One of my co-workers has a love of all things Hello Kitty which makes me automatically love her because if you like Hello Kitty then you automatically come into a relationship with 100 bonus points. If, however, you don’t like Hello Kitty then I have to question your ability to be the world’s only living [...]

Here it is, Thursday night and I haven’t once remembered this week that it’s some sort of delurking week. You know what that means? You’re supposed to comment or something. Perhaps you’re supposed to go out and get those difficult-to-find Eggo Waffles. Or maybe you are to do some jumping jacks every time you read [...]

Many years ago when I was still teaching in the classroom I found my people. My people came to me. I didn’t have to go looking for them because tra-la-laaaa I am just that ridiculously lazy. For some reason, a bunch of young teachers and I all seemed to click together one year. We were [...]

When I look at my iPhone (yes, I say I have an iPhone because I waited 4 whole months to finally get that thing and visited it in the store several times just to say, “HI, LITTLE BABYCAKES. MOMMA’S GONNA BUY YOU SOON.”) I can see the first line of the latest text messages I [...]

Today is a day when people are celebrating TWLOHA which is a rather funny looking acronym for the real name of the movement: To Write Love On Her Arms. It’s dedicated to helping those who struggle with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. People who struggle with that need to know so many things not the [...]

When the first AIDS quilt was created in 1987 it took just a little time to reach me where I lived in Chicago. It was a time when sex, as a typical teenage subject, was not at all taboo. But at the time I recall my friends and I wanting to ignore what was going [...]

Since many people have left cards and inspirational notes inside the purses they’ve donated to the Purse Drive (Hey, fellas? I know you come here and get tired of the girly talk, but just for one second remember that FOOTBALL LASTS FOR HOURS and it takes the average person 2.37 minutes to read this here [...]
