The cheesy the dish, the more I like it. The best dish I make is Mother Johnson's chicken tetrazzini. Mother Johnson taught me how to make chicken tetrazzini. I added my own touches to Mother Johnson's chicken tetrazzini. My favorite recording artists are Ruth Fortson & COP and DM Adkins & the DM Chorale. My favorite basketball player is Jonathon Hall.

I dislike it when more than two people lead a song. I can't stand it when a whole praise team decide to lead the praise song. I stole a highlighter from the store.

My grandmother's favorite praise song is "I Made A Vow To The Lord." My grandmother likes to hear me play that song. Mardell Coleston broke up with me when I told him I was attending Maddocha Beach University. He was mad because I wouldn't be able to be his primary musician anymore. My mother has always told me that I should sing more often. I don't think I sing that well. I think using computers that are obsolete should be illegal. I want to name my son King Solomon. I will be married before I have any children. Sometimes, I hate being a woman. I like playing fast songs. The faster the song, the more I like playing the song. I will not drink pink lemonade.
