Freeze Your Family for Easter
This conversation just happened. "It's the long Easter holiday weekend. I'm looking forward to our camp at the beach with the kids, aren't you?" he asked. "No. I'm not," she said.

Im Not Ready For the Rapture
Confession time. 1.I've never been to a REAL concert. 2. I really enjoy Eminem's music.
