Thia: Behave yourself, or I won't write you porn.

Thia: ... I don't know, is it working?

(Also. belu is cackling over the bad fanfiction. That is... disturbing, in among itself. Just saying.)

Facebook's We're Related application just sent me an April's fool joke, about how President Obama and I are fourth cousins. Best joke I've got on this day in a long time.
