It’s probably just as well that cloning doesn’t really exist yet, because if it did, everyone would want a copy of this girl. Once, several years ago, we were sitting on [...]

Elijah Rock Shout shout! Elijah Rock Comin’ up Lord… In the past two years, I’ve gone to bed before midnight fewer times than I have fingers on one hand (I have five fingers on each hand, in case you were wondering.
