26 (Yes, I did originally say 25). some Chinese phrase that I mumble to myself occasinally that some of you try to repeat, such as bu zhi dao (I don’t know), wo shi mei.guo ren (I’m an American), and wo bu hui shou zhongwen (I don’t know how to speak Chinese)—for those of you who are too afraid to ask me what I’m truly saying.

jess… I blatently love this. I mean really though? Really?! This list rocks… literally, this is the best thing ever! ACTually, the best thing of the millennium. So you saw N. last night, was he like… you know… strugglin’… you think? I’m not bitter that I didn’t go—too tired and had too many issues. Seriously, I did. Honestly, I’m goin to kill C.’s cats… goodness! At least have some allergy shots! Whatevs… but back to N. Nothing sketchy? (or sketch for that matter?) scandalous? Anything?!? If not, sweet. If so, dude, I don’t know what to do. I guess I would have flipped if I saw him. And then you all would have laughed and mimicked me saying, “really, just like that?” but bowling wasn’t ghetto? And was N. being retarded? (oh wait—I’m NCBI!) It kills me that you saw him. Ahhh!! I’m such a dork to write this… meh! I hope you go ba-haahaa at this… and hey, go easy on anything raunchy this weekend. (Just kidding…)
love ya, jessie…. And I REALLY “wo bu hui shuo zhongwen)
funniest thing that I have EVER read!!!!! Really, really though, I blatantly over use all of those words cause literally, I have no vocabulary, so I rely on those words to get me through the day, I am obviously strugglin’ cause actually, I cannot speak the English language cause “wo shi mei.guo ren” meh, whatevs… I think that I am honestly retarded (NCBI) and my flight to Israel is on some ghetto plane… sketchy! I think that my trip is going to end up being super scandalous, oh no, at least there’s only one dork… that girl kills me, she always makes these stupid hand movements, and I am like, really, just like that? Seriously, I hope that no one is bit cause that would suck and honestly, I don’t care about anyone’s issues… goodness. The trip should be sweet, hopefully not too much raunchiness. Talk to you later dude!
