Not sure y'all play just cause I give ya money, buuuut you best bet my jives will be tested without fear come in person meetings! That said, I may owe an apology to folks like Anna SmithSpark cause I may desire her to read to me a bedtime story and im not sure how such could not be odd if not creepy. Hahaha Thanks for the laughs on embarrassing ourselves for the sake of friendship with our favorite writers! Hope to join the ranks one day officially.
