The Big 3-0 It's my boyfriend's birthday tomorrow and I am getting anxious.

Tattoos a plenty It's time for some weekend fun. Getting tatted... Not me - my boss (w/video) So my boss got a tattoo yesterday. A Korean Frog is NOT a Prince Sure, a princess might feel a pea under a hundred mattresses. Okay, maybe one man could take down a giant magical dragon in order to rescue a woman he's only met once.

Ignorance rears its ugly head...in Canada Let me start off by saying that I am stereotyped once a month - that I am fully aware of - and most of the time it happens more frequently than one would think. Most of the time it's by some local civilian who doesn't even realize what they just said. I'm so lucky I should buy a lottery ticket Every so often I will spoil myself with a morning coffee and pastry from a local cafe. BethZilla's secret is Victoria's Secret My name is BethZilla and I'm a shop-o-holic. Talk about a sour puss! (w/video) Does Miley Cyrus drink Mountain Dew?
