I'm so OCD.
Want to know something I hate? Of course you do. Why wouldn’t you?
I hate, HATE, hate when people say “I’m so OCD about that” or anything along those lines. I hate this for two very specific reasons. First, I’m pretty sure the phrase used to be “I’m so anal about that” until someone decided that it’s more socially acceptable to say OCD. ...

Ode to my Cankle
Ankle, now cankle, you used to be nice, but now you just bug me for elevation and ice. You’re not all that pretty with unsightly scars, and if you were a person, your name would be lars. I wish you would stop being swollen and gross cause not playing quidditch, well that really blows. You’re sort of a robot, though that’s kind of cool. (Guys who wear that get beat...
