the story: kerrily and family moved to montgomery the summer after my sophomore year of high school. she joined my church and roomed with me at camp. the first time i met her i knew she was no typical teenager. we clicked pretty immediately, and we've been kindred spirits ever since.

your {soundtrack}: "on the sunny side of the street" by louis armstrong, "c.s. lewis song" and "shadowfeet" by brooke fraser, "everything is magic" by angels and airwaves, "crush" by david archuletta, "my girl" by the temptations.

your {rough draft}: any of c.s. lewis's and mark twain's writings, the wooster and jeeves series, the hitchiker's guide to the galaxy series, irish fairytales... and hundreds of other books.

your most {embarrassing} moment: i was 13 and buying a train ticket and the machine decided to break on me and out gushed three euros worth of ten-cent coins, spilling out onto the floor, going everywhere. then i had to pick them all up and try again. the people in line behind me hated my guts for those three minutes.
