you know, the same old story..
we met while we all studied nuclear science at some posh university.
no, really we met at a cafe in Manchester.
no it was at university. No, it was at a gig somewhere.. or maybe a festival.
actually it's quite sad, we met online..
wasn't it at a drawing class? no, while we were out in the park photographing the sunset!
to tell you the truth, we met during the war..
no, it's just cause our parents know each other!
our cats know each other..
and now we do too!
and I think we're quite happy about that!
I am anyway..
