Minus points for not editing the numbers. There is no 27, for example.
That said…..plus points for making me think “how the hell did she end up with 40 even after cutting questions off the list”
A cool thing is that i met you not once, but twice!
yeah man, you’re SPECIAL ;)
… or i am
Nah im just a “FUCKING ARGENTINEAN”
Good thing i can laugh at that now. I was pissed when you told me that over the phone :P
wow o_O i can’t even remember the context to that!
that’s cute
lots of love :)
why jessica alba?
cuz she’s hot :D and she was in sin city!
fair enough :)
i actually read an article somewhere about how she complained that she never gets ‘interesting’ parts where she can showcase her talent vs her body
all parts she gets involve her being half naked and sexy
and she’s jealous that natalie portman, for example, gets cool parts where she can act and not show off her body, so alba wishes she would get more offers like portman does.
this random fact was brought to you by teh maha
please, stay tuned for more stories right after this commercial break.
w00t! 12-24mm goodness! :D and yay for you and tim! :D
and natalie portman gets the good parts because she can act. if you can’t act, you show your body. it’s like, “hey i suck at acting. but… look! titties!” works every time.
“32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably satisfying?
tim staying in toronto for the summer”
i second that… being in L.A. for four months was almost a total bummer (with short respites e.g. olya’s visit and sailing with my buddies/brother), and for not much of an increase in productivity (it was a work trip).
