potato_headNEW ICON YAY
I don't usually do the double-house thing but this fits me way too well. I'll probably replace it with a Slytherin icon when I can find a good one.
Also, I don't think I'm going to submit PDDs* anymore, it seems like it's all mine that get the OMG I HATE THIS MEME IT DISCRIMINATES AGAINST MENS reblogs and that annoys me enough that I should probably stop, lol.
Okay going to go play Risk now. I have not yet won once, but I get closer every time.

Also, I don't think I'm going to submit PDDs* anymore, it seems like it's all mine that get the OMG I HATE THIS MEME IT DISCRIMINATES AGAINST MENS reblogs and that annoys me enough that I should probably stop, lol.
