The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time

It was recently brought to my attention that i have been forgetting to put quotes in my emails. im sorry to all of you that like the quotes, and i know thats most of you because most of you have told me so. thats why today i am giong to make up for all those lost quotes (which is also good because my best websites are still down) and i dont know if i am reapeating any or not, but i guess that doesnt matter so much as long as i choose only good quotes. enjoy!
