Just another weird day in the weird life of a weird girl with a weird nickname. Today’s adventure? 53 strange-ass questions about me and my food and my favorite things and randomness that just… well, yes, I did find this meme on Tumblr… why do you ask? What do you put on…
Life
via Text Message
So, if this post looks a little different from others, and had an unfortunate auto-correct or two, forgive me. I am Swype’ing this from my phone. It’s mostly just a test. But in it, I wanted to bring up a recurring problem in society today, something that happens via text message. More specifically, it happens…
Sugalard
One part ice cream. One part crunchy cookie bits. One part creamy drizzle. One part chopped nut or crushed candy or fruit or… Sugalard is our creation, and it is very much a reflection of us. Our relationship. …

Modern Feudalism

¡Feliz Cumpleaños!
¡Happy Birthday! Haha, okay, I don’t need the upside down exclamation point when typing in English, but I sort of like it. Alt+173 = ¡ (just in case you wondered how to type it on a PC). So, tomorrow is May 12th. At 8:43 in the…
