I Got 99 Problems...


Ashley, how many problems can girls possibly have to do SO many different posts about it! You know what, I here you. I do. I know that several editions of these have gone out, but this is one I've been working on for a while now. The others were specific to certain things, this is more like a compilation of non-specific things, you follow me? Well, don't worry, NOTHING is repeated here, so you can keep reading without completely wasting your time...
