Slap Yourself
Wednesday, September 12th, 2012

Not.
Oh, yes, when I think back to college and beyond (but not as far back as high school, because we were all idiots back then), I did some pretty stupid things and I put up with some pretty lousy guys. Alas, I can’t go back in time. But if I could, I would give myself an earful. (more…)
