Wow. Movember is making me realize how little I’ve seen many of my (male) friends over the last month.
Can anyone recommend a maestro of Tumblr templates who likes receiving money for designing custom templates? Because, well, yeah.

I'm shopping for a Christmas present for myself.
Liz Tells Frank could stand a better layout. I’ve got a modest budget — can anyone recommend a good custom Tumblr template designer?

Dear Frank, So I can understand why you wanted me to tell you about V.C. Andrews’ Flowers in the Attic, because you probably have the same memories I do of seeing other girls read that book in elementary school and talk about how it was sooooo sexy but they wouldn’t tell you what it was about…
I need to stop relying on the word “gross” in describing this book...

My wi-fi’s been down all weekend and last night I dropped my phone in a glass of water. It’s like I’m on my own little island right now.
You know, I don’t like to judge, but we can all agree that a black mock turtleneck on a dude = pretentious douche, right?
Have spent much of my evening reading a trashy novel set in the PR world. Now have much stronger understanding of my adversaries.

Dear Frank, You know, for over twenty years I’d experienced absolutely no interest whatsoever in watching the Oliver Stone film Wall Street — until, of course, you asked me to tell you what happened in it. I don’t know why I was so disinterested; perhaps my vague phobia of shoulder pads was a factor. But let me just say that having now seen it, I don’t really feel like I was...
