Wow, what inhibits you!? I say nothing for that matter. I have no jeremiads except that I wish there was more! There is so much passion in your notes that no one could misinterpret this for disingenuous nonsense. Every word has a meaning and the didactic quality of it makes me just want to fulminate with happiness. This complements the burgeoning career you don't have in mind for the future because I know you want to be a fashion stylist and not a professional note taker. But have you ever considered it? I mean really, you could never make any faux pas (I want this to be plural sounding but if I add another s it won't look right and if I add an es that too won't look right so I trust you to just pronounce it right:)) because you would most likely become an introvert and take notes all day but still never lose your natural tan! You would never have to deal with bauble anymore because I know the fashion world has many fashion offenses, myself included. Well I might be an opportunist and take this career path to better my future. Imagine schooling, what fun! well adios muchacho and I hope you enjoyed this little excerpt from senor Hannah.:)
