So, this post will be in this blog only, because other blogs are frequented by the person this post is about.

Virgin Mobile stole 37 dollars from me. I yelled at them for 2 days (tuesday and wednesday) and today I called my bank and filed a complaint. They decided to call Virgin and have me try, one more time, to reason with them. After hearing their people talk ALL sorts of smack, and their refusal [...]

The Passion of Aremesia — Susan Vreeland

Girl in Hyacinth Blue — Susan Vreeland

There are only [...]
