"...end up liking what coastal white kids in media like for the next 5 minutes."

Then people's gripes about several elements of Twilight have no bearing.

1.) This episode was awful. I was already in a bad place with the knowledge of the opening scene in Feyland and it did not pick up.

I've loved guys since I was 3 years old. I remember liking boys in preschool, but my first crush, there were two actually, in Kindergarten were both named Keith. Keith R. was brown skinned and brown eyed. Keith S. was light skinned with eyes that changed color. Completely different looking black boys, but I had a…

Holy shit. That kid sounds creepy. I had to read that 3 times to make sure I read that right.

I have unofficially moved from commenting frequently to lurking and rubbing my temples.

Now my avatar has found its video mate.

I feel proud that younger Me.Yes thought those were extremely ugly. My good taste knows no age.
