I have never felt like a bigger douche buying pineapple flavored coconut water but I don’t even care. It is so good. #sorryimnotsorry

Yes, I did almost get evicted.  A few thought-provoking follow-up questions to this story: -How is it that the most romantic thing a boy has ever done for me occurred during my junior year of high school with a boy who I never dated who is now a Mormon missionary?  -How did a boy who thought it would be okay to throw lighter fluid into a pool get into Harvard? -Has it really been over three years since? Really? -Do high-schoolers do this in other parts of the country?

RIP Etta James: The legendary singer’s death was just announced — she died of complications from leukemia, and also suffered from dementia and hepatitis C. “Etta James is unmanageable,” claimed manager Lupe DeLeon (a big fan), “and I’m the closest thing she’s ever had to a manager.” Here’s her best-known song, “At Last.” She was 73.
