"Talented people is always crazy so don't worry." - Akemi, today on the subject of yours truly. The other week, Akemi called me an "evil testicle".

antisocialbutterflie writes: "I have garnered a lot of respect for you and your rallying behind Maximus for a while.

I now find myself in a similar situation and my understanding of…

Tonight we partake in a grand Mallozzi New Year's Eve tradition.

What about you all? I'm sure your plans are nowhere near as…

According to Akemi, employees of Tokyo Disneyland are contractually prohibited from revealing how much they are paid to work at the theme park.
