Re: Little Girl, Not a Little Girl
I guess it's a girl thing, because I didn't get this. I understood the cncept, but I just didn't find it at all moving or even worthwhile. I would love ...

Re: The Classic Rock Junkie Strikes Again
This "stream of consciousness" was interesting and raw. I loved lines like "I don’t need therapy, I need to therapy myself" or "For once I want to say ‘no, it ...
