I Love Twitter You Guys
Because Twitter is where magical things like this happen! [View the story “The Adventures of Pander Man!” on Storify]
I Have Some Busy Weekends Coming Up
For the record, I’m not doing this as a #humblebrag or anything douchey like that. I’m writing this down as yet another reminder of all the crap I need to do BECAUSE I’M OLD AND I FORGET THINGS OKAY. This…
