The I Only Read Classic Literature PersonBlech, this type of person makes me want to give a swift throat punch as soon as they start talking. NO ONE reads only classic literature, and if you say "oh, Mrs. Monologues but I do" you are full of shiat. Everyone reads other books, even if it is Harry Potter.

sweet summer's daddy passed away on the 24th. please join summer's friends as we have a day of silence to honor her father.The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.

Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.Psalm 23:1-6 NIV … [Read more...]
