I hate birthdays. I hate birthday parties. I hate them. I don't know what it is, anybody's only got to come wafting near me with a piece of cake with a candle on and I break out in hives.

Everybody has a bad hair day, but us girls still like to be told we look nice even if we don't feel like we do.
