> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Homebrew \* > \*\*Ah, another PING on the Fag-Hag/Fag relationship, **auntie em**. I loved Level 42. \*\* Whence cometh this use of _past tense_?

Back in the day, I bought both Milli Vanilli and Vanilla Ice CDs. And when my current BF asked why I had them, I said that some of my ex BF’s sister’s CDs must have gotten mixed up with mine. Is there any hope? ---

I love Smallville. When I’m running late I’ll usually skip brushing my hair until after my first class. I figure anyone who is awake enough to critizise my “style” deserves the punishment. ---

I have never watched “Friends”. The only thing I know about any of the cast is the blonde use to be on Mad About You. And I have only seen bits and pieces of Seinfeld. I didn’t find it all that funny. I still enjoy catching a buzz every once and a while. A $20 baggie lasts me 3 or 4 months. ---

Hey **jjimm** , me too! The video for “Cry Me a River” came on before I left the homestead this morning… I found myself boogying. Justin Timberlake is 21, right? That means he’s 13 years younger than me. Is it _sick_ that I want to jump on his bones? ---
