I'm just cuffed that 2005 has been the best year of your life.

Take that 2003 and before when Mindy didn't know me! Ha!

Am I taking too much credit here? Hmmmm?

Mindy said...

Actually I think it's because I've eaten a lot of cheesecake this year.

But not a lot lately. I think one of the Revell siblings should provide our flat with cheesecake tonight!

Interesting fact:

Mindy still has the ORIGINAL strings on her Ovation. How old is it Mindy? 3 years or something.

Beautiful guitar with old crap basically rusted strings.

And its all because the ball ends are pretty rainbow colours.

Exposed!

Mindy said...

It's about *cough* 2 months old

Mindy said...

I did not lie! Can you at least email which ones you thought were lies.

Mindy said...

I'm so confused Nick! The only ones I can see that Nick would know better than me are just ones he remembers that I don't. The only things I can think of are
- Maybe I have bought a cd in the apst 8 months. I can't honestly remember doing so though.
- I might have bunked a study class once, but I really don't think I have.
Everything else I'm pretty sure is definitely true!

could you explain the meaning of number 18.... I can't understand your terminology.

Oh and I think that 2005 is the year Mindy first knew me - not Andrew considering she knew andrew last year and clearly that was not the best year of her life.

Mindy said...

Oh don't worry about number 18, you won't ever need to use it yourself it means: "I have never vocalised a desire to **** *** random 15 year old bogans" HAHA.

Also that is so true about the knowing you thing, but I just didn't want to make anyone feel bad by stating it ;-)

Mindy said...

Hmm maybe Nick thinks I'm lying about the scars. Gosh this is bothering me.

i knew almost all those already.

I hope you realise that Dec 2002 was the best *month* of your life though....
