Well you guys are wanting me to post about something other than how much boys on tumblr love me— which is a funny phenomenon by the way, when you think about it. I have always written to you about the things that happen to me, the ridiculous, hilarious, sad things that make no sense, and of all of them, what is funnier than people who don’t know me declaring their love for me on the...

Amusing. Also gives you a sense of the efficiency of the genetic system we have. That’s a fuckload of data.

A tablet PC that can’t run Flash is nearly worthless. How many websites don’t have flash elements?
