Okay, Desarae, I know you're out there. Identify thineself. Your madre told me you're reading and sharing, and I'm curious. "Congratulations! It's been 374 since you joined Xanga! Won't you sign up for premi…
For Featured_Grownups: I wish you could take a look at a certain freshman year picture. It’s not widely circulated, and for good reason, but it would illustrate the point I want to make here. The girl in the pictur…
The Great Bleach Disaster of 2006 or Little Bleach Crystals On My Floor One sounds like a newspaper headline, the other like a song Alannis Morisette might have sung had she ever gotten married and been unable to sustai…
Pink, for Mayhem

With touseled hair she ignores me. She clutches a blue fuzzy bunny by one leg and her blanket trails behind her on the kitchen floor, collecting the crumbs I haven't bothered to sweep up yet. Her cheeks are still flush…

I'm cooking lunch and writing a blog post. This could be interesting. I'm going to open a resturant and called it Foiled by Thora. It will be fancy french cooking, all prepared in tin foil. And, on a good day…
TOP THIS! Hey, everybody! I have a new game to play. It's called "Top This". I'll tell you a little something about my week between Christmas and New Years, and you'll see if you can top it. If someone tops it, then …
