@AnikaG: Looking at it again, I oversimplified that last part, as it was kind of an afterthought.

@rodmanstreet: I don't know what to say except that I sympathize. I'm 24 and I feel like I've pissed away the years since I graduated from college.

@SarsDoesn'tSave: Yeah, it seems fishy. You want to be dating somebody reliable. Maybe give him a 3rd chance, and then cut him loose.

@rodmanstreet: I wonder if this might have to do with the glittering description of a Halloween in New Orleans 5 years ago?

@poires et poireaux: Social skills are definitely the kind of thing you can learn and work on, though. There are books, and classes, and professional coaches.

Here are the last 5 songs I have bookmarked on Pandora:

@The Faery Goth Mother: Awesome.

@CallMeBirdy: Go slow and have fun. Laugh if it gets awkward.

@thebootyfaerie: I agree with la.donna.pietra.

@PorkStore: You've got leggings...

I think that my Amazon.com gift certificate can be spent at audible, now that Amazon owns audible.

@la.donna.pietra: Will do!

@voteforme: That's a cool idea. I am comfortable with the idea, but go where? A club or something?

I was cool with my lack-of-halloween-plans this year, but now I'm envious of you guys!

@midwesternmom: If you confronted them, that would probably have been a confusing downer for your son.

@SallySassyPants: Veerryy carefully.

@badmutha: Zing!

@alula: It can totally happen.

@newmakcity: haha! I wonder which one it is. Is she on stage or in her living room? It's so cute when Tempe loosens up.

@rah29: Yess! If you're a fan of the TV show Firefly, there's a nice treat in store for you as well. Enjoy!
