Fangsgiving
As Thanksgiving waxes and New Moon excitement wanes, I am here to share with you a few things for which I am fangful this year. I don’t ever have to go back to high school. Much less repeat it over and over for the rest of my undead life. What price immortality, eh, Cullen? I … Continue reading
