Lent.
I was raised Catholic. I am, proudly, a 6th grade Sunday school drop out. Never got confirmed. We stopped attending church around the same time, something about my mom disagreeing with the pope.

Dia de las Amantes.
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! The Hallmark begotten holiday that has spawned a multitude of others like Singles Awareness Day on Facebook. But besides the chocolates and the roses and the sexy sex, what is Valentine’s Day? I wanted to find out.

“I’m Not Over” Carolina Liar
Let's Be Optimistic, Shall we?

We say “I would die for that cake/dress/boy” when we want something really badly, but we say “Give me something to live for” when we are...
“Wait for the person who pursues you, the one who will make an ordinary moment...”
Things I Want.
So I was perusing the Urban Outfitters site (BAD IDEA!) and came up with some stuff I might actually die if I don’t get. Bonus points if YOU buy me any or all of these things.
