hermitage

my bad. in a moment of weakness (which I don’t really consider weakness. but it feels like it) I truthfully “liked” something from my tribal past. shouldn’t have revealed myself. it was removed. fb glitchiness (which definitely happens) or people glitchiness (also which definitely happens)....

nother haul of supplies from my BOX to the ville and rambling about my new toy post toilet drop

16 Mar 2012
