    I can't figure out where in my house that picture was taken... :0 scary I have never yet had the resolve to grow my hair out. I decided upon it a couple of times but about 1/8 of the way in I ran to the barber to make myself decent again.

    Vegan means you don't drink milk too, right? So I doubt he'd eat eggs. I meant general diet :0 not like just today. Recently my mom's been out of town. My dad and I couldn't cook a meal for life or death so we've been eating out much.

    News Australia predicts China passes US by 2015

    What Are Some Unusual Phobias of Everyday Objects?
