Birthday Imagery :)

So, Friday was my birthday, and while the mail guy was delivering my Amazon order,(Will Grayson, Will Grayson, the Dead Tossed Waves, and a new hardcover of The Road) and while I was eating sushi with my irl friends, I got these pictures from my online friends. My musers.

Anyway, we'll see what these pictures say about me...have any ideas?








I think what these say about me is that I have awesome online friends. And not everybody understands that. So, do you know people online who know you as well, or sometimes better than the people who you know irl? I wonder if that's going to be something we see in YA literature in the future? From years ago I remember (not a YA) Tad Williams' Otherworld series, and that some of the characters only knew each other online (and the rest met each other online since they were all trapped there). Anyway...I'm still bursting with birthday happiness, but I'll be back to the world of teens with some great essays on Teen stereotypes written by teens. A few of them might surprise you!
