I also read a lot of fiction online... some of which is better than stuff Amazon recommends... so if you're into popular fiction check out The Chamber. (My favorite authors are TokenBlackGirl and BlackMamba, but there are lots of good people writing on there...)
And because I love yall, I'm posting my shelfari bookshelf on the site. So keep track of my reading and maybe even join and be my friend (hint: Jean).
* denotes a damn good film adaptation... I liked Tom Hanks and The Da Vinci Code, but Angels & Demons ruined it for me...

feministy...I've heard that somewhere before...
it is right... actually it's not but the pic i wanted was totally restricted... fucking privacy issues.
uh, yea... someone i know totally uses the word feministy a lot... apparently it's freaking seeped into my brain!
Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
I am the sort of guy who enjoys to try original things. Currently I'm making my personalized photovoltaic panels. I'm managing it all alone without the help of my men. I'm using the net as the only path to acheive this. I stumbled upon a truly awesome website which explains how to make photovoltaic panels and so on. The site explains all the steps involved in solar panel construction.
I am not really sure about how accurate the data given there iz. If some guys over here who had xp with these works can have a see and give your feedback in the page it will be grand and I would highly treasure it, because I extremely enjoy solar panel construction.
Tnx for reading this. U guys are the best.
Thank you :-) look at that emo boy one over this blog:
