Capture your life in six words
rach: amritsingh: Apparently, six words is all it takes. At least, according to Lizzie Widdicombe.

suitep: dalasverdugo: buchino: jaredm: Portland ties San Antonio for #2 Most Lustful City in America. I guess I’m not surprised, considering we have the most strip joints per capita in the country.

Tumblr, you've gone on and changed without me
peterwknox: dailymeh: Tumblr has updated again. And it rocks, again. If you want to go exploring, consider this post a SPOILER. Highlights: Radar’s back, now not the latest posts, as the earlier version did, but some more editorial control, at least partially based on stuff like reblogs. Dates!
