Hi my name is Kim, I'm a 20 year old Canadian girl who has too many obsessions. This is where I keep things that make me happy. These things include Radiohead, Doctor Who, Matthew Gray Gubler, Conor Oberst, Misfits, Emma Stone, Gary Oldman and a bunch of other awesome stuff!

Washington Post defends front cover gay kiss The Washington Post stands by its decision to publish a front-page photo of a gay couple kissing that generated a high volume of complaints from readers. The newspaper published the photo online and in print last week. It captures Jeremy Ames and Taka Ariga kissing outside D.C. Superior Court on the first day same-sex couples could apply for marriage licenses in the District. Weddings began on Tuesday. A few of the readers have engaged in rants, often with anti-gay slurs. One complained about the paper, “promoting a faggot lifestyle.” Another complained, “That kind of stuff makes normal people want to throw up. People have kids who are being exposed to this crap. I will be glad when your rag goes out of business. Real men marry women.” The National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association, the watchdog group for media coverage of LGBT issues, applauded TheWashington Post for publishing the photo.
