When it comes to rock, you don't follow any rules
You know that rocking out is all about taking down the man
You've got an incredible stage presence and rock persona
You scare moms, make bad girls (or boys) swoon, and live life on the edge!
You are an island. You don't need anyone else to make you happy.
And though you see yourself as a loner, people are drawn to you.
Deep and sensitive, you tend to impress others with your insights.
You also tend to be psychic - so listen to that inner voice!
How are you? How was your Summer? Hope it was nice. I mostly worked all Summer but I still enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to the Fall. Hope to hear from you soon. Have a nice last week of August.
How are you today? It has been so long since I've written to you. Hope all is very well and you're having a nice summer. I'm working throughout the summer. Kind of a drag but I got to make some money. You have a nice Monday.
How are you? Hope all is well and you've had a nice weekend. Mine was kind of boring. Nothing much is going on with me at the moment except preparing for another Friday the 13th. Sounds a little insane. Have a nice week.

How are you today? Hope you're having a nice Friday. How has the first month of 2009 been treaty you? Hope all is well and you had a great beginning of January. I'm looking forward to February. You have a nice weekend.
Hey! I stopped into Wildflower today and the fellow said I just missed you (I stopped in with my grandmother and she was super obnoxious as usual, so I was sort of glad you weren't there, hehehe). Hope you're doing well!
Hey Alayna, I saw on your comments that Jennifer wants to see you too, if you want we could all do something together on Friday too. Let me know if you are going to be able to meet up, I hope so!! Merry Christmas!!!
