Did y'all know I can run a 5k in under 40 minutes?! That's slower than most people walk!

My time was 39:23.8.

Boo-yah!

Oh, my dearest darling. It's been seven years. Seven years of good times and bad. I didn't know when I first picked you up at the Sugar Land Barnes & Noble how large a part you would play in my life. Even when you hurt me, in the immortal words of John Cougar Mellencamp, it hurt so good. Because, you know what? Sometimes love don't feel like ( Read more... )

Y'all. I'm not gonna lie.

I LOVE 80s music.

LOOOOOOOOOVE. It's sad. It turns me into a dancing fool. Possible emphasis on the 'fool' part, but I don't give a half a shit. I hear a cheesy synthesizer mix play, and I am the dance floor's bitch.

I fear I may ( Read more... )

Well, I knew it was going to happen eventually. I bet y'all are starting to love love love my break-up posts.

You heard it here first. Garrison just wants to be "friends."

I don't really have anything else to say about it. As break-ups go, we were only dating, so it won't be that bad. But my goodness, I did like him quite a bit. I wish I ( Read more... )
