So, after five years, I've decided to move on to another journal, disorderly_mind. I'll still maintain grave_medicine for a while, at least until I decide to make the move completely or that this one isn't working for me.

They remade Halloween?! Blasphemy!!!

My cousin's girlfriend asked me if I paint. I just smirked and said, "Walls." I love painting rooms. I also get bored with colours after a relatively short period of time.
