"You know something?" he asks her. "What about?" she replies. "I was feeling a little bored today, so I went onto eBay and had some fun comparison shopping." "Okay. So what's so special about that?" "I decided to do a search for you." "Uh-huh... and?" "And... I found nothing." He looks at her, cheeks flushed... Continue Reading →
And I said, "You know, life's so complicated now. It's like, there's so many things happening -- there's just so much sh*t. But you know what? I like it this way.
