COME HELP ME DECREASE WORLDSUCK [UPDATED]

Specifically, I will be working in Philadelphia to try to get people to vote for my friend Peggy for State Rep. And, in the process, just generally trying to get people to vote.

I know what you are… Continue

Weird dreams lately.

I mean, seriously. I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with my brain.

Sometime last week I had this dream in which I was an ear piercer. And people were like "I WANT MY NOSE PIERCED" but I was like, nope *pierces ear in 6 places* 8D. It was really strange. And the ears bled in my dream. What?

Another dream I had was one in which I was held captive by some creepy old man who gave me water bottles and not enough food. He was really creepy and always touched my hair and… Continue

Why is Hank Ignoring me?! Hey! This is my first blog without the word "blog" in the title! Wait. Oh no!

Is it just me, or does Hank ignore all of his friend requests? I've been on the ning for months and he's ignored me from the beginning. He probably just hates blonds. :( Kidding. He's blonde. What did I do?!? ARGH!

Short blog, but this is bothering me. I don't do well with rejection.
