& patiently waits for DQ LOL Hehe
-
-
LOL you always give me something good, the chances of you being DQed are like... really slim. Unless you abandoned poetic devices. Then I'd have to just tackle you.
-
-
Hehe lol, don't be too sure, I think I recall a really mean comment you gave me once hehe. But it was a pathetic entry.
-
-
lol I gave you a really mean comment? -shrug-
What can I say? I'm (brutally) honest (at times).
-
-
Hehe lol, yeah I agreed with it though, just back then [like one month lol]. I used to take things too personally and not try and learn off them
-
-
lol We've all been like that at one point.
Were you the one that did the double && thing? I remember you doing that.. But it doesn't make sense I read it as "and and" didn't make sense. But otherwise I remember liking that poem. 
-
-

-
