As I get older and older, which isn't really that old, I find that lists are my friend and help me get things done.
My best friend Amanda gave me the book LISTOGRAPHY for Christmas, and now lists are more fun than ever.
As Amanda put it, A equals B equals C, ergo, A equals C.
I want to be a good person, but I also want to live a life without regret. I am learning not to regret anything. So far...
