Ta-Da!
The year of 2012 — the year of the dragon — was a year of change. I went from making no decisions ever about anything to making huge life decisions. I left DC for the small town of Richmond. I moved from a studio apartment to a house six times as big. I moved in [...]

Some commentary on some observations: My friend was telling me the other day about his dating stuff. The ah-maze-balls first date that ended up going nowhere because the biotch didn’t call, the next first date that went even better AND she wanted to go out again.

Dating Disaster: He was cute. But he was also a whiny homophobic loser.
Disaster Date Day returns! Laugh, cringe, consume but don’t try this at home. Rachel: What’s your favorite color? (I love this question. You have to answer it.) Courtney in SF: My favorite color is currently dark red. It’s the color of my highlights, my bed linens, and my badass silk corset. However, this answer changes [...]
