Somebody Disagree With Me (or Wish Me A Merry Christmas, I Dare You)

Noisy Neighbour Update (or I’ll Blow Your House Down)

I’ll make this one short and sweet because I know you’ve got better things to do this weekend than reading my blog. I’ve been a little busy to this week what with being Freshly Pressed and all. (Humblebrag) So, now

No Autographs Please (or Sign on the Bottom Line)

Death To Emoticons (or Put On A Happy Face)
