A secret dream of some far-off fantasy place. Aren't we all small, potential superheroes? Maybe not everyone, but I can think of a few people atleast. The people I know would save me, they are my superheroes.
Man. I think I just found a piece of heaven, even if my mouth was totally fucked up afterwards, it was amazing. Best time I've had in a long long time. Thanks for everything g..n.. :D:D:D Infected Mushroom are really good.. live with some heaven, oh god, mewant!!
