How would you describe yourself to someone? It really depends on who’s asking — and why? If I’m meeting someone for the first time in a casual setting, I keep it simple.

What's the story behind your nickname? It’s funny how almost everyone I meet seems to have a nickname—something playful, short, or completely unrelated to their actual name.

Dogs or cats? Honestly, I don't prefer either. I mean, I’m not here to rain on anyone’s parade—if you love them, keep them. But for me, the whole pet thing just never clicked. Maybe it’s because I grew up with both in the house, and let's just say... the experience didn’t exactly win me over. … Continue reading Not My Pet Club

I was fifteen, fresh out of 10th grade, at that in-between age where you’re no longer a child but not yet something else either.
