PFFFFFT

my hero

[nohalfway]

ive been known to be noble to those who deserve it
and im assuming
just because you cant turn a corner without some sort of junk food being there
that this place is filled with candy and hot dogs and soda and i have literally no self control when it comes to that
so yeah
im a major puke machine
