      You (we) should definitely dump that broad in the rubbish bin and find one that actually makes you (us) feel comfortable playing it.. Good luck with that shit tho! Each and every one of em tells me how stupid my exes are and she'll never get tired of it.. Yeah that *_sounds_* good but they all end up shooting psychic hatred at you which causes your spidey senses to tingle from the next room and since you can feel that hatred in her for your loud passion in life it's awkward as fuck.
