I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

Hey Punk,
New York City doens't really have many unwritten rules but if it did, perhaps the first would be:
"Don't Talk Sh!t about New York City"
And perhaps the adendum to that would be:
"Especially the day before you go there"

Girlie
City
God
Country
In that order.
Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

Does that mean you're back in Gotham soon?
We're out in Thomkins Square Park every Thursday from 6-8. Surprise me. Lots of hula hooping and some poi. Actually some cute hooping guys there too.
Unless I'm in Scotland. But you can surprise me there too.
Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

Woah, people have been posting in here?
Wow, I just popped in to update my intro and all...
And flid posts a hot guy with a bowl of poi, NYC is making threats (When did you put God before anything, NYC?), as is Vanize (although he carried through on his) and Birgit is flattering me.
I need to pay attention in here more.
Oh, and Sparkey, what is yummy...the poi or the boi?
