About Me

So close to Shepherd's Bush. . . Apparently I'm a strawberry: "Face it, you can be wild. You're the first one to suggest skinny dipping even if it might get you in a jam. You're as classy as a rose, but without those prickly thorns. With a personality that's big and bold you're the cream of the crop! Unfortunately, some of your very best friends may feel small in comparison-- but remember you're still the sweetest of the bunch."I edited my profile at MsPremade.com . check out these Myspace Layouts!
