I ♥ Leah.
First things first. Leah is, and has been, OOMFP since we met in graduate school in 2006. Leah is a kindred spirit, someone with whom I just cannot spend enough time. Leah is the go-to girl when one is in need of reassurance, excitement, peace, perspective, a verbal ass-kicking (or a [...]

The Value of Personal Ads (Not Just for Horny Creeps?)
Warning: This post contains slightly offensive language. Proceed with a little caution and a lot of hesitation.

Were I in the home of nearly everyone else that I know, myself included, this would not have been an unusual sight. But this was different. These [...]

Confession: I am Infatuated with Large Men and Nearly Had a Freaky Collection of Them.
