I can rely on myself (O.H. contintues…)

chanson, March 9, 2009

The next morning I called up Joe and Sam to ask them if they wanted to go to the mall. Mostly I wanted to get myself a Cat Stevens album after the movie I’d watched with Andrea the night before. It turned out that Sam didn’t have to go to…
