Yeah, I'm 25. So what?
I brought my laundry all the way from Ann Arbor to Chicago to do my it for free at Kelly’s. If that isn’t lame enough, I realized after doing it that I had three, that’s 3, pairs of sweatpants in one load of laundry.
By the way, the answer is me. I am.
Me: Guess who is going to see KELLY today?!?!?1
Brian: I LOVE KELLY!
Brian: I LOVE KELLY!
Me: ME TOO
Brian: I! love! kelly!
Me: ME TOO ME TOO

Dave: Oh man. Getting so many boners thinking about a wet tear t-shirt contest.
Me: hahaha.

Brian has a really beautiful house with dark wood paneling and floors and rustic lighting...
23 and ME!
For once in a really long time, I actually know what I want for Christmas.

The company also designs surveys that users can complete to try to begin to understand complex...
Goodness Gracious!
I’ve been gone for a really long time, and I apologize for not updating more regularly (sorry mom, ha ha!). I guess I’ve been busy or something. Allow me to fill you in.
A little more than a month ago, I enrolled (somewhat voluntarily) in a clinical trial. The goal was to see how a chronic high-fat diet influences things like insulin sensitivity. So, I essentially had to eat...
