@Kayden_Kross Now, THIS is worth Tumbling…

DC retweeted me once and I felt like I'd won an award. I suspect her calling me an amazing writer would result in some form of spontaneous religious experience, like stigmata or an erection in my brain.

In fact, I'm tempted to say "I wish I was clubkayden," but I can't. I'm not a big fan of rabbits, for one thing. Makeup and all that gym time looks like a giant hassle, too. And then there's, y'know... all the penises. I'm no prude, but a man has to draw a line somewhere. The only way I would fellate a dude for money would be if I got drunk, blacked out, and came-to face-down in the lap of a urine-stained hobo named Ernie on the curb outside the Blood Bank... and there's no way that could ever happen to me twice.

So, um... congrats to KK!
