last week's word winner:

i'm pretty ok with the result here. not that it was up to me, just that i agree with the result. i'm sorry, i'm not trying to argue. i'm just saying i'm glad it turned out this way. no, i don't MEAN anything by it. it's just that sometimes i don't get why people pick the words they do and this week, i did. jesus, i don't think the world revolves around me. i'm just happy. why don't you ever want me to be happy? you're only pleased when i feel like crap. that's it. wedding is off.
