Today is World AIDS Day. If you go to this site (and wait for the flash animation to finish), you can click anywhere on the map to light a candle, and in return one dollar will be donated for AIDS research.

She then exclaimed "Oh, I thought so! I just love it! It looks so SHINY!"
I nearly choked on my drink. So, okay Liz, you were right. You were RIGHT. Happy now?
*desperately hopes there are no bitchy hellgods out there looking for her*

Tegan and Sara performed in Nashville on Tuesday night! And I did not know about it until afterwards!!! Curses!! My disappointment has nothing to do with my longstanding crush on Tegan. Nope, not at all.
And finally, a sooper-sekrit message for katearbor, who is My Favorite: Friend me back, dammit! :)
