  1. I have not once heard you say "wowza."
    I've heard Florida isn't all that great a place to live, but I also heard they pay no income tax?
    I don't hate you (lol). But I am not a fan of Vera Bradley either.
    I am also anti-circus.
    Don't burn your journals. Or do. But don't.
    #74 and #78 = Me
    I'm sorry you lost your friends. I'm sure your violin honored them beautifully.
    I also have conversations with my dog--I respond to myself in his Booker voice.
