So I haven’t written a post in months (because of school and whatnot), but recently I’ve been getting hundreds of hits a day all because of a silly Vin Diesel post from last August…?

But seriously folks.

Let me just through something out there. I don’t know how the conversation started about Vin Diesel’s sexual orientation (I think there was a rumor that he had a kid with some chick to make it look like he wasn’t gay so as to preserve his “career” from the harm that might be caused my the cold, hard truth) but googling “Vin Diesel gay?” isn’t going to give you the honest to God answer. Neither does his level of attractiveness (holding back the vomit here) determine his likelihood of gayness. Seriously? Yeah. These are not indicators of his preference for tacos over hotdogs. Given, I have no evidence to the contrary, so I guess we’ll just have to trust Vin’s word on the matter..

Until next time … I hope WFW provide for conversations that don’t involve anyone who starred in The Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift.

Polyvore is giving me bad grades.

So

Recently I’ve been obsessed with Polyvore, and have been procrastinating way more than usual.

Here are a few things I’ve cooked up this weekend
