So it turns out the slow loris makes a secretion from its elbows that when mixed with its saliva is a deterrent for predators such as the sun bear. This combination is similar to the stuff in cat dander that causes allergic reactions. Although its a common myth that the slow loris is poisonous to people, the bite actually only causes swelling, but could cause anaphylactic shock in those that have the allergy... Cause they weren't creepy enough already with their weird body proportions!

I almost walked down an up escalator... but not on purpose. The whole line of folks coming up to meet me looked initially worried, and then mildly entertained as I stuttered and jumped out of the way.
THEIR FACES THOUGH!!!!
I'm at the airport, and near me a woman is reading Harry Potter to her kids. Too cute! I'm having all my childhood memories coming back of when my mom read to me and my sister, and what I can only imagine as stressful (to my parents anyway) but fun childhood family trips. Makes me glad to be going home today to be back with my family.
Just had my friend give me an undercut. Ignore the awkward mirror shot. Hahaha
Preach.
Eating burritos and reading a graphic novel on a Sunday night when I should be doing homework... This is my life.
Don't know what it is, but I love these.
