I smiled the WHOLE time I was reading that BLOG. I was reading YOU! The infamous "O" and she was delightful. Although...you are one short of 100 (hehehe) 94 and 95 should be combined; I think that you are psycho-ly pretty.

Damn, I can't get over how that was descriptively YOU! You're a poet, artist, writer, and beautiful person. I'm glad to be your roommate and be allowed to get chips and guac with you :-)

Ok, few things from big brother.

First, watching me with my girlfriend just kind of freaks me out. But I hope you learned something.

Second I had sex in that FVL booth (remember colleen?)

Your name is 2 syllables, 3 sounds pretentious.

I want to be a fairy princess also

It is defiantly soda, but you don’t need to get into a fistfight over it.

I am glad you weighed more than me at birth (9 lbs, 8 oz I think)

I would kick your ass in Mario Cart

The key to cruisin’ the ave is picking up the chicks (which I never did)

From experience, if you miss shrimp and lobster on New Years Eve, the apocalypse is near.

I never got away with dress code violations in high school. Survived at a healthy 85 points, never to low, never to high.

And she did dance with coconuts; I have the pictures to prove it.

Oh and one thing you might not know about me is that I ended up getting in a fistfight at school, gave the guy a bloody nose and Mr. Reynebeau did nothing to me. (I am lucky I didn’t get my ass kicked).

Ok Paul, that was a *little* more information than your sister really needed to hear (whole FVL thing).

And I would like to take this public opportunity to announce that I will take your sorry Koopa ass on ANY day in Mario Kart. No one beats me! Mwah ha ha ha.

Well you started it with the whole "I watched my brother with his girlfriend" being put in the top 100. I am not sure if you remember her little brother jeff, but he did the same thing.

How do you fold a thong?

I look great in hats too - We HAVE to go hat shopping.

I finally discovered the secret mystery about foreign men... It just took me 20 years longer than you.

The big ass is a big hit for Latinos. J Lo look out!
