Happy Birthday kittybecca! If anyone sees a frantic message posted from my LJ name or sent using any of my chat IDs claiming that someone is being held hostage and starved, it’s just Shelley. We put her on Iams Active…
Katie & Filters & Home Stuff & Books
shadowkatt celebrated the Chinese New Year with the folks from the martial arts studio tonight at an Italian restaurant. There was one other female at the party, but otherwise lots of testosterone. They all seem like polite guys, happily. We’re…
