I got rejected! elmify 2012-03-25 | Because sometimes guys don't want to dance with you. And sometimes medical schools don't want you to join their incoming classes. You just have to get it all out there, make a t-shirt and move on. Random shout out to Ibn, who ended up being the first guy with whom I ever slow-danced. And HE asked ME at the eighth grade mixer. Many awkward and un-awkward slow dances with many other guys would follow throughout high school and college. Also thanks to my dad, who sacrificed a t-shirt because I REALLY wanted to make one. :)

IN REAL LIFE: http://vyou.com And here's my profile there if you're interested: http://vyou.com/elmify Also, on the off chance you have viewed my previous New York videos and are wondering as to why the lovely Sebrina did not make an appearance in this video, it's because she is no longer staying in New York. While it's New York's loss, it's another city's great gain! MUCH LOVE, SEBRINA! :D Also also, I will fully admit that the "Hey!" in this video sounded like a Gollum cough. Hugs if you made it to the end of the description!
