I’m beginning to suspect that I might be **umkay**. I’ll let you know the minute I start claiming to be in a wheelchair. ---

Unless she was breastfeeding after scuba diving, had a devotee en tow and money was falling out of her arse, it wasn’t her. ---

I saw her too, and I loved her. She was a guy who was walking around and touch typing, right? I saw her too. ---

I need to be real with ya’ll: I am **Umkay**. I always hated how unpopular I’ve been on this board, so I felt compelled to concoct a nice little darling whom everyone would simply **adore**. I needed to feel loved; even if it was ‘by proxy’. ---

If umkay’s wheelchair was on a massive conveyor belt, and the belt’s speed perfectly matched the speed of umkay’s wheelchair wheels, could umkay attain a speed sufficient to take off? ---
