  • Conversations with My Mom: Porn

    My parents, especially my mother, have always referred to the  internet as evil. My mom is convinced that it’s just full of porn, child molesters and other filth and while she’s not entirely wrong, all of my past attempts to convince her that my internet experience did not involve those things has only ended in a lecture about their collective evils.

  • The Accidental Date

    I’m walking into the grocery store and I notice this guy walking out who’s just starring at me. Just starring and smiling. Now, strange men starring and smiling at me is nothing new, but I’m so hungover tired that I look completely stoned. “Shit,” I think as he comes walking toward me, “I’ll bet he thinks I know where to get some good weed.” I’m just opening my mouth to tell him that I’m only high on life when he opens his arms for a hug.
