I swear I'm trapped in an episode of "Six Feet Under", only instead of Nate Fisher, I've got Snead, the red-haired ex-con forcing me to speak as if projecting to the back row.

There is some unwritten statute of limitations on how long one can whine about a crappy childhood, a negligent parent, a few too many chicken pot pies...

The aftermath of a real-life fairy tale, without the scripted ending. 

How do you spell crippling inability to connect? 

There's nothing more smug and insidious than a girl who has finally fallen in love and thinks she now has all the answers.
