Does she even know-” “I know everything,” a small voice from the corner said. Lindsay was looking down at her lap. “John told me everything.” “Well then she’s too far gone, already embraced the crazy,” Randy stands up and makes his way toward the kitchen, “I think it’s time to go.” “Randy, no,” his mother protests, “You only just…

It’s a used 1998 Toyota Civic. Even though it is old and shitty, Tommy loves his car more than he loves dad or mom or me. Mom took a photography class at the community college last year. A month before our trip, she made Tommy wash a section of the living room wall. He washed a square about as tall and as wide as him. He used a magic eraser. With the eraser, he wrote “fuck you,” next to the square of white wall. Even though…

"Did you see that guy? He gave me a grimy look! You know, this is why I hate Halloween.“ a boy informed some folks “Calm down, Brandon. Just ignore it,“ one of his friends suggested to him. “It's honesty not that vital,“ another one of his friend told him. Brandon exclaims,“ I don't know why you guys like Halloween anyway. It's becoming old. Tom, why can't you just read and study instead of going around the neighborhood instead of going with me?“ “I like Halloween. It’s fascinating isn't it,…

down the street now. Did you know in the 1940 30-50 % of men had their first sexual encounter was with a prostitute but now it was like 10%. Because the girl next door will put out without a ring.

Body Project provides a space for complete strangers to bond and find similarities within the group. It’s a great way to make new friends and allows you to get to know people on a deeper level. In terms of presenting to the freshman, I got to go to Hapner and South Hedges. I had about…

My heart pounding in my chest ready to burst out at any moment, what looked like hundreds of people; actually only a few, but the fact that I've never done this before had me trembling in my knees. My palms started sweating, and my breathing began to shallow. I have to prove them wrong, but could I? I won’t let them tell me these negative things anymore, not anymore anyways.

Some of you will remember this story. It was ten years ago, and I was employed then as a forensic psychologist in Marin County. Much of my work involved talking to criminals, then testifying as to their sanity in a court of law. On the afternoon this all began, for example — that afternoon when I blacked out in Sara Johnson’s apartment — I was scheduled to examine a man who’d been accused of strangling his wife.
