Hiking 8 miles up a mountain is tiring. Suntan lotion is not sunscreen. Shower sex is good. Outdoor sex is even better. New clothes will sometimes make you feel less shitty about life. Watercolors are a bitch. 3 cons are probably my life quota. It's hard to detach your heart from your vagina.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
And now another clue I would ask
If you could help me out
It's hard to understand
'Cause when you're running by yourself
It's hard to find someone to hold your hand
And now it's gonna be tough for me
But I will wait forever
I need someone now
To look into my eyes and tell me
Girl you know you've got to watch your health
See you on a dark night
