I Am Kloot
I am not dead yet
I am really going to Russia
I can't believe that's the first American Gods label in this whole blog
I do the weird stuff.
I don't have a pet hamster to name
I feel like Harley Quinn every time I write that
I forgot to blog the family Buffython
I hate airlines
I hear the Other Father is also a floorwax AND a dessert topping
I hope his phone doesn't have a browser
I just noticed that Blogaway deleted all my Dead labels which means I will probably stop using Blogaway now
I made up the talking fish
I miss the days when I used to make sure that there would be at least one amusing or interesting label
I promise I'm not going to ask you to steal drugs
I want to see pictures of Halloween* costumes in the LJ comments
I will name him George and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him...
I will not look into your soul and tell you what you need to know not even for ready money
I would totally write that paper as a lark if I was still in college
I'm happy to hear that yes people do indeed read these labels

posts that assure that the author is safe and has not been kidnapped by elves at all
posts that assure that the author is safe and has not been kidnapped by goblins at all
