Bring it girl!

Too bad you'll catch me though, because, due to my foosball playing, my door opening ability is second to none!

You should take up puppeteering then. You have a behind-the-scenes kind of face anyway.

Well, I have a lot of time on my hands. It's very relaxing. I watch t.v and sleep.

If you're trying to make me feel bad, it won't work. I was only joking. You have a lovely countenance. If I wanted to be mean, I would have made fun of your name. I would have been like "LeBrad? What is that about?" and John Lynch would have been like "Yeah, I would so clobber that guy" and LeBron James would have been like "Who am I? Some kind of basketball player, right? I hope he isn't trying to be like me cause basketball is even more boring than foosball" and Pepé Le Pew would have been like "LeBrad has a countenance lovely, no?" Okay? You win. I'm sorry. I am not mean!

Some of you guys are such cogs. I've got plenty of free time, and I do what humans were meant to do: eat, screw, forage, and rest. I've gotten into skincare lately, too. Maybe someday I'll be a dermatologist. Or a bomber pilot.

I rant in my free time, ineffectively summarizing anything I learned.
