I walk in the air, between the rain, through myself and back again. Where? I don't know.

Damn you, Brian.

1. How tall are you?
5’ 5.5”. I’m proud of my height, but as always, I’d be even prouder to be 5’8”

2. Have you ever smoked heroin?
No, but my stepdad used to cook it at home and then I used the stove… So…

I meant to buy a glue gun, but then I got sick of making random collages.

In bed with the one you love after a long, long life together. Oh, yeah.

Top 5 Thoughts At This Exact Moment:

1. I want to be at home with my new hamster, Puka. Cutest thing ever.
2. Is caffeine as bad for me as my doctor said? Should I stay away from it? Will it cause me to have more internal bleeding? Would I be this happy if I hadn’t had the badass iced black tea with tons of caffeine?
3. I wish I could blow my nose, but that would just hurt waaaaaay too much. Right now it tickles.
4. Why won’t my leg stop bouncing? Caffeine?
