it’s magic.
Her freshly manicured nails tapped quickly on her Mac keyboard. She sat, perched, bolt-upright at her desk. She always sat like that but this afternoon, she was more rigid, her shoulders tense. She was nervous as hell, but focused on her work. Her eyes pierced her computer screen, determined to finish this stupid email before… … Continue reading it’s magic.

“What do you mean, you have to ask her permission?!” I was flabbergasted. “They’re friends,” he shrugged, as if that justified it. “How would you feel if I suddenly started dating your best friend?” I shrugged. “I can’t control either of you.

I didn’t mean to prolong this…
How a guy interacts with my friends speaks volumes to who he is. So. Do the opinions of my people matter? Meh.

Then again, my bias doesn't really matter much because I Had … Continue reading A Betchy Book Review: I Had A Nice Time (And Other Lies)

…What Would You Do Part II
Last week, I asked y'all how much pull your friends had on your potential suitors. I don't really have a formal statistic to throw out, since I didn't actually have a poll to click and I really hate math.

…What would you do?
Alright guys, this time I'm asking you, instead of babbling incessantly. I've already decided my own course of action, which I'll explain later...but it brought to mind an interesting question...
