My friends would describe me as outward going and sociable, but a little old-fashioned. However, underneath my confident veneer, I've never really felt comfortable in the presence of unmarried women. I guess this is because I was an only child and went to a single sex boys' school. Despite being 28 years old, I've never had a girl friend nor for that matte...

It was a dark, dark, day. The days usually were during the winter. I was in Alaska, so you know it was laden with snow.

Jesse was tired, sitting at the fast food restaurant. There was nobody in the lobby, nobody in drive-thru... and she was still reeling from the train wreck she had stumbled into at five. Coworkers had never done a thing in lobby, not one damn thing and it had driven her ballistic. Trash had yet to be changed after a few spurts of customers, leaving the rem...
I just want this semester to be over. It's been one of the most stressful that I can recall since becoming a Graphic Design major. I knew it would be a difficult switch, from English to Graphic Design, but I really wanted to do something I was passionate about.

We had been set up by a mutual friend so it was great we had a connection. Our work schedules meant Claire and I didn't see a lot of each other the first few months of our relationship, but there was that electricity between us that was worth making the effort to keep in touch. No matter what the other person did, it would get us going. When we kissed you wo...
