Hmm. Yeah, so I'm kind of an idiot. I smacked myself in the eye with a car door tonight. Three hours later it still hurts like eight bitches in a bitch boat. But if it turns into a shiner I'm gonna come up with a badass story about getting into a bar fight. With ninjas. "Yeah, well, you oughta see the other guys. All twelve of 'em ( Read more... )
