The Interview.
SnapDragon asks herself a few pressing questions. (‘Cuz she can, yo.) So I sat down with amateur blogger SnapDragon X., to ask her a thing or two about life. She wore an over-sized teal dress/shirt thing, which she said seems to have become her unofficial uniform as of late. Her polka-dotted leggings undoubtedly completed the…

Ball Dropped, Yo.
Umm, how is it the end of May already? Woah. Normally I would be excited to draft up the latest Book-of-the-Month post, but, um. . . Snap dropped the ball, yo. I know! (she shrinks away in shame, like a vampire repulsed by the sun) For whatever reason, I could not finish a book this…

Down Days.
Hello, Dear Reader. Happy Saturday. Today is one of Those Days. I feel itchy. Like, from head to toe. I’ve always had troubled skin. And for whatever reason I feel especially scratchy today. Itchiness has got to be in the running for effective torture devices, no? I feel like the human version of an M&M.…
