I remember when you would memorize the day that I would be coming back to town and would wait for weeks until the day I arrived to ask me out to lunch. Now let’s see if you can remember that lunch you asked me out to two days ago.

Alyssa came over tonight to talk catch up with me and my roommate.
We all discovered that we have some notable activity going on with the opposite sex.
But then we order pizza and watch dumb tv shows together. Zero fucks were given. And all is right with the world again.

I just saw the intimate details of the delivery of a baby and breastfeeding on my news feed.

I have decided that I will not seriously date anyone whom I wouldn’t feel proud to have their arm around me. And it’s not because they have to be good looking, personable, or any of that shit that people always put on their checklists. I just won’t be in a relationship unless I want the world to know that we are together. I don’t want to be yours unless I’m proud to...

I'm the biggest creeper ever.
That guy that I miraculously ended up sitting next to on my flight to California and we somehow ended up talking the whole time… has been discovered.
Whatever the reason, the combination of watching the rose bowl and getting ready for a cruise, after tossing and turning for an hour made me google him. Turns out when you know they have a blog and remember details about what they told you, it...
