So jealous. So fond of your word choice mensch!

Especially about Rachel Maddow! Would love to hear!!!

Well this is the best I’ll ever get! I don’t have posting privileges at Jezebel, so please please share away!!

I’m terrified that I’m going to reach a Swifter-loves-Aubrey-Plaza level of obsession over Anna Kendrick. She is amazing; I’m concerned that I may need to start toning it down.
