baby stick a fork in me

Friday 30 March 2007 | I like a cookie

I’m supposed to let Hawaii know my decision today but I’m just going to avoid all possibilities of communication and stall for time, which should be easy enough, because it’s my birthday! and I’m off to see the Cool Psychiatrist and then do something else with the Brujo which I don’t […]
