It Hurts When I Do This

Pat is my best guy friend ever. He is the platonic father of my website--he kindly nags me to keep writing even when I don't feel like it. He himself is a far better writer than I feel I will ever be, so go and be in awe. Pat is also the one who keeps me in line when I need it and pushes me across the line when I'm behaving too well. Many props, Pat.

A Need for Sleep

Kassie is the most creative thinker I have ever come across. This girl is simultaneously witty, goofy, deep, dramatic, and most of all, genuine. She is an incredibly good writer and one of my dearest friends. Take your time exploring her site; visits there should not be rushed.

Tomato Nation

Ha! Check out "The Vine"--that's about all I can say. It is pure brilliance.
