Amy's Free Library of Rock!

I'm still not entirely over how badly Angie was treated in high school, as I touched on in the commencement speech post-- probably she is more over it than I am-- just this heavy bit of anger and frustration I lug around with me that rears up whenever subjects of high school or bullying or acceptance or tolerance or WHATEVER come up. And seriously, it was like she went immediately from Complete Outcast to The One Everyone Wants to Befriend the second she got to college (actually, as soon as she came up for High School Open House Sleepover Weekend thing: I had to go to a meeting and I was going to ask her if she wanted to come with me or hang out elsewhere in the dorm, and practically before I'd said a thing she'd wandered off with some of my other classmates to see somebody's book collection and I thought, "Wow, she really IS going to totally fit in here!")
