is evil, evil stuff. I feel like shit, pardon the pun.

I know a girl online. She’s witty, she’s smart, she’s talented, she’s absolutely full of joie de vivre. She graduated valedictorian from her high school, and was accepted at a prominent ivy league university, where she continues to do brilliantly in a very difficult curriculum.

I got this out of NooNoo’s diary. (Why did you have to name yourself after a teletubby character, NooNoo? I always feel silly calling you by your username.) What obscure animal are you? Sugar Gliders are nocturnal In the wild they eat mostly fruits As pets they love sugar cubes and other sweets They’re very…
