whyohming[Cody sits down at her computer, cracking her knuckles and attempting to fill this in. She'd like to tell herself that she doesn't follow anyone elses' example, but then she would be lying to herself. So to "mentally" prepare, she takes a long sip of her Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale and begins typing away.]
