i wear blue tights with red shirts, and yellow tights with everything else.
and what's worse? i have teacher hands.

i am losing the fight against the scholastic world at a rapid pace.

even programmed to produce offspring with vein-y teacher hands for generations to come.

You are incredibly smart, witty, and I'm sure you could blow this girl out of the water with your vast repertoire of SNL doozies(sp?)! Keep up the posts baby sister!
