sir links a lot


Click here to use this cat font!!

After reading the dramatic confession in my last links post that my one and only true love, the light of my life, the bread to my butter, mister Ryan himself does not like my links posts because they're too overwhelming, a friend asked me if it's rude of him not to read them, because he doesn't like them either.

Everybody, it's okay if you don't like them!! If you don't want to click on every single thing I found interesting or funny over the past two weeks, that's fine. It doesn't hurt my feelings, I'm just sharing stuff I think others might like in a very vague passive way. Take it or leave it. Whatevskies.

Now on with the show.

But only for those of you who like that kind of thing.
