About Me

Just another pessimistic, quiet, bookish, bitchy wallflower. I love my white chocolate. Sometimes I think I want to be an interior designer but most of the time I want to be an art therapist. Or just a world famous artist. I watch a lot of HGTV and I am getting ready to set up my first place with Cody. YAY!

1 John 3:2 NIV Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

The drawings of the tree, the two pitchers facing each other, and the girl with the blue aura are all my original art work.

SLUT

SLUT. What does that mean? How do we define it? And why do women and girls let it have so much affect on them? After all, its just a word. Let's start at Webster's, shall we? Webster says that a slut ...
