About Me

(20:40:32) maccalvin5: explain yourself
(20:40:54) that farah girl: on a cold day in january of 1980
(20:41:11) that farah girl: my parents copulated on one of what I like to think of as only three separate occasions
(20:41:39) that farah girl: the resulting zygote gestated for nine months
(20:41:59) that farah girl: and was born on september 19th of that year, to little fanfare
(20:42:19) maccalvin5: fair enough

My favorite meal ever, despite conflicting reports, is a toasted onion bagel, with cream cheese, red onion, tomato, and smoked salmon, and an arnold palmer. Fried chicken with spaghetti is a close second.
