but i just found someone special
and that's really something special
if you knew me

so, basically last night was the most fun night of my life. i know i can't possibly get even half of it down because so much happened and i'm terrible about remembering things like this, especially the morning after, but i'm gonna try.

so, yesterday started off awful--my brother had a party thursday night and he and his friends basically trashed my ( Read more... )
