that could go to an actual young fan.
He'll get there!
CANDY BIEBER: yes, I know! Thanks :)­­
never say never­­
: D­­
Me: You are the first person I have actually talked to who is a Bieber superfan.
All my friends are too old for him
and they don't really like him, even though they are mostly all gay.
CANDY BIEBER: haha!­ Bieber you think is gay?­­
ME: I don't think so.
CANDY BIEBER: :/­
CANDY BIEBER: haha, good.­­
here, mostly in my country and throughout Latin America justin many haters who say he's gay.­­
Me: It's the same in the US. That's the easiest way for anyone to hate on someone, unfortunately. I hope he really isn't, because I'm sure he would feel forced to keep it secret for a very long time, like Ricky Martin
and that would be sad for him.
CANDY BIEBER: Yeah­ :(­­
Me: But I think he is probably very straight.
CANDY BIEBER: most of my family listened to his music! and say, "that this girl sings well" :(­­
Me: Haha. Well, his voice will change!
CANDY BIEBER: his voice is changing. :'(­­
Me: Fortunately it's more than his voice or his looks that everyone loves, right?
CANDY BIEBER: Yes

Me: How old are you?
CANDY BIEBER: I have 10 years.

It’s a bulky package, loss, But all the grown-ups around me Are staggering to...

Onward Christian Soldiers
Nathan Lassiter wants the people to stay and work for him as tenants, an idea that the residents of Walnut Grove find disagreeable, more so as he uses intimidating tactics and they discover the man’s attitudes. Laura will not have it, and in frustration begins smashing her house. At a town meeting, they all decide the same, and one of the residents offers a supply of explosives that he has....

Her: Whenever people around the office lower their voices, I’m convinced they’re talking about me…. :( Me: I was thinking the same thing earlier! But then I listened very carefully and was relieved to find out they were talking about you, not me.
