I Don't Wanna

Why is it that whenever bedtime nears, I regress to age five? Somehow, my inner grownup has the same battle with me that my parents did. I'm falling-down tired, yet something ancient and juvenile insi...

Boyfriend Season Is Right Around the Corner!

I Am Mighty. Behold My Tools.

For the first few decades of my life, I avoided tools with the same enthusiasm as one usually reserves for poisonous snakes. We had an agreement, tools and me: I didn't touch them, and they didn't hur...

Mea Culpa

Okay, so last night at about 2:30 in the a.m. I sleepily wrote a blog about the night's activities. I tried to make myself sound like a big, awkward dork very out of place in the club scene and not re...

I Got Nothin'.

I'm having a pitiful MySpace night. I started to write a comment on a friend's profile, but after the three dozen or so iterations of spectacularly un-clever messages, I just gave up. It was supposed ...
