I was fuming! I could not believe what that asshat had done now. Though I should have known; all signs pointed to douche-baggery. No one was cute enough to forgive that! I snatched out my ancient P.O.S. cell phone and dialed bestie with shaking hands. It was already ringing when…
That is what I decided my brand would be. It fits me. It fits my writing. It fits my life. I mean, just look at that smile. Adorable right? Now, check my Google search history, and let me talk to you about serial killers. Then you’ll understand more of the…
