I’m <span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>sorry</strong></span>, I’m <span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>boring </strong></span>, I <span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>have no witty ideas to post about today</strong></span>.</p> <p>2. Why do I have <span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>children </strong></span>and not <span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>mannequins instead</strong></span><span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>?</strong></span> (The upkeep would be <em>way </em>easier and they wouldn’t keep outgrowing their clothes.)</p> <p>3.

I hate that fucking dinosaur).</p> <p>5. I consider myself lucky because <span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>I have never been the victim of organ theft</strong></span>.</p> <p>6. One day we’ll see <span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>if I’m still so lucky</strong></span>.</p> <p>7.
