Hi there. That's a nice t-shirt you are wearing, or not wearing. Have you been working out? I thought so.  So, here's the end of our journey. The long and winding road has come to its close. And yet, we're still here, together. but guess what, bitch? I'm letting go of your hand! ICELAND:  COME VISIT. WE'RE BROKE.

Iceland says GOODBYE to McDonald's! I can only imagine how heartbroken the country is about this tragedy. They probably listen to Celine Dion and mope. also- I've been listening to a lotttt of Britney Spears. I feel like we finally click now. and after years of enduring jokes comparing me to her (SAME NAMES) it feels so right.
