Yesturday on my personal Facebook account I had to change my status update.
I thought to myself, “self, you can use facebook for teaching.” Little did I know my friends would take it to another level. Thank you friends. The names have been blocked out to protect the not so innocent.

I totally think my friends are more than quite amusing.. I think they are friggin awesome ! Plus I would totally cut someone for my friends… just sayin..
