Remember the crazy VT Korean killer? I stumbled upon this Wikipedia article and I was amazed by the similarities between Seung-hui Cho and me. Lo and behold: It's bizarre how his biography reminds me so much of my own. It makes me wonder if anyone who knew me in elementary school, middle...

I'm supposed to perform a few Miley Cyrus and Jonas Brothers songs to impress a bunch of elementary school kids. The problem is I have no idea which songs are generally well-known and which songs are known only to avid fans. Technically I could ask those kids straight-out which songs that they...

I just logged in to an old social networking account of mine, and I discovered that half of my former friends/acquaintances from way back when have replaced pictures of themselves with pictures of their babies. So instead of having vaguely familiar faces on my friends list, I now have a bunch of...

I was pretty good at not taking insults personally when I was about 20, but over the years (what with my anxiety issues and whatnot) I've become more and more sensitive to criticism. I've gotten to the point where I stay away from insulting people not because I've suddenly become a nice and...

Here's the deal: I'm horrible at replying to e-mails. I don't always have the energy to read an incoming message, so I'd put it off and put it off (while pretending to have a life and whatnot) until days pass by and a late reply seems more inappropriate than no reply at all. So I end up never...

If the purse is big enough to fit a book or two, I can understand how convenient carrying a purse can be since a book obviously can't fit into your pocket. However, I've seen purses that are so tiny I'm surprised a wallet can even fit into them. I seriously don't understand: what is the purpose...

Every now and then I come across someone who holds this position, and I seriously don't understand: what's the deal with that? Isn't marriage basically a commitment for two people to be together until one of them dies (at least in theory)? Why is there so much fear of actually being married...

What are you gonna do today?

Aww... isn't that cute? Their BFF-ness makes me want to be 16 again. Of course, when I was 16 I had no sense of self, much less a BFF. To add insult to injury, I had no Internet either. If I could keep my mind and past experiences and regain my 16-year-old body, though, I totally would.

I thought it was (I arrived to that site from a considerably well-known source, and I assume a well-known source isn't going to link anyone to a scam website), but after hearing this and that I'm becoming paranoid about it being a phishing site. What should I do if I already did give out my SSN...

..looked at someone else's life, wanted it so bad, but realized that you were born under difference circumstances and you could never have what that person has? I'm not even sure what my point is. I'm not unhappy with my life, nor am I always comparing my life to someone else's. This is just...

Sometimes I look at myspace pictures of people I used to know and I get jealous because they all seem to be in a happy relationship - married with babies and everything. Then I step away from the computer, get out of the house, and meet people - and I lose all desire to be in a relationship...

I'll be the first to admit that I really should get out more, but I feel like I have enough to do as it is. I have books to read, music instruments to play, foreign languages to learn, and so on and so forth - and socializing isn't going to let me get anything done. There was a time when I did...

Has anyone done one of these? How's that supposed to work exactly?

I've been hearing about this "true love" business since I was a little kid, and for the longest time I was led to believe that it exists. Now that I'm slightly older, I think that "being in love" is just another phrase for "being temporarily obsessed with someone to an unhealthy level" or "being...

This is a rant. This is only a rant. Why does physical attractiveness still matter after all this time? They told us in elementary school, middle school, and sometimes high school that "beauty is skin deep" and "it's the inside that counts." I've always believed that and it's one of the reasons...

Do you find it harder to make friends with your peers? I find that in the eyes of little kids and older adults I don't always come off as a social retard. Interacting with these people can sometimes gives me a boost in self-esteem, though once I'm among my peers I once again realize I have no...
