Things that made me cry this week: this Dear Sugar Column about a woman convinced she’s going to get cancer because of her family history. Oh my.

The Bachelor Canada application is ridiculous*
Some of the questions are pretty standard: name, age, occupation, gender. How would your friends describe you? What do you look for in a man?

OK.
Twice in two days now I have told people deep dark secrets, and both times the reaction has been of the *shurgs* “Yeah, so what?” variety, and maybe my secrets aren’t so deep and dark and I should stop worrying about them so much.
