So I'm really into "Freckles." Song was originally done by Natasha Bedingfield, but I am obsessed with Jordan Pruitt's cover. In other news, Kathy Griffin is hilarious and definitely not a D-list celebrity. I haven't heard of a person who hasn't heard of Kathy Griffin.

Also, I really hope my parents let me bring my car back to Cincinnati. oh please oh please.

I hate delays. I experienced it quite a few times and I know how annoying it is. I'm sorry you had to experience this though. =(

I despise delays. I remember when they first stopped allowing liquids on planes. We had to wait FOREVER!
