Hey there. Yes. You, there sitting in Beijing on the computer.

SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER!

I have to wonder - what were you thinking? That my World of Warcraft account, because it hadn't been active for nearly a year was fair game? So sorry to disappoint. NOT!

See, I may not have been active in the game, but I have friends who are. Friends who know ( Read more... )

Ok. I've tried to explain my love for this show before. But I don't think I ever -quite- put it across well enough.
