          —“Who says you need to be sixteen years old to be cute? Sixteen year olds can’t even drink! Where’s the fun in that? None, I say. None at all. Being sixteen is overrated. Age is overrated. Do you know who people think is the shit and is not sixteen? John Stamos. I would do John Stamos better than any sixteen year old could. And I can drink. With John Stamos. AND ANOTHER THING. How is putting your hair in a ponytail considered something sixteen year olds do? When you’re seventeen, are you banned from wearing ponytails forever because you aren’t sixteen anymore? What the hell. I want John Stamos to do me over a kotatsu while drinking beer and wearing a ponytail. Me wearing the ponytail that is, not John Stamos. ACTUALLY, no. I want John Stamos to be wearing a ponytail too.”

Shizuku Ninomiya, though I'm known as Nino around these parts."
