me:  I think I want to get more.

laura: oh lord...

me:  now that I know I can handle the pain, the only obstacle is money.

laura:  and the fact that you gotta figure out what else you want. this one only took you 28 years to think of.

It never ceases to amaze me, the gall that some men have in thinking that women's bodies are open fodder for their commentary. Granted I'm a little two-faced in my annoyance, because when the commentary is positive I'm more likely to be amused rather than appalled. But seriously ( Read more... )

words cannot describe my excitement. they were the first concert I ever saw, and they are still sexy as all getout. don't hate.

so, I just put in my official notice...my last day (for now) at the strand will be november 7th. then I will hang around new york for a couple days packing and things, and then I will go to detroit for a few days...then, november 16th, I leave for korea ( Read more... )
