Here’s something not everyone knows about me: While I may seem tough, silly, sarcastic, jaded, unemotional, or some crazy combination of all those traits, it’s because when I actually DO feel things, I feel them so deeply that it’s completely disarming.

Not in the sense that I don’t believe in equal rights for women, but in the sense that I don’t fall into the militant, extremist, Birkenstock-loving, bra-burning category the media tends to perpetuate. Also, I have big tits – so I need my bra. My personal realization that…
