Describe your ideal significant other :: I'll describe the reality of my significant other. He's sitting on the couch watching the rose bowl game. He's wearing homer simpson slippers that look like they're eating his feet and a bath robe and sweat pants. He's giggling about something. Silly boy. You are darn cute, though.
Last thing you Bought :: a shit load of stuff at good will. i thought I had scored big and found some nice respectable things to wear to school, but the jokes on me. I gotta take a bunch back and return it because the clothes didn't fit after all...the salwar kameez did fit though. It's pretty.
