i swear i'm not crazy

I would like to apologize to all of you (well, mainly my friend who harassed me) about cutting off Jonathan Toews face. She seemed very offended and don't worry, i'm not as shallow as i may seem. Don't worry, I posted the photo avec head. As sexy as he is, i'm not into him. My heart only belongs to one guy.

okay that's a lie: two guys! BUT my heart belongs more to one than the other

 

Number 1: Sidney Crosby



Number 2: Patrick Kane



my friend, who unfortunately wants to remain anonymous, also came across this:



Ryan Kwanten from True Blood: he plays Jason Stackhouse

if this doesn't get you through your day, I honestly don't know what will.

have a good tuesday!!
