Quotations


Dude! My mom has pictures of her favorite musician, in her refriderator!

Everyone feels embarrassed, but when you laugh it off, it's fine.

Tigerbeat Magazine, Issue of August 2006

I am a beach person. I love the water! I swear I'm a fish!.

Tigerbeat Magazine, Issue of August 2006

I found some coconuts! I can climb up the coconut tree and grab the coconuts.

I guess the ice princess has come back from the North Pole. And back from where she always is during vacation.

I used to be a boyscout. I think I'd know how to make a fire in the wilderness.
