interesting as always. it seems to me that the most of 2011 was spent in hatred. i will not allow that in 2012. you will keep me on the straight and narrow. i know you will. in your words i see the negativity of me. keep writing

I knew I could count on you to write something beautiful. I have a friend that has the same phobia about worms, it extends to slugs and snakes, I guess it’s the no-legs. She eats Sgetti tho.
