Annoyed-ish?

Tonight I have a date with a surgeon. I’m not going to tell you what he specializes in because you all are some mother fucking googlers and can find anything out! It amazes me. Just know it’s N...

A Message From My Past*

Anybody out there remember the time I was engaged in 2007 and 2008 to a guy I called Mr. Snap? When we broke up mere weeks before the wedding, which was scheduled to be held on the very auspicio...
