I've been considering posting some more personal things here for a while now, but wanted to get your opinions before pressing … [Read more...]

25 October 2010 By
Oh, hair bands. LOLWe're only 6 days out! My god, the time has really flown.I can still remember the day he proposed as if it happened yesterday. The way he jittered on the couch before saying the sweet things that led him to being on bended knee and asking me to be his wife. The way I expected absolutely nothing and was so proud to have seen him walk across the stage to accept his MSMSE … [Read more...]

While I find this pig to be a bit pretentious, he does bring up some interesting points. Not that he covered everything (after all, the eyes of prey are set on the sides of the head to see predators before they attack, and predators' eyes are set in front to see their targets... and our eyes are pretty firmly attached to the front of our heads!), but the points that he did make are accurate.Enjoy! … [Read more...]
