[you’re cute too] {{{{{{{Iampunha}}}}}}}because he needs a hug and because he’s a good person to talk to and I miss talking to him online. 😛 {{{{{{{soulsling}}}}}}}because he listens to me bitch about stuff I can’t control and gives good advice. {{{{{{{{all the rest of you dopers out there}}}}}}}because I like hugs and you know you all deserve one. ---

I haven’t heard from you) with a hoop of steel sounds something more like Andy Sidaris’s work than William Shakespeare’s. Not that I’m complaining.[/sub]** ---
