From this site, and many others:
In an interview with the Las Vegas Sun, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., was asked by columnist Jon Ralston why he didn’t choose Gov. Jim Gibbons to chair his Nevada campaign.
“I appreciate his support,” McCain said. “As you know, the lieutenant governor is our chairman.”
Why snub the governor? Ralston [...]

“Don’t know nuthin’ ’bout no love.”
I was not having sex when I was 16. I was also not having ‘boyfriends’ or ‘kissing’ or ‘dates’ when I was 16 either, so whatevs. Which was a good thing, because I was always a little behind in my understanding of reproductive processes. This is what [...]

I have an agenda, of sorts, this summer. Here’s what it looks like:
Summer Agenda, 2008
1. Sleep in everyday.
2. Get through the 2nd draft of my story.
3. Do 100 push ups. This is the loftiest and least attainable goal of all.
4. Take weekly field trips to various educational and exciting [...]

It’s summer here in Idaho. Finally. We were wearing sweaters and drinking hot chocolate on the last day of school, so summer, even in its 60 degree incarnation, is quite welcome. As I write this two of my children are feeding the ducks of the neighborhood pond (causing duck fights, no doubt) [...]

Scared African child: I’m going to lean back just a little…can someone grab on to my chest and pull me away from this big-headed balloon man?

My Yahoo mail account and I have been in an abusive relationship for 10 years now. It started out sweet, as most relationships do. He’d give me cute little emails from long lost high school friends. I’d save the emails and treasure them as if they were handwritten notes on Electric Youth [...]

It started like this:
When Will was a kid he went to summer camp. While at summer camp he got to go sailing. Years and years later, he swore to me that sailing was the best THING EVER and he would never be happy unless he got a sailboat. Ok…not exactly in those [...]

…kinda. Now aren’t you dying to read this post to figure out the context for the phrase ‘trashy ho store?’ Of course you are.
This meme is stolen from Planet Nomad, who didn’t tag me, but stolen nonetheless. And if you go to Planet Nomad and read the places she’s been, try not [...]

“To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence.”
Mark Twain
Check and check, Mr. Twain. Ignorant of the craft of writing, confident in my own ability to do anything, absolutely ANYTHING, I have to say that there is nothing more humbling than trying to do something big, then not quite succeeding [...]
