I feel bad for everyone I've gone out with.
<br />
<hr>
I came away from 'Saturday Night Live' feeling very well represented. I felt, and I still feel like, they let me do so much stuff that I wanted to do. Stuff that I almost didn't even know what it was.
<br />
<hr>
Bill Hader does a really good impression of me.
<br />
<hr>
There's something really easy and just somehow un-crowded about the Portland airport. Every time I go there I'm like, 'Why is this so easy and sweet?'
<br />
<hr>
I loooved Sleater-Kinney like a crazy person. |
