MissNine: He looks really good for his age.

Me: I like this song.
MissNine: Why would you name yourself after an insult?
Me: Bands are funny.
MissNine: Did you know that some people put shrimp oil in marshmallows? You would never think that but it's true. You just have to have really good tastebuds to know.
Me: Wow.
MissNine: Clouds are pretty.
