Didn't you say oo-gle? Or was that ob-loong? In any event, there's more fun mispronunciations and misspellings yet to come...
Yes, yes...more to come. I think my folly is that I read and write to much...gotta practice speaking. Crap. No one has ever called me out on my fobby mis-spellings, pronuniciations and accents except my sister. =( I don't know if that makes you special or especially annoying. :P
especially adorable.
...and especially "creative" and "good-looking"...
(gee, forget complimenting the girl...keep piling it on with your own self-accolades!)
=P
I think I recall complimenting you more than once in person... but none of those are repeatable here.
