Don’t Let the Kids Get All the Fun

“Who Farted? It Wasn’t Me!”
Timmy and I have a lot in common. One of these attributes (special powers?) involves the ability to make fantastic farts. Allow me to explain. Loud farts are always funny; whether it’s from you or not, it’s always something you could make … Continue reading “Who Farted? It Wasn’t Me!”

LDR is Freaking Hard. And I Wouldn’t Have it Any Other Way
Many times in a long distance relationship you’d have to force yourself to be positive. Positive that you’ll see each other soon enough.

Love is Patient…Until it’s Not
Loving someone from half a world away is painful at times. True, I wouldn’t change a thing on how my relationship with Timmy evolved. I believe that falling in love with someone living more than 8000 miles away has been … Continue reading Love is Patient…Until it’s Not
Kilig In The Name Of
I don’t have much to say here. I just thought the title was great. It’s a play on the song Killing in the Name by beloved soft folk artists Rage Against the Machine. Except, as you can see, I’m missing … Continue reading Kilig In The Name Of

What It’s Really Like to Ice Skate for the First Time
