So Much for Being Sensible
I brought a perfectly nice date to meet my friend's ridiculously attractive German friend. What could possibly go wrong?
Field Notes

Seven years of questionable decisions and somehow it was responsible me who had the pregnancy scare.

Why Do I Keep Doing This?
An investigation into my terrible taste in men and the possibility that I might be the problem
Books

Field Notes

Field Notes

Dating

The Navy? Fine. The Catholicism? Manageable. The frat? Questionable. The demon voice during sex? Unfortunately real.
