Greatest Hits

Dear reader,

Whether you're reading this because I just posted it or it's far into the future, only one thing matters to me.

You're reading my blog.

Anyway, I put together a list of posts I liked or that I thought you should read to get a better idea about me. The list is divided into two parts, those from my old blog American Twentysomething or those from this blog, American Twentysomething 2.0. The farther down the list you go, the older the post.

Enjoy.

I got to celebrate a World Series win, even if it wasn't my team that won.

Inspired by a fellow blogger, I wrote a bit about the most disastrous relationship I hope to ever experience.

Kind of like the birds and the bees... but much weirder.
