I am sixteen going on seventeen......

Rolf
You wait, little girl, on an empty stage
For fate to turn the light on
Your life little girl is an empty page
That men will want to write on

Liesel
To write on

Rolf
You are sixteen going on seventeen
Baby, it's time to think
Better beware...be canny and careful
Baby, you're on the brink
You are sixteen going on seventeen
Fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads and rogues and cads
Offer you food and wine
Totally unprepared are you to face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared are you
Of things beyond your ken
You'll need someone older and wiser
Telling you what to do,
I am seventeen going on eighteen
I'll take care of you!

Liesel
I am sixteen going seventeen
I know that I'm naive
Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet
And willingly I believe
I am sixteen going seventeen
Innocent as a rose
Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies
What do I know of those?
Totally unprepared am I to face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared am I
Of things beyond my ken
I need someone older and wiser
Telling me what to do,
You are seventeen going on eighteen
I'll depend on you!

This is the last day I will be able to think of this song, and have it pertain to me (except there is no one in my life to play the Rolf part in my life at the moment :P). I'm turning seventeen tomorrow! Sweet sixteen.....bye-bye!

I have been very blessed in this year of my life. I have seen my baby sister grow up from crawling everywhere, to seeing her chase after poor Meeko as fast as her legs will take her. I have become very close to my lil sis Samwise, she is now one of my closer freinds. I have seen Beth n Steph grow more mature and caring toward one another (which is a BIG deal). I have finally shed my horrid job at Mira Vista, and am working at the vets office, doing stuff I really enjoy. I have, in my year of being sixteen, been in two different school seasons at college, getting my AA degree. I have become closer to my freinds, here and abroad, and closer to the YPS in general. I have finally gotten to play X-BOX LIVE without Sam freaking out over my shoulder lol. As you still know, I still have the Precious, so nothings changed there. And I believe that my faith in God has increased very much over this year, when I had so many changes, and no where else to turn. My parents and my family, who I love with all my heart, are always there for me, but there are some things that cannot be solved by mortal man. I have become closer to my parents as well. Sometimes, when things get real tough, they are always a shoulder to cry on, and a person to spill my guts to. LOL. There has been no change in my love life, but I suppose its better than a broken heart, so I got that to be thankful for. I have actually grown like an inch an a half since last year, woo- hoo! Overall, though my life may not be perfect, this past year, even though I also went though some of the hardest times in my life, God was always there for me, and I had some of the best times of my life happen. Thank you LORD! And thank you, all my freinds, and family, for being there for me. Love you all!
