Until someone mentioned it in the office today, I did not realize that Josh Peck (right) from the Nickelodeon show Drake & Josh was the main character in The Wackness.

I like pickle juice. You know, the brine that comes in the jar full of dill pickles? I like it. When my pickles are done, or close to being done, I kind of drink it when I take a pickle out. It may taste weird to you, but that’s one of the biggest reasons I like pickles. Besides their awesome taste, the liquid they’re made in is also good.

We talk and I fight the urge to tell him that when we speak, the breakup no longer makes sense. We’re so natural around each other. I know it’s too soon to say it, so I don’t say anything about it.

I also take much greater offense when called spoiled than a bitch, slut, or tease. It’s really insulting to me because I’ve worked every summer since I graduated 8th grade, and now during the year, and have had to buy most of what I have wanted myself, not with my parents’ money. Hell, they won’t even help me pay for college.
