		<title>Why am I stupid?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why, oh, why am I stupid? I can&#8217;t stand stupid people, so does this mean I must now despise myself?
Let me explain&#8230;
I recently met a very nice guy. He&#8217;s smart, he&#8217;s fun to hang out with, and he&#8217;s just an all-around good guy. He&#8217;s a very good fit for me. Yet I&#8217;m really not all [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=operawannabe.wordpress.com&blog=3808357&post=131&subd=operawannabe&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have two loves. The first, of course, is music. Otherwise I&#8217;d be some other sort of a wannabe. My second love is cooking. Over the weekend my roommate (K) and I were avoiding being at home due to some problems with our air conditioner, so we went to see the movie Julie &#38; Julia.

At the beginning of a new semester I&#8217;m always one part excited, one part scared, and three parts stressed. Some days I don&#8217;t know how I&#8217;ll make it through, but I always do it somehow. And I always somehow manage [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=operawannabe.wordpress.com&blog=3808357&post=119&subd=operawannabe&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

My first thought after the first few chords of the overture was, &#8220;Man, I thought the orchestra was in tune that night.&#8221; It&#8217;s not in tune on the recording. And many of the singers are quite out of tune.

		<title>Online dating?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night some friends of mine finally got me to make a profile on one of those silly online dating sites. I was surprised by how many men messaged me, but none of them were particularly interesting.
