A woman with your talent SHOULD treasure the memories that keep you down here on the planet with the rest of us. Humility is to be cultivated!

I think I am like, 100 years older than you or something but, you have good taste in movie pictures that generally relate to your posts... Second. Man, back in Alaska we didn't have any of this girl and couple skate stuff! Or, I was just waaaaaaaaaaay too dorky to even notice it, because I was jammin' out to "Funky Town" and "I Love Rock and Roll" and "We Got the Beat" in my roller skates with neon laces AND my matching sweater and leg warmers. I would have SOOOOO been there with you, being dissed by the cute older cool guy, slamming into walls... But hey, I just realized I put my shirt back on inside out last night at about 1 am so...take THAT stupid too-cool-for-kim guy! Dude...I just realized I need that bonus CD...going.to.Amazon.now.
