I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
She seemed to be trying to convince herself that nerdiness was okay, but not quite succeeding.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah:
Only if there's no stretch fabric in them.
