Re: [DL] what would you do?

Just one thing comes to mind right about now.
A name.
Little Bitch Scilari(mispelt maybe)
In my honest opinion, I wouldn't call them friends.
I personally wouldn't even go near them. They just
wanna be gamers in my opinion and I think they bring
the title of gamer down. Hell in the area that I live
it's already Baneful title. Thank you Christian
Church. The messed up thing is I'm a better person
than many "Christians." But that's an entirely
different Rant.

Oh and Ben?
I honestly don't want to change characters. Rupert's a
fairly cool character. I just was being stupid last
weekend and I appologize for it.
