About me: The Jon recipe- how to create Jon: first get some green-ish/blue-ish eyes, long brown hair, and some height, but only a dash of height. Mix those with a love for God, people, music, film and traveling and add a whole cup of randomness, comedy and weirdness and you have your very own Jon!
Great for parties, road trips, awkward situations,conversations, at home, outside, inside and even just for a night on the town!
Disclaimer: although this sounds good on paper, Jon is not for everyone and there is a chance these things combined may leave a sour taste in your mouth. These ingredients are not always guaranteed to be in stock and additional ingredients sometimes form Jon, which are often good and even sometimes bad. Side effects may include but are not limited to: laughter, anger, appreciation, love, hate, dissapointment, indifference, etc.
Who I'd like to meet: Jesus and my future wife. Oh and I almost forgot, you too!
come hang out for the weekend and all the strippers and cocaine in the valley will be yours! probably, maybe... well it's within the realm of possibility.
sooo i was going to try and add you on facebook since you said you use it more buttttt i dont know your last name or dont know how to spell what i thought your last name was
Thanks. There really isn't anything to talk about. We weren't on the same page and all I can do is accept it and deal with my emotions as they come :( it sucks though. A lot.
haha the wall was a lot of fun! I always drink too much when I go there though! Ya we will definately have to do it again. Maybe go there after a basketball game again or something.
