Cheddar Cheese and Chocolate Cake
I am crazy about rich, dark, espresso coffee. I
am addicted to extra-sharp cheddar cheese and
chocolate cake. I never tire of window-shopping
or munching crisp apple pies from Burger King. I
can consume a whole package of Wheat Thins while
curled up reading a favorite novel. I wear purple
eyeshadow and pink nail varnish- always. I love
to laugh and scream for joy, to sing at the top
of my voice. I like to play heavy rock loud
enough to burst your eardrums. I like crazy
parties, whipped cream, and solitude. Juliet
Gainsborough
