yes! i am back. i didn’t lie to you in that last post, i’ll be posting regularly once more.

the thought of jimmy’s penis is like a basilisk … it turns mortals to stone.
this was pretty much my last weekend in chicago. next weekend i’ll probably be in wisconsin (gross). that also means i probably won’t post next week because i won’t have access to a scanner, and i’m way too busy this [...]

my friends pointed out to me how INCREDIBLY GAY this cover is. and … ok, yeah, it’s pretty gay. but it’s like, dumbledore gay, [...]
