		<title>I had a Jerry Maguire moment today</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I want to preface this by saying that I love my job. My manager is wonderful, and the really is a sense of community between my coworkers. It&#8217;s difficult and often frustrating, but I feel that I rise to the challenge and I am doing my part to positively influence people&#8217;s lives. I wasn&#8217;t this [...]]]></description>

		<title>I will defend these songs with my dying breath</title>
		<description><![CDATA[AOL Radio (I swear, I am the last person on Earth with AOL. Shoot me.) recently posted an article dubbed &#8220;100 Worst Songs Ever&#8221;. There has been some speculation by commenters that the author of said article is actually twelve-years-old and can&#8217;t hear these songs properly because his head is wedged some place quite unpleasant.

		<title>My fiance is a &#8220;first year&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In light of the penultimate Harry Potter film being released in November, Jason and I have assumed the task of reading through all seven of the novels (I&#8217;m reading aloud to him because he&#8217;s a slowpoke). Jason is&#8230;.somewhat of an anomaly. He has never read the books, he has never seen the films, and amazingly, [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Craigslist ad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi! My name is Andi, and I&#8217;m in the market for a new best bud. I&#8217;ve been living in the High Desert for about a year, and I&#8217;m tired of staying at home by myself all day while I look for work. I&#8217;m pretty awesome; took my SATs twice, which I think says a lot, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Art of Being a Consumer Whore</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As an English major, I chose to give myself a break from ancient texts by supplementing my studies with a creative writing elective. The degree electives are four-course blocks, and one of said courses was English 408: Writing Poetry.

		<title>This might look like a post, but it&#8217;s actually a cry for help</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My motivational level is at an all time low, and for those of you who didnâ€™t know me in middle school, thatâ€™s saying a hell of a lot. Iâ€™m home all day long. If I werenâ€™t a lazy ass, this place would look like Mr. Cleanâ€™s sparkling genie palace. But I am, in fact, a [...]]]></description>

		<title>I know that I&#8217;m not fat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been trying to lose 10 to 15 pounds. I have been trying to do this for a while, half-assed, but I&#8217;m really getting into it now. Honest. Cardio every day.

		<title>A manifesto, of sorts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I believe that if you choose to live and work in this country, the ability to speak, read, and write in English should be a requirement. No one is forced to come here; it is a choice. By choosing to make a living in the United States, a person should acknowledge certain societal norms, namely, [...]]]></description>

		<title>One helluva week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let it never be said that spring break is anything but crazy.While most stories of break adventures involve cabana boys, wet t-shirt contests, and more tequila than is advisable, my stuck-in-the-house-because-I-have-no-money break has been just as wild. Minor things out of the way first. I have glasses now, and my first two fillings ever. I [...]]]></description>
