Roses. Glue. Freeway fumes.

How to Avoid Stupid Trends

How to Avoid Stupid Trends

Snoopy Has a Hangover

Bask in the Blessings

Bask in the Blessings

Remember back when I accidentally drank decaf coffee for a few days and thought I was dying? That gave me perspective like nothing else.

Worst. Roommate. Ever.

Worst. Roommate. Ever.
