[madeinoblivion]

I vote give it to the cats.

hey- Um....so I'm out shopping, with Kairi. What do you want for Christmas?

[pullsheavendown]

No.

Uh...I don't think I'm supposed to just tell you what to get me. Am I?

[madeinoblivion]

Give me some ideas?

[pullsheavendown]

You already know the kind of stuff I like.
