A Heart Of Plaid And An Oolong Liver

So I haven’t been on this site in...years? Lots I forgot about. Apparently, some additions to one of my Spotify playlists gets posted here. That’s funny.

Oh, and I’m married now! So that’s exciting. Apparently I was dating Robert when I was last on here, as he’s in my cover photo.

This isn’t like, a big return or anything. Just a fun little visit and an unplanned update.
