Working in a game and unresolved psychological issues (maybe)

dude. We are like already so absolutely uber smart and awesome, and we are like, totally carpooling from Jo's house. (We just have to figure out dinner, which might be a tad interesting).

And thanks about the ticket--that'll be PERFECT.

A frisbee game? Plz to be explainin' how this be working.

Well, back in the day (ie, 2004), ILL was being all done on the paper, and we'd be having lots of piles and stacks of the paper everywhere for no good reason except for it to be doing ILL. So we were to be tossing the paper.

This is too hard. I can't do it. La dee da dee da.
