Happy belated birthdays to deviousli, sky_dreamer47, and silvercobwebs for the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd! ♥ Birthday hat-trick!
The bar staff job at the lap-dancing club was a bust. The "manager", Eduardo, didn't turn up and I was sat waiting for him for two hours. Cheeky bastard. Not ( Read more... )

Ha! I made a personal vow not to post anything music-related for a couple of days, but then 55170054 posted this amazing meme:
I want to have a complete soundtrack with one song from each of my friends. I'm going to upload them to my [music player of choice] and make a "Flist Soundtrack" playlist with notes of what songs belongs to who. Pick one song (or ( Read more... )
