3!! Accrding ot this very sceintific poll (from Teenbeat Magazine) I am happy and normal!

Now I hardly register on that scale, but 2 years ago I was at the top of it. I hadn't slept more than 4 hours in months, lost 20 pounds, I had a fully thought out plan for ending my life. Scary.

Was that because of or in spite of RobB?



Surely I jest.
