It's Sodapop Curtis's birthday today!  I know this is cheesy sounding but the thought of a boy like Soda helped me through a lot of bad stuff I went through last year and am still going through.  Call me crazy because I sleep with a flannel every night, but I don't care.  He's the most amazing fictional, and real (if he was) person I've ever read about.  He's sweet, and selfless, and handsome, but the thing I admire most about Soda is his heart.
