It’s not too early to begin thinking about Halloween in DC, an event many put a lot of time and effort into dressing up for. This writer has a conflicted relationship with it. It starts like this:
Generally, I don't like Halloween. The idea of dressing up to drink annoys me ...
100 Things about Me
I’m not a girl, not yet a wino
But one thing isn’t true – and see if you can figure out which one. It’s a fun and snappy read. It starts like this: 
Generally, conventionally hot men do not appeal to me in the slightest.
I spent part of my sixth-grade year living in a thatched-roof cottage in Belgium. The smell of both bananas and popcorn make me sick to my stomach.
I can't for the life of me truly understand the law of supply and demand.
