and because money never hurts, I didn't take time off of work or go on a "post-bar trip" like everyone else I know. I met a person like me once who told me that she always regretted it (although she's a work-a-holic, and I just happen to like my job -- there's a huge difference there ( Read more... )

Nevermind my entry about a recent celeb girl crush -- this is just too scary....

Did anyone else know that Tiffany Amber Thiessen was in some movie/tv show where she kissed some other woman?? I don't know about you, but seeing little Saved By the Bell Kelly make out with some chick at a bar and say that she's "more than curious" just about scarred ( Read more... )

So there was the time that I sat down with both Obama and Hilary after their grueling primary battle: I told them to get it together, and they agreed to, but only if they could give me credit for uniting them for the greater good of the Democratic Party.

Well, I tried to fire it up today, since I ( Read more... )

I totally apply for my dream job and fail? Anyone have an insider contact with the National Council of La Raza?

Today, I looked into a man's eyes and finally saw what a totally broken heart looked like. (He doesn't know that I know exactly what kind of beautiful angel he lost -- that once, I too stayed up at night painting scenes on my ceiling; they were nighttime watercolors of laughing with her, smelling her hair while telling her a secret so perfect that ( Read more... )

If there was one thing I could do for you, I'd teach you to love outer space -- it needs all the help you can give it, you know. It's not about the whispers of dead, dull light making ambiguous pictures in the sky for ancient people with amazing imaginations. Can't sell a dame like you on a line like that -- it'd be like saying something about ( Read more... )

I'm saving this one for when I run for office:
