fourteen on friday

I love Fridays. I love polls. I love life. I love people. I love sushi. I love turkey. I love re-imagining all these phrases as a jump rope song. I love being secure enough in my masculinity I am not self-conscious about thinking about jump rope songs.


Will you join me in a love-in? Please take this lovely poll.
