In this world,
We walk the roof of hell
Gazing at Flowers

Splatoon会 was a success but having that many girls over screaming and shooting each other in the game brings out personality differences in our cats.

This one girls likes Coffee too much and won't leave him alone. He hid upstairs the entire time yesterday. He's back downstairs now but cautiously

Nobuo Uematsu should be a household name. I just wake up randomly with some of his songs in my head for no reason and it is always a welcome experience.

If left to my own devices, I will just sit and eat an entire package of Biscoff. Add a hot cup of tea and my self control reaches absolute zero.

I live at the the top of a big, solid hill and we never feel these earthquakes unless they're huge.

I always see people posting about it and I'm like "what"

My dad just messaged me to complain about how stupid he thinks Trump is and that Trump is stealing from Americans for his own selfish interest. Based.

I feel so lucky my parents have good politics.
