What's up? Feel free to take a load off, kick up your feet, and take a look around. I'll just be off in my own little world if you need me. This blog is just a mishmash of a lot of different things. she/her. white.
My one friend group can't stop saying, "See you in hell!" in a cheerful voice instead of, "Talk to you later!" and my other friend group can't stop calling things "penis" instead of "cool" or "good", so I just unironically uttered the phrase, "Sounds penis, see you in hell," as I got off the phone.

I am so ready for the Jason hate. The best part of being a Jason fan is that Jason isn't a good person. All these people trying to make him the cool protective older brother are especially annoying because he's tried to kill both of "his precious baby brothers."
