Their love was like a forbidden fruit: tasty

I love you so much I almost forgot to brood.

About Me

I may have a Jewish name, but Im not really Jewish. My parents named me after a Jewish character in a Jewish musical. I will probably be telling this story for the rest of my life.I'm a brunette, but I have lots of blonde moments. I use the word "yo" way too much. I'm pretty elitist, but I'll try to hide it from you so you won't think I'm too much of a jerk. I believe everyone should see as many foreign films as American films. I call everyone I love "sexyface." It's kind of a habit. I enjoy pretention in small doses. Spicy cheetos are my biggest vice. Also, I have been allergic to peanuts ever since I came back from England. Thanks alot, England. Jerkface.
