Loading ...I spotted this article the other day, about how Colorado tuition is supposed to rise more than 9 percent for next year.
Since hearing this, there have been a lot of thoughts running through my head. I was hoping to go on to get my master’s, but with tuition increases like this in the cards, […]

April 3, 2008 - 4:30 pm
Remember Mr. Deceptive, the nice guy who turned out not to be so nice after all? Part 1 talked about what a supercilious jerk he was to other people, but this time we’re going to see how his better-than-thou attitude affected our relationship, too.
An old friend of ours (but a relatively new friend of […]

Comments (0) Fixing the Florist’s Grammar: The Not-So Nice Guy — Part 1
March 31, 2008 - 3:30 pm
I was sick of dating “bad boys” and dudes from the not-so-smart category. I wanted to date an intellectual, a nice guy.
Instead, I got Mr. Deceptive.
Mr. Deceptive was definitely smart, but he wasn’t as nice as he made himself out to be. He was a Nice Guy Poser.
I think the first time I […]

When I was 15, I got my first boyfriend. We fell in love, had sex for about three months, and then broke up.
I was devastated. Like many young women, I had internalized the idea that a “good girl” only ever sleeps with one guy. In a society where sex before marriage is […]

Hello down there!
You and me, we’ve had a pretty good run so far. I don’t think I thank you often enough, but you’ve been very good to me over the years. You’ve muscled through innumerable yeast infections. You’ve fought off bouts of HPV — twice — and came up clean both times. […]

March 26, 2008 - 9:30 am
Sometimes I think about how our Founding Fathers intended to guarantee everyone a free education; not a professional education, but the basics anyone needs in order to get by in society. Unfortunately, I think the standards have changed. College is now just as necessary as high school.

Two old women from L.A. apparently had a really unusual, really twisted idea of how to fund their retirement (and, as it turns out, youth-preserving plastic surgery): Murder homeless men.
Here’s how it would go. They would befriend some poor homeless guy, put him up in an apartment, and get him to sign a life […]

Comments (0) Is Monogamy Really a Myth?
March 23, 2008 - 3:30 pm
In the aftermath of the Eliot Spitzer scandal, the New York Times ran an article about how rare true monogamy appears in nature. Fair enough; most of us wouldn’t argue with that. What was appalling was the way the article seemed to justify sleeping around and paying for sex, based on the premise […]
