Bubbles.
Read more: Bubbles.It’s 2005 and I’m curled up on the faded, blue carpet of my bedroom floor, back against my bed, eyes glued to the tv on top of my dresser.

The problem with pierogies.
Read more: The problem with pierogies.To everyone’s surprise, I’m back (in a timely fashion, too!). I think my first post was a little too advantageous.
