It's the general reading thing that really matters. But still, I'd probably bit a bit nonplussed if my fiance whipped out some Candace Bushnell or something and started reading away.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942269316108576622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13166465.post-26730393336458674152008-03-31T14:15:00.000-04:002008-03-31T14:15:00.000-04:00Heh.

It's bad enough that one of his favorite movies is FIGHT CLUB, which, although the company in which I saw the film cannot be surpassed, is still one of my least favorite.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09632290213115423477noreply@blogger.com
