we get these rules to follow

This may be more for my benefit than yours - but here’s how I feel about a whole lot of stuff today.

(borrowed from Sarah, again.)

Oh, and before you go … click on this, please.

Have you ever…
Fallen for your best friend? Yes, on several occasions. Sometimes it’s a great idea, and sometimes it’s just stupid.
been rejected? Um, yeah. It happens to everybody.
been in love? A couple of times. ‘Tis definitely better to have loved and have lost, by the way.
been in lust? Absofuckinglutely. Although (to tie it in with a conversation I had last week) it mostly happens after I get to know the person.
Cheated on someone? No, never. I think it’s a shitty thing to do to someone. I have also never been the “Other Woman”… as far as I know.
been cheated on? No, thank god.
done something you regret? I’m much more likely to regret stuff I DON’T do.

Who was the last person…
You touched? PWe
You talked to? A toddler who answered her mom’s phone

you yelled at? Eli, during closing night of 7 Strangers
