On First Loves, Breakup Guilt, and Rainbows Painted With Watercolors
That poem is a video and from the brief bit of sound that just blasted through my office it sounded kinda NSFW! Just a warning! Boy is my face red right now.

On How to Plan for a Better Spring
the luckiest people alive
may I never again feel like by spending time with my friends I am "wasting" it, and feel guilty about that for some reason. may I remember the strange, chest-tightening, eye-tickling sensation I feel right now, of wanting to cry but stopping myself because I am at work and somehow feeling the sensation behind the facade all the more intensely for that. thank you richard.

On Calling Your Girlfriend
I'm kinda surprised at the vitriol here against the lyrics...at no point does she say the "other woman" (whether it's meant to be her or not) is sleeping with the guy, just that they've met, and they've kissed--maybe only once. Guess it depends on your definition of cheating, but I agree with those upthread who commented that sometimes, breaking up is the right thing to do. Like if you realize you want to do more than kiss that awesome new lady you just met, it's better to break up with the gf BEFORE anything else happens. And the least you can do is try to phrase it nicely (not like in this post!)

these were a big hit at a friendly gathering last night! Substituting raisins is an intriguing idea...what about half chips, half raisins? Yum!
