(we kept them in their "Chris poses" for months if not years) (also he drew me a cartoon I can't find which said "TO DANIELLE AND HER FUTON!" with a little cheerful guy on it) (also he got me on stage to sing along with "The Joy of Sex" and Ira from Yo La Tengo said "nice singing" to me afterwards)

Fun fact: Oliver Driver was at school with me and he was even very tall at primary

I really did fuck her over, three dogs constantly wanting to be her big stinky friend (or in the case of Tiny Dog, her slightly smaller stinky friend)
