I don’t get it
I know nobody probably cares anyway but there are loads of things I just don’t get. I just don’t understand and can’t get my head around. And maybe I’m being a judgemental dick. Who knows, eh? Or maybe, just maybe, these are just completely alien concepts to me. The posts have been serious and the internet is filled with darkness so I thought I’d try to lighten the mood somewhat before my posts get even more super serial.
So here goes:
