The origin of my name is from Golden Boy

Well retroactively; a friend told me they found my username in an old anime

I miss having white boards at work. Encouraged me to doodle

Back in college I took up crochet and made #amigurumi. This one I pretty much had to make up on my own: Waddles from #GravityFalls

I’m just wondering what the hell happens to the menu bar if it goes past the notch?

MagSafe + ProMotion
