All of this is making me realize that I’m 34. I mean I knew I was 34, but HOLY FUCK I’m 34. I used to be fifty pounds lighter, and spend summers getting blazed at the lake, and giggle in porn shops, and skip school to have adventures...and here I am, sitting in my office...being 34.

My sister had a thing for CT from Paris and we saw him at a TRL taping and again at the airport in Chicago so she thought it was fate. That sentence is so 2003. God, I'm old.

As far as I’m concerned, he Congo any time he wants. Don’t let the door hit Djibouti on your way out.

This reminds me of one of my friends, who dislocated her tail bone by sneezing. It happened a few years ago, but I still can’t stop laughing about it when I’m reminded of it. (To be fair, neither can she!)

i chomp on my string cheese

you hate the person who takes the bite out of the bubble tape roll too, don’t you. LOL

i’ll eat it like it’s one block. dgaf. i chomp on my string cheese too. thug life.

I remember when he first spoke after winning in 2008. This is going to sound cheesy as hell—but after 8 years of GW—I just felt filled with light. He was so eloquent—and seems to have such a strong moral core. What I respect about him is that he has always been honest about the complexities of things. Whereas other…

I feel the same way. I remember when he first entered the national consciousness, and — as great as I thought he was — I was convinced that he could never win. I actually cried from happiness in 2008 when he won, for so many reasons — partly because I was so proud of the country for doing something right, partly…

I know. And he says it in his last year too, as if he still isn’t used to it. And look at that picture of Lincoln on the wall. It’s all very poignant.

Whatever Obama’s shortcomings, his place in history, what he represents, is undeniable.

Just leave her alone and let her come to you. She’ll warm up to you.

Yay! Thank you so much for adopting an adult kitty. They are so often overlooked!

Oh goodness. I’m 18 and currently discovering some possible latent addictive tendencies in myself, especially with opiates. I love opiates, and it scares me. So far, I’ve only tried codeine (prescribed to me, but I liked it too much) and hydrocodone, but I have some friends who have gone farther and tried opium or…

I love this so much! Was it Cannabis Cup weed? Did you smoke Gorilla Glue with Joey Fatone??? Does he roll his own?? Is he a ZigZag or a Rizla man???

I had no idea who he was. I did recognize that he was in a boy band but not till my friend whispered in my ear did I know it was Fatone. Madam Organs bar in Morgan Adams part of DC. My friends and I also smoked on the Capitol stairs on 4/20 at 4:20. It was pre-9/11 Easter break, so....

Thank you for sharing your story. I’m so glad that your family is there for you and that none of you have given up, stay strong and remember you have friends here too! And do it for yourself, not just them. I know that’s hard for me to remember, I am in a similar situation with alcohol, and I have to remind myself how…

Two of my brothers became heroin addicts for the same reasons. I lost one to it, but one of them beat it, so you can too. He has to work a program though, and says it’s vital to do so to keep off the stuff because of what you said. Many people have beat it, you can too. Find your strong. You got this.

Would you be comfortable telling us how you got started? I’m always very curious about that, and how young people can be prevented from starting in the future.

Narcan is kind of awesome to watch, though, no? I mean in the true definition of awesome
