Me: are you hearing anything weird?
      someone is jiggling doorknobs
Anna: I’m not home
         Good thing I locked my door!!
Me:    Well I’m not sure if running up and down the stairs in just a sweatshirt and startling Koreans was too effective on my part but the noises did stop.
Anna: Lol good! Did u do it to scare them or for ur exercise?
Me: I did it to catch them in the act!
      Then I guess I was hoping someone would show up and take over

“However fierce our band was in the past, imagine me, six-foot-two, in heels, fucking screaming into someone’s face.”

These are the CD’s I own from Against Me!, who were introduced to me when I was fourteen by my cousin and I consider them to be one of my favourite bands.  I have so many memories of listening to their songs again and again and associate many of them with certain periods in my life (Tonight we give it 35% can also be coaxed out of me when I’ve been drinking). The lead singer recently announced her intent to transition to the shock of many. I’m pretty sure I’m still going to get great music so I don’t see the problem. I look forward to adding more CD’s to my collection. Rock on Laura Jane Grace <3

Played the adult version of Apples to Apples tonight called Cards Against Humanity as a drinking game. Everyone on the transit home must have thought I had an upsetting night. My eyes are crazy red and puffy from laughter tears. We were wildly offensive with our answers. 

I am proud of my decision to come home early though, Sports Day tomorrow and Blue Team needs me at my best!

Something you do every day. Grab my ipod as soon as the alarm goes off and set it for a later time.
