very unlike me, i actually cried when i found out kurt cobain killed himself! nirvana was my 1st concert ever and that band and their music had a huge impact on my life. and i really think had he not killed himself we would still to this day be getting new music from nirvana. were you a nirvana fan?

yesterday was my 3 year anniversary with the boy. i feel our relationship is really strong at this point and i'm happy. 3 years is such a long time for me. if you think about the person you were at 21 compared to 18...or 18 compared to 15. i don't think i've changed in positive ways over the last 3 years. right now i feel...
