Did she just not notice the menstruation stain on her pants before she put them on? TIMATOV.
The most handsome man I've ever met with the most amazing smile I've ever seen. He has a great personality whether it's how funny he is or just how he's the most honest person I've ever met. He talks with the cutest little southern accent that just gives me puppies in my heart. He knows how to make me smile when it seems like I'm having the worst of days. He makes me feel safer than anybody has ever made me feel before. He's fun to hang around and can do some of the goofiest things I've ever seen that I just can't help to love. He cares more than most and will do anything for anybody that won't take advantage of it. He's gone through a lot, maybe even too much, but he continues on with his life and prospers. He's a future pbr world champion ;) He's the kinda man you hope to have in your life for a very long time, if not forever. The kinda guy you would love to have as your best friend, your boyfriend, or maybe even your future child's father. The kinda guy that I just absolutely adore and am proud to call mine.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
