Like Billy Joel said, I've reached the age where competence is a turn on.

Turns out I have not won after all.

It's so fucking hot. My last few days as a twenty one year old are literally melting away into a pool of discontented stickiness.
The good news is that I think I have won. HAH!

One confession
1. eh.

Chocolate. Murphy wants. Murphy wants all sorts of things that are going to make her terribly upset. With all their prettiness and smugness and smooth skin.
Cheers.

Murphy, kaha thha na paani chala jayenga!

Murphy is a stud. And is bored. Murphy is so not going to do well in her Corporate Law paper this Thursday. She's more concerned with her hair and not as pleased with her hair guy as she was a few days back. It's too short from the front! And is curling! Murphy has one more holiday before she's expected back at work and has to go buy yet more hair-pins tomorrow. Since she left all of hers in a friend's blazer pocket at The Wedding.

Hee :)
