There are so, so many people I could put in this spot and they would all be justified. I’m going to have to go with Fred Burkle because, holy shit she’s awesome. I was introduced to Fred in a bit of a summarized fashion. Julie wanted to make me watch Angel, ( Read more... )

Christmas was actually lovely, despite being hectic. On Friday we the girls had our xmas party, which was full of friends, food, presents (thanks for the Florence + the Machine Katie! I’ve already listened to it several times through), and randomly, the Little Princess, which was really fun to watch in a group. Christmas Eve, I backed out of hiking ( Read more... )
