Kind of a gay nickname for an adult though. Maybe you should start smoking, get a bunch of tattoos and gold teeth, start calling yourself Roach.

I was called Jojo 15 years ago.
Now they just call me by my real name because my familiy isn't handicapped.
>>9425135
understandable actually
if a book makes you feel that way you know it was good

My friends call me Roach. Nothing to be worried about.
