Do you people just not see that the cicadas are the punishment for this abomination? The cicada plague, people, the cicada plague. Be afraid. Oh, and **Eve**? I am a knocked up single gal just waiting for someone to make an honest woman out of me. I would like to say the the couple on the front page of everything - that first couple to get their license - is a friend of a friend and I would like to also say that having seen the blonde with no shirt on - he is cut like a marble statue. Mmmmm. ---

Sorry - the only pictures are in my mind. Plus it’s been a year or so since then. Also - I don’t want to imply I have any intimate knowledge of him. First, I’m a girl. Second, I was just at the same club as he and it was hot. Damn hot. So lots of people had on tanks or were shirtless. Well, except for me. My tits would have grossed most of the boys out. ---
