Jenny P: Aren't you excited to shoot in China next week?
Me: Actually, no not really
Jenny P: What? Why!

Me: Hahahaha yeah, that's not gonna fly

0354pm - for you.
i have no idea as to why i am mad at you. on one hand, i am being a horrible friend - exactly what i said i wouldn’t be. i said i’d be there for you, no matter what. that, you could do whatever it is that you needed to, to get over this. and that in the end, i’d still be here. on the other hand, i didn’t realize how tiresome this...
