While I was cruising about the interwebs, I came across this wonder "101 Theme Challenge" and decided I had to do it. So here is the first installment of my 101 challenge. Featuring Courtney.

1. Happy
Courtney sat at her desk, her hair tied up in a messy bun, in her faded blue flannel pajama pants and a baggy t-shirt. She gnawed on the end of her pencil-a disgusting habit she wished she could break herself of, but never managed to do so. Anyone who saw her would think she was a nervous wreck and she supposed she was. She tried to list all the good qualities of Duncan, trying to convince herself why they were good together. He was rude, crass, unorganized, a delinquent, sarcastic…the list of cons went on.
Courtney wasn't afraid to admit that she was a bit of a control freak. She couldn't help it; it's just how she was. And it was no secret that she was a perfectionist and slightly OCD. She had her flaws just as he had his. Maybe that's why they were so good together. They were each flawed and they knew it, they just didn't like to admit it to the world. Maybe if they could admit it to themselves then that was just enough to go off of. She smiled and scribbled on the paper.
She looked at her clock and frowned. If she was going to be up and ready for school the next morning, sleep would be a nice thing.
She stood and tacked her list of reasons to the cork board above her desk. She walked to her bed and climbed under the blankets, looking back once more at the list. Under the headline which said "Why am I with Duncan" it read-in big capital letters: Because he makes me happy.
