TOTALLY something I would do/may have done/will probably do within the next year:
And my current theme song:
I'd like to meet:
"Like trousers, like brain."
"Her life almost certainly held chocolate rather than sex, and while she was not in a position to make a direct comparison, and regardless of the fact that a bar of chocolate can be made to last all day, it did not seem to be a very fair exchange."
The caption for this pic was originally "le sublime Jonathan Rhys Meyers." I really see no need to elaborate.
He's Mick, if you know what I'm talking about, AND I THINK YOU DO.
As Rachel says, I would still have Dave Wakeling's little ska babies, even though he is a lot older than me and wee tiny with a bit of a belly. I love him so.
*cough cough* Swoon! Delicious Pat Roddy!
I would go gay for her. But I also wouldn't mind just hanging out with her, and trying to soak up some awesome.
These guys make me wish I was possessed, so I could have an excuse to make out with one of them. Or both of them. I'm not picky.
Fqueee!
