more than a while

it has been, huh? I don’t even remember my password, but thank God for autosaves, amirite? I’ve been sick for the past couple days, and it’s compelled me to read and reflect – let me stop myself right here: every time I get sick, it’s always because The Universe is telling me something ain’t right […]

June 1st

What up, June? It’s good to see you. What’s it been, a year? hardy har har. It’s been June for around 40 minutes now, (unless you live on the west coast where it’s still technically May) and that’s lit. I get to change my Marvel Shero/Lady Villain calendar to Spider-girl. She’s the only one in […]

Unemployed Chronicles
