The Worst of the Personals: On break

On break

I'm taking the weekend to address some minor drug addiction issues (i.e. experiencing the joy of withdrawing from nicotine.) In the meantime, amuse yourselves. I'll be back when my brain isn't screaming, probably about 50 hours from now.

The Stories We Tell About Ourselves

I admit it: I love reading personal ads. As a child, I would flip to the classifieds in my hometown paper and try to imagine the real people behind those furtive little boxed in words.

The Internet has given the world a great gift, offering free personal ads with no real word count. At long last, ordinary people have the freedom to describe the person they really believe they are, in far more detail than is necessary.

This blog is all about the stories we tell about ourselves, and how very sad they can be.
