Is that skill seen like when someone can tie a cherry stem into a knot with her tongue?

Brava!

I was weirdly proud when I saw you on MHP. . . .like you were my play-cousin or somethin'

I liked the last season of Lost. . .

I will say, though, that being the strong one is NOT the business. Let yourself grieve and be sad, sloppy, a mess. I am so…
