Stereotyping People by Their Favorite Indie Bands →
oh my gosh, these made me laugh so much:
Regina Spektor Girls who don’t understand boys.

it's raining.
i have to wake up in 3 1/2 hours to head home. ben gibbard is singing to me. and i’m reminiscing.
this semester has flown by so quickly.
i feel like there’s so much to say about it, but i just don’t have the words right now. maybe i’ll find them over the break.
all i know is that time after time, God gives and gives and gives and blesses me. even when especially...
