So I was instructed by my favorite littlest sister to update my journal. And my sisters are the loves of my life and I can't say no to them, so I'm updating ( Read more... )

I LOVE everyone's happy posts. They make my day. Even if you're miserable, you should just post something with a lot of exclamation points and 'yays!' and smiley faces, just to make me feel better. Because, let's face it, that's the most important thing ( Read more... )

Best way to go. I've had it for less than three weeks and I already have almost a thousand miles on it. Rar ( Read more... )

I'm exhaaausted. I want to go back to Matt's house and nap for the rest of my life ( Read more... )
