I wrote this for my reading and writing tutorial. I had to write two paragraphs about why I like the color pink. I like it.

To me pink is the color of new birth and growth; it is the color of a prima ballerina’s tights as she moves with graceful strength. Pink reminds me of babies with rosy cheeks, cherry blossoms in the spring and dance classes with a woman who I thought was perfect. Soft pink is innocent and young, yet bright pink is hot, exciting and sexy. Pink is multi-faceted and ever changing. I am drawn to all that it offers because I too want to be innocent and sexy; graceful and strong; warm and inviting.

I see myself right now as a flower waiting for spring. I am hiding below the soft soil; I do not know what I am waiting for but when it comes I will know. It will make me want to rise up through the soil and spread my beautiful rosy petals towards the sun so that everyone can see how beautiful I am and all that I have to offer. I will be strong and sexy; women will want to be my friends and men will want to have me for their own. I will move with grace and power and little girls will wonder at me and want to be just like me. And I will be wearing pink.

Also, I am thinking about not doing this anymore.  Instead  I think that I will start a MySpace.  It is similar but updating won't be as difficult and hopefully I will be able to update more.  But none of this is set in stone yet.  So I'll keep you updated.

Love the writing assignment (except for the men wanting you for their own, but I'm the Dad) I know there are people who want to keep updated with you so this format or another is fine. Let us know.
Love Dad
