can't say that i'm not judging you for not coming up with a good bible reference. I'm taking vocab club and friendship club points away from you. i'm currently winning as vocabulator and friend ;) all we need is a little more competition in life, right?
let me get this straight, just because you came up with a better religious reference, you win not only as vocabulator, but as friend? apparently, the two are equivalent. next time i don't have time to talk, i'll just use a difficult vocab word to make up for lost time. if i miss your birthday, i'll just use the vocab word in more biblical references, and that'll be okay?
