The last event I worked at was the "Water Party". I have to admit, that was educational and fun, so I didn't mind. Before that, there was David's family reunion, which I was only going to do because I really needed the money at the time; I was just about broke, ready to go into my savings account to buy food. Dragging Shemmaré along was an afterthought, but it made it less painful.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE96V5DDQG
