BEST BOYFRIEND I'VE EVER HAD:
Keith Peters: He is funny, thoughtful, romantic, and cute. He is the best boyfriend EVER!
WORST BOYFRIEND I'VE EVER HAD:
Crispin. He was obsessed with "playing cupid"...I often caught him late at night hovering over my bed in nothing but a diaper aiming a real bow and arrow at my heart whispering, "Tear it up...tear it up." I developed serious insomnia and decided it was over!
IF I WERE SINGLE AND COULD ASK OUT ANY NO-FI "STAFFMEMBER":
Oh, come on now! He KNOWS who he is!!!

FAVORITE ALBUMS FROM 2004:
INTERPOL "ANTICS", ATTRITION "DANTE'S KITCHEN," WILLIAM SHATNER "HAS BEEN," SKINNY PUPPY "THE GREATER WRONG OF THE RIGHT", PIXIES "LIVE IN CHICAGO, ARAGON" (only 1000 in existence and it is official, so I believe that qualifies)
BEST GIRLFRIEND I'VE EVER HAD:
My last one, Daintry. Even though we're broken up now, she was the coolest and most supportive woman whom I ever dated. I'm sorry it's over, to be honest. She was the one. Or could've been, anyway.
WORST GIRLFRIEND I'VE EVER HAD:
For the anonynymity I will use an alias -- let's call her ANGELA. Angela drank too much. She tried to jump out of a moving car and bit a chunk out of my arm when I put her ina headlock to keep her from doing it. Healthy, that one was.
IF I WERE SINGLE AND COULD ASK OUT ANY NO-FI "STAFFMEMBER":
Amy Voorhees, cuz she thought "The Frighteners" was cuuuuuuuuuute.

Chris, because he's dreamy and I'm attracted to power.

FAVORITE ALBUMS FROM 2004:
Me singing in the shower (Ok, I need to hear that on CD to believe it ~ editor)
BEST BOYFRIEND I'VE EVER HAD:
Best bf is the one that I have now. He challenges me every single day. He doesn't always give me what I want, but he gives me what I need. I can always count on him to be there when I really need him. He inspires me to do better in my life, and to fulfill my dreams. And he has a nice cock.
WORST GIRLFRIEND/BOYFRIEND I'VE EVER HAD:
Worst bf...beat me up once..I KICKED his ass and dumped him....publicly. Enough said. I think that that is pretty much self-explanatory.
IF I WERE SINGLE AND COULD ASK OUT ANY NO-FI "STAFFMEMBER":
Who would it be?: Well Chris, I think it would be you?

BEST BOYFRIEND I'VE EVER HAD:
Seriously, who dates only one person at a time, who can narrow it down and who wants to?

IF I WERE SINGLE AND COULD ASK OUT ANY NO-FI "STAFFMEMBER":
I would ask out myself. Because of course I know I would treat myself nicely and be a good time in general. I would show myself a sufficient amount of lovin. Also, I am awesome, sowhy not?
