That was fun to read!!!!!! Good job!!! :) The only thing that surprised me was that you don't like road trips. I think that is only because you have never been a road trip with ME! I have been know to make people laugh until they cry on road trips, and stopping for coffee like every 2 hours is a must! Wanna give it a shot?! :)
Oh..and for the record (cough cough, Laura) Andrea does own a knock-off so she can't be opposed to them. Just thought I'd throw that in! :)

Man Andrea, Jess is trying to gain up on me with this designer knockoff battle, if you agree with me I think we can take her!!!!!!! I've never met anyone who made money off of scholarships. You must be very intelligent, remind me never to discuss anything too intellectual with you! I loved your list.
