I have a zit on the inside of my nose. I didn’t even know that that was possible. It’s not that I thought it to be impossible, I just never really thought about it before. I’m not really sure what I’m supposed to do about it. I can’t exactly get the Clearasil up there, and even if I could, I think it would burn. I can’t pop it. I know I shouldn’t anyway, but y’all know you’ve busted a zit... Read more

I got a new bike this weekend. Well, not new exactly, but new to me. It’s shiny and hot pink, and very, very cool. I haven’t ridden a bicycle since I was 15.
