My unpopular tumblr food debate opinion
faithandbegorrah:
lams:
Cheese is gross. From Velveeta to Boursin.
You are:
a) Lactose intolerant.
b) Making a sick joke.
c) Dead to me.
You can only pick one.
Um, clearly you are c) dead to me
Alternatively you could be, a) because you miss it soooo much- but if you are that pathetic, I stick with c) dead to me.

Florida Group Wants to Ban the Birth Control Pill-... →

“Did you forget that not 20 years ago the gay population of the US inflicted a deadly epidemic disease on themselves by way of their own sexual immorality, ahem,...

Book Review: Devil's Kiss by Sarwat Chadda
As with all great tales the categorization of Devil’s Kiss is entirely beside the point. I increasingly find myself reading Young Adult Fiction, and must admit that perhaps the faux cover of a younger intended audience (I am guessing the median age of Rowling and Meyer readers is about 28) allows the author more freedom to play with characters, setting and overarching themes.
