		<description><![CDATA[It occurred to me while watching very bad movie: good dialog has a natural flow to it. Bad writing just uses dialog to further your plot points (very naughty to try and play God!). So I decided to take advantage of being on the streets downtown today to eavesdrop on some conversations to see what [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m a little sister of a big brother &#8211; my first and most engaging playmate. I was at least as interested in GI Joes as Barbies, and found killer football waaaay more fun than playing princess. One of my favourite childhood memories is of my brother and I tossing toy soldier paratroopers off a high [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s Valentine’s Day, single and flaked out on the couch, what better time to reminisce about that dating thing I vaguely remember doing. I don’t date often, so I usually date well, and first dates are generally a good time. Like that fella I met for a movie and we hit it off so well [...]]]></description>

I’m not aspiring to oldmaidenhood, I’m a fan of the idea of relationships and that whole settling down having a family bit; kids are an awesome excuse to be able to play [...]]]></description>
