Kind of. I dated this guy my junior and senior year of highschool. We did some pretty awful things to eachother when we were broken up. But I seriously cared about it, so its why I kept going back to him. Until I decided to break it off for good. I had a lot of bad feelings about it for a while. Eventually I just let it go and now I can look back and not care about the stupid petty hs drama. Really weird, he liked my fb status today after not talking to him for months and months. So good job w/ the question mgross! hah

I walk around a bunch everyday. I intentionally just walk up and down stairs at work. but thats about it. It's pretty sad

20) Having you been following the news stories about Congressman Weiner?
Oh good heavens. Just a bit. I find it ridicous that someone with the last name Weiner was sending pictures of HIS weiner. like how did not see this coming? I also heard that the 21 year old college student he'd been "involved" with was voted most likely to be involved in a scandal in high school. So.... way to prove your classmates wrong girly!!
