GOD NEJIN YOU LOOK LIKE A WEREWOLF BOY D:

those are some of the most awesome fangs i've seen D:
My my, aren't you lovely~

Out doing court-mandated community service I see... *clucks in disapproval*

Nah I kid, this was interesting, like, "A Day or Two in the Life of Stewartsage". You seem to so a lot of shot-from-within-the-car pictures, I do that quite often too when I'm on trips. Usually to the driver's dismay. xD;; West Virginia looks really pretty and, like I mentioned before, the landscape vaguely reminds me of VT and some of NH though our mountains are pointier-looking. Maryland... I don't think I've ever seen photos from "inland MD" before, usually beaches and seacoast are the first things that come to mind when I imagine the place. I think I saw the Mass (or what that Oklahoma?) and Louisiana-shaped shingles, though if the former was MA, it was missing Cape Cod. D:

You have a lot of stuffed animals by your bed. ^^ And an airsoft gun, and a folder with a DHARMA Flame station cover, and about enough books to open your own library. Yey!

I ought to upload some of my random car ride snapshots, though I don't think I'd have the patience to do it. >>

Werewolf? Of all the things, wasn't I supposed to be a vampire or whatnot? Dear heavens me...I'm even looking all troubled since the sun is being all bright and all.
But I suppose the fangs are so regardless.

And what sort of animal are YOU supposed to be, then?

Quotenej, you are a DEMON. DEE-MON. ok?
That's a different thing entirely, you know. I never once got anyone tell me that I look demon-ish or whatnot. The vampire comments fly around like rocks in a snowball fight...

Nope, I don't even know what that means in all likelihood.
