When I went to my first gynecologist appointment at age 18, it was with a female. Since she was part of a family practice, she had also recently examined my mom, and when she tried to make girl talk, she told me, “Wow! Deep vaginas must run in the family”.
Then, she sang “come out, come out wherever you are” to my cervix. I’m 26 now, and I have only been to male gynecologists since then. Whew.

I always figured the male gynecologist paid more attention in school (it’s the vagina.. come on..).

About 3 hours ago I wanted to do just that, skip Christmas for once, but my best friend just talked to me, and I do not think she knows the impact she just had on my perspective…

I am going home for Christmas. I’m scared my family will realize I’m addicted to cocaine again.
Even if you don’t post this secret Frank, please post a trusted drug help hotline on your site. It’s so hard for us to go home at this time, because even if we want to get better, we often just can’t do it in time. We just remember what we used to be like, and how Christmas used to be.
Christmas is the hardest time to be an addict.

As someone who loves an addict, all my family wants for Christmas is for our addict to come home, and let us help. It would be the best Christmas gift ever. We are waiting with open arms for you.

Whenever I am wearing clothing and shopping in the store I got it from, I secretly hope they will give me a discount.

Dear Frank,
Last year I mailed you two postcards, “Next year, I want to get my tree with you” and “I will not wear mistletoe to work,” both referring to the same crush.
I was bowled over just now to see that someone had wondered how my first secret turned out.
This year, I will celebrate the holiday with someone wonderful . . . but he’s not the guy I wrote those secrets about. Even if I hadn’t fallen in love this year, this Christmas would find me fairly indifferent to the person I mentioned in that postcard.
Time work wonders.

But if you left it up to me
Everyday would be
A holiday from real
Oh, it’s a picture of perfection
Ah, and the postcards gonna read
