Death of the Midnight Showing

It used to be that when a big blockbuster came out, if you were truly devoted, you’d go to the midnight showing. People would dress up and wait in line for hours.

Surely You Jest

Sometimes I wonder if men are capable of making jokes without it being completely inappopriate and highly sexual.

Don’t Even Bother

A couple weeks ago, Grace Kelle and I were out as usual. And we met these 2 guys. The one I ended up talking to was funny and nice and cute so I gave him my number. At the end of the night he (of course) invited me home with him. Promising all kinds of…
