I have no idea why the lj-cut thing isn't working, but it isn't. If anyone wants to help me out here, I might possibly offer you my soul, since I've been trying to hide this *&%&^%&^$#@%# quiz behind a cut for 20 minutes.

In other news, I bought a pair of boots from Camper the other day. Some of you may remember that I'm a very picky shoe-shopper. I loathe pointy-toed shoes. But these shoes are perfection in bootly form: made of hard leather (so they won't bunch around my ankles looking like wrinkly elephant skin), with a small heel (so that they have a nice shape but I can still walk in them) and most importantly, rounded toes. I think I'm in love!
No, not with the shoes, but with this video clip. Nice Thriller parody. Note the typo in the youtube title.
