“How do you know it would work?”

Hearing this may not be a surprise to some of you, but I’m not a sports fan. No, not baseball. All those stats just make my head hurt. Yes, I know I go to football games, but it’s not for the football. Soccer? I’ve dated a few players, but the [...]

He was finally single, I somehow felt intense attraction despite his being covered in tattoos; we’d been dating for three weeks, and it was supposed to be the “most romantic day of the [...]

Before I begin, I must make a disclaimer: I am not gay. I support it, I accept it, I’m all for the marriage rights. I’m just not. As for bi-sexual? I think those people are just selfish. So eager for attention, they need to get it from both sexes, instead of focusing on just one. [...]

I’m 19 years old and I’m standing in the facial cream aisle in Target trying to find the best anti-aging cream. Yes, anti-aging cream.
