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.
I may have just expelled soda from my nose. That burns.
