See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
And that Scottish accents are sexy.
You couldn't figure that out on your own, you had to learn it from a book?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Hey, there, little miss sassymouth, I was nine too! I was just nine and sick a lot and spending my sick days curled up in front of the TV listening to the dreamy fake Scottish guy on my mom's favorite soap.

Let me just say that popularity with people on public transportation does not equal literary respect. --Jesse
