Love that movie
@a girl I wonder if you’re my boy? I was thinking the same thing about me and my boy and this super-long separation that’s coming up soon right as we both finish finals :/.
It makes me want to sing that song the schoolgirl sings at the end of “love, actually” that makes the schoolboys ogle her and made me itch to hear Mariah Carey.
@commander has lost sanity.

@a boy oh well I’m a boy and I have the girl and I’m pretty excited about that. I’m also incredibly upset because we’re both headed home for break and we live so far away. And Columbia just had to have this really crazy long break this year so we’re apart for 30-something days!
