Not the character, the game. I hated the Parappa game... probably because I sucked at it though. With Um Jamma Lammy you could always have fun, no matter how shitty you were at it.
I am in a pretty similiar situation as you, except I have been sitting through it for months. A girl and I are like best friends and she is with an asshole boy friend that she complains about constantly and I opened up and told her how i feel and everything and she said she feels the same but she continues to go out with this dickhead!! He is such an asshole to her and if I ever met him i would punch him in the face. I hate the man for treating her like that especially when I know that I care the world about her and he is a jerkoff to her.
penny....I bet that because all those *deep & thoughtful* conversations you have with her she put you in friend zone.....sometimes girl dont need all that deep shit.
