A volunteer buddy. If you’re interested, email me or leave a comment.
NBC to move Scrubs to a timeslot that’s not directly across Grey’s Anatomy because I totally love Grey’s [...]

Speechifying

From the October 2nd speech by Barack Obama:
In the 21st century, we cannot stand up before the world and say that there’s one set of rules for America and another for everyone else. To lead the world, we must lead by example.

Gossip

I brought my mother the tea she requested, and as I handed it to her, the woman sitting next to her said hello.
