I said that he is just so damn cute that if he was there, there is no way I would like him as my boyfriend. It would be after him and he's playing underage, so it wouldn't be a good thing, but I did write "yum yum" in the comments box. That's the only thing that I remember... He was so cute. I mean, the guy was like 20 years old at the time. "
