angryblackchickk asked: you can lead a hipster to water, but you can't make that motherfucking grody ass bitch to drink it because it's "too mainstream". the fact that you and your lame ass friends are still stalking my blog is fucking hilarious. seriously, do you have something you'd like to say to me? or would you rather just pussy out and snicker amongst your non-bathing "ironic" crowd? hate all you want to, but i'm more woman that you'll ever be, and have far more success than you'll ever see. so keep on creepin'.
