*
accents are hot (except the annoying ones) -- finding a way to allow me to live abroad legally is hotter.
*

*
mayonnaise = not cool...period!
*
as far as i'm concerned 60s mod fashion is always in season

*
i secretly want to punch slow walking people in the back of the head
*
as far as i'm concerned, pomme frites topped w/cheese, crepes filled w/nutella, and sangeria are all part of a well balanced diet
