More reading and writing, please. Home is quiet and strange without my dad here, even though towards the end there he wasn't making much noise ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning around 5:30am, having had a really great dream about being best friends with Natasha from ANTM, who was invited to Russia to run a marathon.  I went with her (although the accommodations consisted of some sort of camp in the woods), and while jogging early in the morning, came upon a royal convoy.  One thing led to another, ( Read more... )
