First Post
I am a 31 year old man. The word "man" there doesn't always feel right - not because I feel atypical in regards to gender, but because of the maturity that it implies. I think the reasons why will become clearer to readers and to myself as I write here.
#oneaday Day 787: Friendfreeslop
I read an interesting piece earlier on the phenomenon of "friendslop". This is a term I'm not overly fond of, but it serves a purpose as there appears to be a somewhat amorphous if commonly agreed sort-of definition.

Clown white doesn't come off in one pass. A personal story about how I can never take myself seriously no matter how hard I try.
