Want to see a really grainy photo of me getting excited and talking off the cuff about stuff? I am here for you! Pardesi/MovieMavenGal/My Real Life Friend invited me to be part of one of her youtube videos, we recorded it splitscreen through skype on my funky computer (thus the slightly poor video quality), but it let’s you see me get all excited about movie star gossip, and who doesn’t love that?
