I don’t have any real anything to say today. I’m kind of floating through. I took my chapter picture today. I felt especially pretty.

“Cause I love to hate the feeling… don’t want to deal with the Morning after… What can I say to keep you down. What can I say to keep you down. What can I say to keep your love around me?” I was reading the Onion yesterday on the way home to lift my spirits. … Read More
