I should not have made this blog post. Lusyd is my friend and will remain so. I was angry. I will stay her friend, and I will defend her if I feel I need to.
I'm getting just a bit tired of people who've never met me asking why I don't have all the ladies trying to get me.

Just you try and stop me buddy.
And there will be the occasional blasting of cold air down her exposed butt crack as well. (Don't ask.
