*overexcited must calm down*
I'm nice? YAY!!!! and smart and weird and close and sweet... YAY!!! I knew about smart and weird but the rest are news to me! *cheers*
Also: Come On Eileen is possibly greatest song of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!eleven!!!one!!!!
Are you telling me you've only gone three kinds of illegal drugs and one was underage drinking? *headdesk*
Absinthe (wormwood intact). PCP. Underage drinking. Pot. And every mental hospital drug known to mankind, taken illegally, but I didn't count those. Too many.
That pizza sounds frigging amazing. Someday we will meet and you will prepare this pizza for me and I will kiss you for it.
And er... swallowing didn't occur to me for that list. That's probably a better answer, though calamari beats it out as my all time favorite taste.
And my mom and Neal, huh? Can't fault you there.
Whoa!
Date: 2004-07-06 06:00 am (UTC)The Pizza IS frigging amazing. "If you invite me, I will come" and fix said pizza. But you'd probably better not kiss me. I'm on the fence about the whole bi-curious thing anyway - wouldn't want my heart broken!
Swallowing likely occurred to me because of the events of last evening. Which is a whole other lj entry, I think. Other than that, the only food I can think of that I eat that grosses people out is tofu. I'm so pedestrian.
Re: Whoa!
Date: 2004-07-06 08:16 am (UTC)And fine fine fine *pout* I won't kiss ya. But I do want pizza!
And yeah, I'm still excited about it!!!eleven!!
