Hey internet,

I don’t do this often, I don’t often think things are important enough to put into the space of the WORLD wide web, but this is big. THE BOOK OF MORMON JUST ROCKED MY WORLD. Seriously, read it. Well, see it. But if you can’t see it…read it. Wow. I am inspired.

A monologue that is close to yourself

As I’m sure you’re aware, your fifth installment, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, came out 2 days ago.
