pumpkinjam @pumpkinjam (8873) • United Kingdom 8 Jan

Hello. Happy New Year and all that. I was thinking about you (myLot people in general) yesterday, completely at random, and realised I'd been neglecting you. A lot of things have probably happened since I was last...

pumpkinjam @pumpkinjam (8873) • United Kingdom 1 Aug

Hey dudes and dudettes and other creatures. I don't know how long it's been again this time. I can't remember what I've told you about already. I may have mentioned that I was going to take to the stage after a long time. Well,...

Pumpkin's Rant of the Day: can't someone else do it?

pumpkinjam @pumpkinjam (8873) • United Kingdom 16 Jan 25

It's nice to be popular. I've had several people ask me to do things this month, which is nice. What's less nice is that I almost always end up doing all of the planning. I don't mind planning things, I'm quite good at it, but it...
