Wrapid Fire (heh)

That was the stupidest pun ever. And it serves no purpose in this post other than to annoy you.

My birthday is in October, so to me this month represents the beginning of a gift-giving attack that lasts from now 'til New Year's. GET IT? ATTACK? OH MY GOD, I CONNECTED THIS POST TO RAPID FIRE AND NOW MY PUN MAKES SENSE. Yay.

But back to presents. You know what sucks? Wasting rolls and rolls of paper wrapping presents. You know what sucks more? Getting an unwrapped present. It totally kills the anticipation. It's like being told about your surprise birthday party.

How awesome is that? And you could send all kinds of subliminal messages with the headlines. But let's not go into that right now.
