some nights you find yourself passed out in the booth of a swanky hollywood nightclub filled with celebrities, only to be woken up by a security guard and immediately throw up the last four champagnes you shouldn't have drank.

and then the next day you open your fridge to find that it is full of delicious leftover wedding cake.

And I won't lie and say I've seen everything he's done, although I've meant to. And I've only watched Cold Mountain once, in theatres. But my love for ( Read more... )

Miss Popularity

I remember how you used to tell me what to wear
How to act, how to kiss boys
But no one would be kissing me
I’m no miss popularity

You carried your premature cleavage like a pro
My use was to applaud the real star of the ( Read more... )
