My second eldest brother is reputed to hate the most disgusting insect, sole survivor of the atomic bomb explosion, main antagonist of the anime Terra Formars, and spawn of Satan himself... The COCKROACH!!! Well, I have to admit even I despise the little pest. Nasty little buggers!
Things that should never go together:
- Fire and crazy people
- Douchebags and hopeless romantics
- Pizza and salad (Seriously!!!)
- Socks and sandals
- Brothers and evil exes
- John Green and my emotions
And most importantly...
- Cockroach and flying [Shudder]

I love Rocky Roach and am making it right now. I do have a question. On the head rnd 1=4, rnd 2=8 and rnd 3=18. How do I get from 8 to 18 stitches? Is there a rnd or two missing?
ReplyDeletethanks,
Brigitte
Hi! Made a mistake with Rnd 1 and 2 of the head, had it corrected. So sorry. T_T Thanks for pointing it out. ^^
