Yes. And it’s so easy nowadays. Mwahaha

Would you do something if you couldn't tell anyone?

All the time

Should you really keep your friends close and your enemies closer?

No - I need my personal space.

Do you find the need to clean your room before you do your homework?

My room is always clean, so I can gloat when Hal’s is messy.

A secret is only a secret if no one knows.

Screens of all sorts

Best line:

Han Solo: Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh… everything’s perfectly all right now. We’re fine. We’re all fine here now, thank you. How are you? Voice: We’re sending a squad up. Han Solo: Uh, uh… negative, negative. We had a reactor leak here now. Give us a few minutes to lock it down. Large leak, very dangerous. Voice: Who is this? What’s your operating number? Han Solo: Uh… [Han shoots the intercom] Han Solo: Boring conversation, anyway.

My thoughts on Amanda

Amanda is…

a genius.

She’s also…

a saint, my saviour, a freak, a complete fake, my hero, the real deal, original, brilliant, affected, a seer, visionary, an artist, gifted, kind, Robin Hood, a loner, courageous, brave, beautiful, weird, bizarre, wild, from another planet, crazy, divine, amazing, creepy, gorgeous, a chameleon, hypnotic, totally psycho, bewitching, intense, enchanting, totally hiding something, for real, vintage fabulous, from another realm, dangerous, diabolical, my friend, can’t be trusted, the most trusted, my adventure, the best thing that ever happened to me, a fake, a liar
