Pilgrim's Progress Report: Week Two
To be honest, I’m finding Tumblr a little confusing. Everyone has these cute site names and no one has an email address and I don’t really know which of you are in high school and which are 45 years old. (Though I know which of you have babies and/or are alcoholics, because parents and alcoholics talk about their obsessions equally frequently.) Still, so far, any confusion is well...

An Open Letter To The Producers of "Ninja...
bigfuckingexplosions: After doing some research, I uncovered that a German company provided some funding for the film, but really, the ninja hub of the world is Berlin?

Basically, you are all getting fat from eating fast food...

"I am now in 6th grade, I am devastated."
If you for some reason feel the need to have a great, purging Thanksgiving cry, I have just the thing for you. (Do not proceed if otherwise.) Perhaps you are an actress who has run out of motivation, or maybe you are just pent up? So this terrible news brief about a high school acquaintance of mine who was killed last week was apparently discovered by his current elementary school students. If you...
