(From the C'mon dude, I had to tell SOMEBODY, so I might as well tell the family department)
See, there's this girl.
(oh boy, here we go...)
Shaddap you. This is a good story.
(grumbles)
Better. Anyway. There's this girl I've been talking to online and off for a week. I haven't met her. I know practically nothing about her except that I really, really, really like her.
How do I know this? I've proofread her papers. This is not a euphemism for sex of any kind. I've quite seriously proofread her finals. Yes, I did this for fun. Yes, I'm strange.
I'm glad I did it. Her brain makes me go all squishy.
I'm meeting her for the first time tonight. Because my social skills are better online and on the phone than they are in person, I needed an ice-breaker. So I made her a CD. This is it. May you find it illuminating.
Brought to you by the guy standing behind the suave motherfucker standing in front of you. The one with the glasses and the annoyingly plaid shirt. Yeah, him.
