Just a Quick Poll Here…
Okay, I'm posting this because I genuinely want some opinions from the good people of the internet. I've been under some fairly heavy stress of late.

Grown-Up Quiz
I have no shame when it comes to stealing ideas from other people's blogs. I used to do it all the time on my old blog. Back in the day, I had this crazy idea about blogging every single day. It becomes hard to come up with new things to write about if you're posting … Continue reading Grown-Up Quiz
Question of the Week #9
Would you accept $1,000,000 to leave the country and never set foot in it again? No, I don't think so. I kind of like living in the US. I like having the wi-fi.
