Saturday Story Time
Joan walked into the Chinese restaurant on Avenue of the Americas.
“Hello,” she said. “Takeout for Joan?”
“Takeout for Joan,” replied the man behind the counter. He slid a bag over to her and printed her receipt.
“How much was the beef with broccoli?” Asked Joan, studying her receipt. “This seems like kind of a lot.” She wrinkled her...

DSM VI
I’ve spent a lot of time lately thinking about the difference between “eccentric” and “crazy.” I consider myself, and most of my close friends, to be on the eccentric side of the personality scale. The scale goes something like this:
SQUARE/YUPPIE—>FUNCTIONAL BORE—>FUNCTIONAL NORMIE—>FUNCTIONAL QUIRKY—>FUNCTIONAL...

Things That Happened at the School Dance
You’re supposed to get on Josh, but he isn’t into it.
You drink a bottle of cooking wine beforehand and throw up in the limo.
You bought your dress at the store on the first floor of the mall where everything is jewel-toned and $85 and the spaghetti straps break when you hug a tall friend. The evening is ruined.

Do you remember The Craft? Okay, good. I’m not going to spend a lot of time talking about The Craft in this post, but I need you to keep it in mind for a second, because it relates to something else.
I’m 27 years old. When I was a kid, it was suggested that the only way to autonomous power was either to force everyone at my new school to mistake me for being popular, gathering some...

luparctos asked: Just thought it'd be good to formalize your rejection algorithm (for the math, of course):
Bi = Bi-1 / 2
where Bi is the bounce back time at rejection I, and B0 is defined as the initial bounce back time for any given person.
Personally, I think this model can be extended like so:
Bi = (1 / i ) * PRF/(Ti - Ti-1)
Where...

Encyclopedia of Anxiety Dreams
The Crime-by-Mistake: you’re not sure when you became a drug mule, because the dream starts with a bag of Quaaludes up your ass and arriving at the security checkpoint for an international flight, but you know you wish you weren’t a drug mule, because now you either have to run for your life as they try to bar the doors to the airport or you have to find a bathroom to kill yourself...

Peter's Unfinished Review of "My Summer of Love"
My Summer of Love is, essentially y’all, a story about mixed up emotions, and growing up from being just like this little white peach, into a young lady. Along the way, it’s mad hijinks: some sexy, some sportin’, and, like, some serious religious salt, as well.

The Overshare
Late last night I had run out of internet in the kind of way that’s particular to the end of a holiday weekend. I was finishing up Blue Velvet and too antsy to go read a book in bed, so after some dead-end clicks I figured I was out of material and should call it a night. And then I wound up clicking the “this is divorce blogging” tag on one of Young Manhattanite’s posts....
