~Drew Barrymore

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sorry for my lack of posting. I've been extremely busy and will probably be until two weeks from now, so until then, the posts will become more sparse and spaced out.
EDIT: Please keep clicking on the ugly Google ads, my darlings, even though I know they're annoying. I'm hoping if I can make a good amount of money, this could balance out my excessive spending, but I can't without your lovely help!
