goes along with the trend of people always placing the image they look best in as their profile picture.

I was browsing Facebook today and ran across what i thought was a cute girl. She looked good in the small picture, but once I clicked on it I found out she was a thumbnailer.

Back when I lived in upstate new york

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.

Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.
