beneath the radar

Current Mood: kickin' ass and takin' names

I have been so good about posting regularly that this is a genuine survey done out of boredom/curiosity. This is not filler, I swear. In fact, just earlier today I wrote a real post but am saving it to work up a bit of a buffer. You, reader, are spoiled sometimes.
