Went to see the movie Thirteen, the story of Tracy, a straight-A student in 7th grade who turns from a good girl that still has stuffed animals on her bed into an uncontrollable teen monster, after she starts hanging out with ultra bad girl Evie. Shoplifting, drugs, drinking, casual sex and self-mutilation all follow.

I like to think that my own life at that age parallels Tracy?s and so here, based on some of the movie?s central themes is another compelling tale of life at age thirteen.

I thought yeah, I’ll have toast.
There’s brown bread, white bread,
all sorts of wholemeal bread;
It comes in funny packages
with writing on the side.
I?ll have toast, a little bit of toast.
