IT'S HAPPENING! Plus Say Anything and Reggie and the Full Effect are both playing their first albums for the tour.

I bought a ticket to the Orlando show and am going to fly down to Florida so I can go with my best friends from high school. I also bought a ticket for the Charlotte show, but I'm not sure if I'm going or not.

Let's talk about how great Saves The Day is.

I have a client that just turned 13 and was trying to think of what age-appropriate activities I could be encouraging him to do, that aren't electronics. But, I thought it'd be fun to remember what we were all doing at that age, appropriate or not.

When I was 13, I smoked weed for the first time, had my first kiss, and was suuuuper into Incubus. I was finally allowed to walk up to the local grocery store (it was across a really busy road), so my neighbor and I would do that pretty regularly for a while to get candy and stuff. My "boyfriend" would walk over from his neighborhood sometimes and we'd hang out on my front porch. I don't really remember doing much else, really.

Anyone got any good ghost stories?

I'm pretty sure I finally saw my first ghost! Late Friday night I was sitting on my bed on my laptop, and out of the top of my vision I saw a nicely dressed older gentleman walk out of my closet and across the room to/through my dresser before he disappeared. He was very faint, almost like a mist, and while he didn't look at me or say anything, he seemed upset that my room was so messy. After he disappeared I felt kinda bad and told him out loud that I was sorry my room was so messy, but I'd been really sad and would try to start cleaning it in the morning. I haven't seen or heard from him since, but I told him it's cool if he wants to hang out.

I could also have been really drunk/high/sleepy/etc. but this was SUPER clear, not like a passing "did I just see that?" moment.

I hate running so much. I'm always afraid I'm gonna trip, I never remember to breathe properly, and I inevitably get side cramps. To be fair, I'm 5'3" 200lbs so I'm expecting this to be difficult.

Any pointers for people just starting out running? Breathing techniques? Ways to pace yourself? How to fend off those awful side cramps?

Anyone know of where to start when looking for psychiatrists and therapists when your insurance doesn't cover it?

I do have insurance, but Aetna HMO is weird and isn't accepted a lot around here (I'm assuming because Tricare is a lot easier to deal with in a military town). I could theoretically afford about $200 or so a month for psychiatry and therapy, in which case I may as well just get off my mom's insurance (I have to by the end of the year anyway) and find a plan that covers local doctors.

Thoughts, adults of the pix board?

How do you make this not fucking awkward? Just give it time?
