Meeting at Starbucks, as always, and running into a certain Anthony. Being wished happy birthdays by the...
Jenny-ready to take on the world?!
Finally get to see my best friend! This is the girl I used to ditch classes to go to Venice Beach with. We skipped out on 0 period journalism everyday to go to Starbucks instead (this class started at 7 a.m. daily, mind you). This is the girl I…
Went to get tattoos with.
Smoked with (both senses).
