[gaim-migrate @ 5544] This is the wave of the future! Or something like that. Imma go eat cake later! Yay happy Easter!! Oh crap, I'm probably going to get in a lot of trouble now. Holiday references, y'know. They're illegal'n stuff. Or something like that. Personally, I like Christmas, but it's just too near my birthday, you know? The presents should be spread out. Birthdays are cool, sometimes. Halloween can be fun. Free candy! Society says I can't trick-or-treat anymore though, so I take my little sister around and get candy. Mmm.. Like stealing candy from a baby, except we share it. So it's not stealing, really. Voluntary. On her part, not mine, because it'd be stealing if it was my volunteering to take her candy. committer: Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
