A Story to tell....
I'm a little intoxicated, not gonna lie. So what if it's not even 10 p.m. and it's a Tuesday night? What? The Kirkland [dorm] Facemash is open on my desktop and some of these people have pretty horrendous Facemash pics. I almost want to put some of these faces next to pictures of farm animals and have people vote on which is more attractive. 9:48 pm

Yea, it's on. I'm not exactly sure how the farm animals are going to fit into this whole thing (you can't really ever be sure with farm animals...), but I like the idea of comparing two people together. 11:09 pm
