Guest: Holy Water

In the earlier days of high school, I would get off the first bus at another high school and part ways with my friends to make the transfer to my second bus. This connection was about an hour long wait; sun, rain, or snow. It was an unfortunate necessity, as I lived very far out of town.

Spreading Holiday Jeer

I have never been good at choosing gifts for people, and it's especially noticeable when they're people that I'm close with. This was never really an issue when I was a child, because no one expects children to give exceptional presents, but as soon as I hit my teens there was some sort of understanding that I had to up my game.

Such Good Friends

A large part of dating someone is getting to know your partner's circle of friends. Trying to gain the approval of the friends is sometimes the hardest part of the chase, made all the more difficult when the object of your interest has no idea you want to date her. This isn't a story about the girl whose attention I was trying to win, it's a story about one of her friends.

Guest: Turn-Off of the Day

I was asking Benevolent Blog-Master Lundy what I should write about for my next blog. He gave me a few suggestions, one of which was something to the effect of "hobbies that are a turn-off for you." That one I thought was interesting, because outside of baby seal clubbing, I couldn't really imagine any hobbies that a prospective love-interest would have that would really put me off. Then it hit me what *does* turn me off: having no hobbies.
