"Haaappy Birfday!" Love Gusgus.
And now it is official! You are nineteen and one hour old. Can you feel the power, the joy? Do you feel nineteen, yet?
You just wrote a whole bunch of facts about the number nineteen, and though they're cool, I want a list of how you feel about being nineteen, or what nineteen means to you.
I love you more than all those boy's love for you down there in Provo. I just really love you. Happy, Happy nineteen.
