Dear common brown grasshopper that I am calling Bill...

( I'm just a Bill, just a lonely ol' Bill. And I'm sittin' here on your rose bush with A MILLION OF MY CLOSEST FRIENDS. )

I stupidly went to the mall yesterday (while sick, dumb, dumb, dumb) but instantly left after pulling on the first pair of jeans in the dressing room caused me to break a sweat.
