Garbie says

All I can say is that my personal heros are Printsez Blue, Reece Ikle and Cartwright. For the longest time I was on my own around here, it was getting harder and harder to keep up with everything that was getting thrown at me. I was in a pretty dark place. Then those guys came along and said "look, you don't need to deal with all this anymore, we're here to help." It was amazing, they totally took on whatever I couldn't handle anymore. They worked out a division of labour amongst themselves and really got things done. After that, things were different. My load was definitely lightened. Heck, I even lightened up a bit. Yeah, you can pretty much see into my soul now. I'm okay with that.

The other thing that's really cool about them is they don't judge me. I have to hang out with a crowd that the others just can't associate with. Someone's gotta do it, I guess.
