I don't think that's strange at all.<br /><br />Herbert! We had lantana in our old yard! Well, technically we have some here too. . .

Oooh, I just saw some today--about an hour ago, actually--and remembered the lantana bushes in our old yard.<br /><br />Anyway.<br /><br />I happen to like cheerful people, and my MC is usually pretty cheerful. Well, on the outside. She's not always cheerful, of course.<br /><br />Actually, I'm usually very cheerful. Everyone happens to think I'm strange (for many reasons, but that's one of them) because of it.<br /><br />Lovely post as always!Amandahttp://alifeonmission.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6571065838098104765.post-35010678164464723302013-02-12T13:48:54.427-05:002013-02-12T13:48:54.427-05:00I love your choice of vocabulary used in this post...I love your choice of vocabulary used in this post. And you are so right! I'm trying to remember what was the last YA novel I read which had cheery, happy MCs in it. *crickets chirping* I try to balance it out with Emma, give her a happy-go-lucky, stop-to-sniff-the flowers side, but at the same time make sure she is realistic and believeable. Everyone has their struggles...their 'good' days, and 'bad' days. Great post!Leah Oxendine Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11866547395955852343noreply@blogger.com
