this video also helped me recommit my girl crush to nicole.

so yes, according to eric, my penchant for all things white and flowery is really just my insecurity and need to feel like less of a slut.  

so there you go:

but the most valuable nugget of gold i learned was, even though i had a birthday this week, my short, to the knuckle, fingernails, apparently still render me a child. 

what does you favorite flower say about you?
