Well, number 8 is what I'm trying to do, but its really hard to avoid the person that makes you unhappy.
well mate its good you wrote these up, but i've have already been doin this for a long time, and yep it sure does make me happy
i can add a couple more, i think. video games, sex, photoshop, more sex, an xbox 360 or psp, more sex, oh! and more sex anywayz great list there, imma try to use it!
Im sorry but I take offence to anyone who pushes religion of any kind. Good for you and all to belive but I dont need someone telling to belive in that crap. And if your taking offence to what Im saying remember your the one who said "get to know god", thats disrespectfull to anyone who doesn't belive or does not want to belive. Anyways the other 12....For the most part I do all of those...Im still not happy
