What (if any) books would you ban from a high school library? Are there certain subjects that you feel are inappropriate for teenagers regardless of literary merit?

Imagine you manage a coven of baseball-playing vampires. The Cullen family is really strong this year and you want to bring in a ringer. Which currently active MLB baseball player do you sire?

Ok.
I did nothing today. Absolutely nothing. Sex and the city is such a good show. It seems that when I post from my sidekick I kinda just ramble. I feel sorry for guys with little dicks.
Okay rambling over.
I'm so unhappy with my apperance. My hair is dead, the color makes it look even more fried. I used to think my eye makeup was fine but now I realize eyeliner makes me look dead. I'm completely inept makeup wise. But I wear it anyway. I just look washed out and sick.... :( probably because the huge black circles under my eyes. Mannnn I want a facial. Or something. Something magical to fix my face. Or maybe just some confidence. Eeek.


I miss my boyfriend. So much.

The weather today is really delightful. 65 with a slight breeze, in the middle of fucking January.

Tomorrow is supposed to be 70. Some deity needs to check their calender, because this is not a Kentucky winter. Not that anyone is complaining....

You're right! This post is bullshit procrastination. Trigonometry can kiss my ass.
