I woke up, just like I would any other day.

If you're the kind of person willing to buy from the old lady with three teeth in the last row at the farmers' market, you have to be willing to eat the consequences. And I was. It was all I ever thought about. Every Thursday night, Nicole and I were glued to the TV watching the models drape acres of silk over their impossibl...

I awoke with a start. Confessional interviews? I don’t think I have any of those on my todo list today. I think that’s probably better than my actual todo list which consists of writing an essay for my government class, studying for my math test, and reading 100 pages in a bo...
