Be sure to correct me if I make a mistake!

You've already got me:)

Haha, we have 3 July 18th birthdays! And July 18th turned out to be basically the best day of my life :)

May I ask how?

Oh, yes haha :) I went on my first date (well, it was more of a friend date or "frate") EVER with the most amazing guy in the entire world ... Everything was completely perfect :) we went downtown and walked around and then went to the movies (didn't see anything though) and then just drove around and then he came in my house and we hung out for a bit. I seriously want to marry this guy haha. He's exactly what I've always wanted in a guy. He's just ... It's like every one of his flaws are what makes him perfect :)

Aww, you're lucky:) All the guys at my school are...erm...not my type...

haha same here. but he's a grade older than me and unlike anyone else. we were in theatre class together :)

Sure sure. :P

What, it's true.

Yep, we all beleive you.

That's cute. I hope it works out for you two:)

Mine's May 2 :)

I hope it does too :) I seriously ... I seriously want to marry him :)

Mara wrote: "Yep, we all beleive you."

If you are implying him (yes, I used italics because I can), I do admit to liking him. I also admit to no longer liking him because I get to know him better and...eh. *raspberry noise* So yeah. A flaw on my record.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO EMILY S. AND LAUREN!!! Hope you guys have a fantastic day :)

Happy Birthday both of you!!! Here's your cake:



(Shut up, I made it myself.)

It's lovely Ashlyn! hahahah

Thank you very much:D

May 23.

Ok guys, I'm going to do this new thing too. I think it'd be nice if I could give you guys a call on your birthday! So if you guys want a call from me, please message me your phone numbers (I will block my number when I call just so you don't have my number) and I'll be sure to call to say happy birthday!
Of course, though, you don't have to do this because I know my mother wouldn't let me give away my number to strangers :) But I promise I will not share it with anyone or use it more than once (unless you okay for me to call you again).
Also, if you guys just want me to call you for any reason at all, message me your number and I'll do that. Again, I promise I will not share your number so it'll stay a secret
And I also promise I'm not an old guy pretending to be a teenage girl so I can kidnap children (read: pedophile). :)

How much would it cost for you to call someone in Ontario? Hahaha, I don't know, it might be expensive for yo to call people far away. But still, calling us is a super sweet thing to do:)

Haha I don't know where Ontario is but I have a cell phone. Does it cost money to call people on a cell phone?

I'd assume so. Long-distance. And, Ontario is a province in Canada. Are you in Canada?

Will it warn me as I'm calling that it'll cost money?

I don't know because I don't have a cell...I think it depends where you are. If you came to Ontario and then called me it might cost less than if you called from wherever you are. But again, I'm not too sure.

Okay, message me your phone number and I'll try to call it and see if it charges me or not

Sorry, my mom's on the phone right now. I don't know if I'd be allowed :/

I know! Google knows! I'm going to look it up for ya.

Alright, here's what I got. It depends on your long distance plan. And apparently it's less if you make calls on the weekend or in the evening. My guess would be anywhere from 3-20 cents a minute. But it depends more on your plan.

I have no idea what my plan is haha. I have unlimited texting and limited data usage. Is there anywhere on my phone that I can figure out what my plan is for long distance calling?

Wow, two birthdays today. Happy Birthday guys!

And that I don't know. What brand is your phone?

iPhone 4s. I think that's a brand? haha

Apple is the brand, or company.
Okay, well that didn't help. So, I'm not sure.
But the internet might help.

I tried searching on my phone but I have no idea. Where is Ontario? Is it in the US or what?

Ontario is a province in Canada.

And because I'm visual...
[image error]
This is a map of Canada and the one labeled "Ontario" is (quite clearly) Ontario.

Not done yet!

And there's Ontario above the US (I'm pretty sure you'er in the US, right?)

Anyways, Geography teacher out.

(Why do I feel like Justin Bieber is from Ontario?) I'm in Tennessee. Does that count as long distance? haha

(I think he is from Ontario.) And that would definitely count as long distance. I'm super close to Ottawa, so just look at the distance. using it.

Hmm. Well whenever you can, send me your number and I'll try it.

And seriously, Ashlyn, that roleplaying idea you had was genius

Okay, I'll make sure I'm allowed.

Lol, thank you. It was just a sudden thing I thought of and I wasn't sure if it would be any good.
btw, I LOVE PATCH. GIVE HIM TO ME.

hahaha that made me laugh out loud. but NO HE'S MINE. I love him and I am keeping him :)

*sobs deeply*

*pats you on the back* It'll be okay. Just go to the roleplay so you can enjoy his fictional presence ;)

I'm gonna roleplay as myself and kidnap him. I'm holding him and Maroon 5 hostage.

hahahah you crack me up Ashlyn. Go talk to him as Ellie and maybeeeeeeeeeeeee it'll be fuN :)

I posted something I think.
*stalkerface* I'm waaaiting for a replyyyy

really? Hmmmmmmm lemme see

Hey look at that! I never knew I was that close to Ontario.

Where are you?

I feel so far away from yall hahah

I didn't realize how close everyone was to ME.
