		<description>Dang, dude.  I juggled 3 for a bit after undergrad, but not nearly as well (ie, as frequently or for as long) as you did!  

Great storytelling here.  Is it &quot;storytelling&quot; when it&#039;s true?  VH-1 seems to think so, so I&#039;m going to agree.

		<description>I kind of think all men should have a Zelda in their past. And I kind of wish I were more of a Zelda. Sometimes. 

Loved this.

		<description>&quot;So, I finally made a decision.....

I broke up with the sorority girl &quot;

hahahahahahahahaha. Sorry, that cracked me up.

-------------------------------------------
I have rethought my previous comment and decided that actually, I used to be you. Also disturbing.

		<description>Hold the phone. As a woman struggling to live outside of the shadow of her mother&#039;s life, I hope that we do not all share that fate.

I also married a man that is very different than my father.

		<description>That is one of the greatest stories I have ever read. 
Worthy of F. Scott himself.

		<description>Oh, that&#039;s such a sad ending.  I mean, a story like that has to have a sad ending I guess, but the note is so sad.

I have heard that if you want to find out how it would be to be married to a woman, make sure and meet her mother.  And I&#039;ve also heard that if you want to know if you&#039;d like being married to a guy, check out how he treats his mother.

		<description>Well, I hate that it took such an extreme situation for you to see what was to come with Zelda, but better before than after a serious commitment.

I think you&#039;re right. She was destined to be her mother.</description>
