I think that "snail mouth" video changed my life. It looks like it has a tongue! o.o

You may have spotted its radula! In most snails, a radula is a rasping plate covered in small rough spikes, used to scrape up food on hard surfaces or get a grip on ones that move. In many predatory species, the radula is modified to act as a drill, and in the cone snails it’s become a venomous harpoon!

hi my chance of competing with other blogs who wanted you to check them out would be thin, but yeah the cliche, would you please check out my blog? or probably rate them. one last thing would be, you have a really spectacular choice of music. alright, lavyah xx

I have never NOT checked out a blog that asked me too, no matter the day! So of course, and I must say your posts are awesome ;)

Oh, I'm horrible at rating blogs, but hmm, maybe "8". I like your theme but it seems a little common, and yet the colour of your theme go really well! Most of your posts go well together and reflect who you are, which is the most important part! So there you go.

Oh and thank you! I'm glad you like my playlist C:
