Grant was never popular during his high school years. So he should have been extremely suspicious near the end of his senior year when he was invited to a party by one of the beautiful people. But he was too excited to turn down the invitation. It all seemed innocent enough. Becky had approached him … Continue reading Popular

Operation
Justin arrived late to the party. He usually arrived late to things. He did it on purpose. He was hoping for a spot in the yearbook as the senior who was most likely to show up late to graduation. He could have gone for friendliest or class clown, but those awards seemed too obvious. He … Continue reading Operation
Question of the Week #279
If someone threw a party for you and invited everyone who ever mattered to you, who would you be most excited about seeing? Most anxious about? Why?

Question of the Week #194
Would you generally rather be overdressed or underdressed at a party? I'm not typically one who likes to get dressed up. I had enough of that during my years as a bank teller. So I guess I'd rather be underdressed. Although, I suppose if I show up in jeans and a t-shirt to a party … Continue reading Question of the Week #194
That Time I Got Tricked Into Watching Peppa Pig
I recently took a trip down to Raleigh for a friend's daughter's high school graduation. It's funny... A few months ago, I remember talking with coworkers about how I don't understand why people voluntarily go to graduation ceremonies. There's nothing entertaining about them.
