Mmmturkey.

I keep meaning to tell you a couple of stories about my mom, but I never quite get around to it.

I don't understand why anyone would not watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

I love and ITA with that british accent article. reminds me of a friends episode, where ross gets nervous and uses a british accent.
That's a really funny story about your mum and SLC. XD
My mom does that sort of thing, with movies and stuff. She still tried to hum Backstreet boys music, to be "Cool".
:D
ight snag a Herione Icon later. :D

Dear god, that "Cute or British" article KILLS ME DED.

Is it completely wrong that I kept thinking of Radcakes the entire time? Probably.

That find-the-bands thing is awesome! And wow, the Eras of Elegance stuff is just gorgeous - very pissed off that the big writing set is sold out!
