At 8:14pm on June 29th, 2008, Nora said…: Yes off. Where else would I have kicked you? Monday was lovely. It'll probably be years before we can find another time to hang out.

At 8:17pm on June 12th, 2008, Nora said…: I completed and I didn't fall. New York tomorrow! Yew shud reely werk on yer speling.

At 6:58pm on June 5th, 2008, Nora said…: It's actually dandelion, not with an i, an e. Anyway, I can't cause my cousin is getting married on that day so it would be a bit difficult. I'm going to try to go to the next one though. It sounds fun. Yeah, darkroom is over.
