[ki11y0urs3lf]

Hey which disgruntled ex-drummer is this? The bigot or the jock lol

It's actually me having a convrsation with myself. He/I is right. I wantd to be Kurt Cobain very badly and I play Kurt Cobain very badly.

[killy0urs3lf]

that is a lie... Chris Thong (kaine) got hit in the head by a dart. when he was a teen... b4 him and yar ever made Left Spine Down... That term comes from the way Chris likes to keep his cds, Left Spine Down allows you to read the name of your cd, and stops them from falling out.

[maddlysane]

i LOVE this band!
