grade nine, i looked fine.

dear CHARM SCHOOL, entry, number four, hello ,

at polly a's wedding i put my elbows on the table during dinner! i made out with ollie m. under the lilac bushes. i don't think the grass stains on that marc jacobs frock you bought me are going to come out in the wash. i stole the monogrammed silverware. i polished off the bottle of veuve clicquot. i didn't use make up remover before i passed out under the a's front porch.

and i'm not sorry!

love & rockets, mew meeeew
