Figuring out whether a relationship is going to last is tricky. People make a lot of promises to improve themselves, become better listeners. But those kinds of changes are hard to measure. I think what people have to do is work the math in their favor. Like this: X = B*U*(L)^2/ (S+H^I)*T Where B = [...]
Boys are dumb (I’m sure you didn’t need me to tell you that). Some guys are fully aware of their own awkwardness in dealing with girls. They decide that they’re ready to start showing a girl that they’re interested, but they end up stumbling all over themselves in the process. The slightly smarter ones own [...]
You have a superpower. You were born with it. Using it is effortless, or it least it should be. That power is kindness. And it blows away every other superpower out there. Well, except for flying. Or x-ray vision. Anyway. Why is kindness a superpower? Because kindness multiplies. Because kindness can beat the crap out [...]
I haven’t been to the “free” library in almost two years. Sure I’ve driven past it’s opulent exterior of brick and mortar and longingly thought about its treasure of texts held within. And the buzzing computers and DVDs and micro-film, and the old man that coughs every 30 seconds like he’s about to die. Oh, and the [...]
When I was a girl, there was a boy. A glorious boy. The air around him sparkled with little particles of bliss. I did not know him or of him until… I went to a school play. The lights went down, the show began, and all of a sudden there he was, a boy like [...]
A few years ago, I really didn’t understand internet dating. I suppose I felt superior picking both my husbands the old fashioned way–drunk, at a bar. I had difficulty understanding the process of scrolling through bios and glamour shots, starting conversations, and moving to the next level. It all seemed so contrived. I did not believe [...]
You have an upcoming exam which you haven’t studied for yet. There’s not much time left to cram. Yet you’re being forced to turn away from your books – all because your boyfriend is vying for your attention and demanding that you spend time with him. Most teen girls must be familiar with this situation. [...]
There was a recent study released linking depression to sleep apnea. I can now rest easier knowing my husband is one happy mofo even if I’m on the couch. I’m pretty sure he could take on Fred Flintstone in his ability to blow a feather in the air on his exhale and let it coast down rhythmically. As I [...]
It has recently come to my attention that some people are being jerks. Well, not you, but maybe someone you know… this is a post for those people. Those people who have forgotten how to behave. Who’ve forgotten everything they learned in kindergarten. Since I can’t send this to the mean people I know in [...]
If there is something constant in this universe, it is CHANGE! Change is the bitter and harsh truth of life. Time passes by, and things continue to change. Maybe for the worse…maybe for the better, but you never know what tomorrow holds for you. So live it out and enjoy every second of it.
Forget the fat kid, don’t take cake from a pregnant woman. Or poke her with a stick. It has been a few years, but I may have been a little psychotic during my last pregnancy. I had a flashback today when I was awakened by multiple automated calls by school officials advising a late start [...]
“We’ve been over this!” “You’re doing it again!” “Why didn’t you say so?!” Those phrases are all too common, and more often than not, they’re the product of a dangerous little strategy called the Guatemalan Yes. At my church, there’s a guy named Mr. Keith. He’s hilarious and awesome, and a long time ago, he [...]
