Every time I read this, you’ve changed it and it still makes me laugh OUTLOUD. It makes me want to read it out lout to people and then proceed to point at the screen with pride in my voice and say, “I know this chick! Isn’t that amazing?!” :) As always, a pleasure, Kara.
Aw, thanks for the compliment like a week ago! I’ve been so freaking swamped with school and weekend fun, I meant to get around to typing out this response forever ago. I’ve never been “the funny one” in my group, so it means a lot!
I like your sense of humor. It’s very refreshing and honest. Best of luck in school!
Aw, thanks so much! Usually I just get called snarky and self-centered!
