Hi, how can I help you?

About Me

I like mocking people and making them laugh. I like saying stupid nonsense things, and using the "running-gag". If you're officially my friend, I will burp-and-blow into your face. I use correct punctuation even in IM conversations. I can't STAND it when people mistaken: your, you're, their, there, they're... or just can't spell in gen'l. They say stuff like "Your so cute!" WHAT?! like seriously, we went over that stuff in elementary school. Oh! I like sunny-cold days. I wish I had time to sew. I love learning how to do new things. I shake the potato chip bag in search of folded chips. My boyfriend makes me smile a lot.

Who ELSE remembers this????
