Barns? lol
Killians. hell yeah.
i think you forgot me. i mean i guess i could be considered one of your "successes" but, i mean, felicity huffman got her own line, so i think i should get one too.
success?
well, i guess converting a crazy wannabe kirstin dunham into an even crazier wannabe... ... uhh... something else could be considered such.
i'm thankful for having red hair and my grandma's lasagna. I hate two huge pieces last night. mmmmmm
