I am here for Friends

About Me

If you bore me, then I'm comfortable. If you interest me, I'm scared.

"I have just come to realize that I am a complaining piece of shit. The only things I can think to write about are my numerous complaints and grievances that I am too humble and reserved to speak out loud. I guess I could. Complain out loud to the rest of the world, I mean. But that would make me feel like the rest of the world. Outward and out of line. I have always felt that an impartial confidante couldn't exist in a human being. One that didn't charge by the hour at least. So I have become the introvert who spills the milk to one and only one source. The page. The pen. The song. (Well, three.)" -B. Boyd

I love Dennis, yes I do!

I totally had more than 300 calories today, it was SO not sexy.

"I WANNA BE SKINNY!" And so goes a scene in Pink's "Stupid Girls" song. The video is funny and true, but it's sad that body issues are so rampant in this day and age. As I mentioned in an earlier blo...
