Light edition, like I said earlier. Just as well, because I’m running away. Alison Kent has my current address and I did something very very very bad today.

As Promised:

Beth Williamson guestblogged. I still say Shannon Stacey’s a yellow-bellied coward. She never turned up for her duel with Beth.

The Must-Reads:

Rhian admits I’m more Bad Ass than her. Jaynie, how come Erin won’t admit that you are the boss of her?

Coming soon:

Tomorrow, Shiloh Walker gets interviewed! There’s a contest.
