Date: 2010-05-31 07:35 am (UTC)mmmyep. I used to have amazing powerrangers and superman ones when I was a little kid, and my mum found some grown up superman undies a while ago and bought them because she got all nostalgic and whatnot. I just thought it was rad.
mango and lamb and mint go really really well together in a summer salad. om nom nom.
pft, my thighs look like most other people's thighs. well not yours I would imagine, but like regular boy thighs. woo hairy legs. (that and my jeans today arent really the kind you can roll up. too tight dammit.)
yeah, thats my excuse
