I always love the background pictures you choose!
And btw, you guys really need to update your bio on your facebook page because it says ‘website for children/teenagers’ and that just sounds so not Rookie and uncool haha.
Just write (a short version of) the same thing you said on the ‘Us’ page or something, idk :)
i hope that comment didn’t sound rude… because it wasn’t meant rude at all!
I think this is my favorite eye candy ever!
How is August already over?
I love all the sort of lurid photos you put up, like of motels and the auditoriums.
MISS ATOMIC BOMB!!! I was soo happy when I saw that as the background image!! I’m kind of obsessed with that image, I have it hanging in my room. After I heard the song of the same name by The Killers (which I also love) I had to look up what it meant and I’ve been fascinated with it ever since.
I always love the background images, but I feel like this month they were especially on point!
so awesome. I love this month’s theme…reminds me of my birthday/Halloween <3
I love this month’s background images, especially the circus ones. The circus is the perfect mix of thrilling and chilling.
