Sally Hansen Press On Nails

Up until 2008, my life was neatly divided into 30- or 60-minute sitcom/ cartoon increments.

Nails

My nails are atrocious. Unless I vigorously scrub all traces of imperfection off. Until the show ends and the pain has subsided.

It seems that everyone I’m friends with is better friends with someone else, and that really freaking sucks.

It’s good to process my thoughts.

Easier to grasp brain-flies and swat them away.
