Blueberry? Bran? The apply kind with the sugary stuff on top? Just one muffin? Do we all have to share it? Do I get it on alternate Thursdays?

🙂 heh, I never said we didn’t make you that way, the fact remains however…that:

“Your room is comfortably small  
with rubber lining the walls  
and there’s someone always calling your name.  
He calls when you’re alone  
and he calls when you’re not home  
and he calls when you’re stuck out in the rain…”

Don’t forget

3a. Women fight all the time.  
3b. The purpose of a woman is to flip out and kill people.  
I’m serious. My friend Mark said he totally saw a woman uppercut some kid just because the kid opened a window.
