I decide this pretty much every Olympics, but then I forget and think I like pairs the best. But I only like pairs second best. And [...]
So this is where all the cool kids are hanging out. I’ve had an internet presence for several years, largely on Livejournal. But that’s always been more of an internet-community-fandom-based journal; most of my friends over there I met over the internet through our mutual love for the TV shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer or [...]
