  7. your mess is irreversible; you can't escape your past.
    I’m just one of the many things that fit in your closet.

    How come every time I hold one of these 30 word contests, I get maybe 3 good entries, but you hold one, and you've got a whole buttload up there?

    So not fair. lol

    Congrats to the winners!
