1. Uh oh, it looks like Guy Cecil is here, better hide the girls before he freaks the fuck out.
2. I'll support him whatever lifestyle he chooses to lead, but I wish he'd stop being such a Guy Cecil and just admit he's gay.

Get the Celiene mug.Cecelia is a short, but amazing girl . She doesn't take shit from anyone and will beat a bitches ass on sight. She's a fighter and even though her life isn't ideal , she is genuinely nice person. A Cecelia is a very smart person even though she might not show it , she also very beautiful . She has a group of friends that she lives very much and will do anything for . She isn't the type of person everyone likes at first glance but when you really get to know her you won't ever forget her . However she can't ever see the beautiful side of herself, she is a truly amazing person .
