ELECTION-FREE OPEN POST: Everybody Stay Calm!

By

Who am I kidding, it's a stressful day. My thoughts are with all the US Peckers. Godspeed.

And please note, today's Open Post will be a (relatively) peaceful, non-election Open Post for those who very wisely requested it.

As a reward for my (almost) straight-A grades last year (okay, I got a C in chemistry) (what do you expect, I'm a cheerleader, lol), my parents just bought me a brand-new Galaxy 5000! Isn't it the most, to say the least? "Oh! And I saw a new girl from Austria named Sandy signing up for next semester and she's dreadfully pretty and I just know we're going to be life-long friends!

The older I get the more stupidly sentimental I become. Much love to these two beautiful people, Olivia Newton-John and Susan Buckner, both gone now.
