jamon serrano is a type of ham from spain. The best kind is from a pig that is acorn fed. It's the only thing that would possibly make me stop being a vegetarian because it is fucking delicious.

hey if i didnt use crazy words i wouldnt be the rosa that we all know and love. i would be some kind of normal person and that would suck.

i totally agree, rosa. it's all it good fun, and you could say that it's one of my weird quirks (and that of my friends as well) that i make fun of people i like. i wouldn't like the rosa that i know if she weren't the way she is.
