Hi. My name is dandellion and I'm a blogoholic. Yes, I suffer from blogging addiction. Seriously. Now's the moment when all of you say in silly cheesy voice: hiiii dandeeeliooooon.

In most of the countries you can spend a night (or more) in jail for walking around without enough clothes to cover your breasts or genitals.
