Hey Katya!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all: I'm Swedish.
Second: I wasn't actually sharing anything over at my blog (on vacation).
Thirdly: I love you anyway!!!
Oop, S, I am sorry about that! I do know that you're parents were beautiful, and they made a beautiful baby. That must count for something, yes?
ReplyDeleteI'm leaving the link in there anyway, because I hope everyone will visit PCL! Between PCL and WFMU, I get all the web action a girl could desire.

ReplyDeleteOh. You remember that! Yes I was acually a quite fat and handsome baby.
