Fun fact
: I love naming my cars after Tolkien characters. My first one was Samwise Gamgee, then Bill the Pony (it was a bit old and slow), and now I have Peregrin Took. I call him "Pippin"! I also love swing dancing. I also LOVE this little Youtube video, not because I like kittens - I'm actually more of a dog person - but because the little girl is so freakin cute: Kittens inspired by kittens.
