Get the feening mug.Most interesting fob you will ever meet and will never cease to amaze you. She will try to ship you with (usually Keisha's) people you can never even imagine yourself with. She is also a very caring person but gets much less appreciation for it. No matter what she says she will forever be a yeehaw and a fop.
