It is common knowledge that guys generally like Sadie Hawkins dances, while girls generally don’t. Also common knowledge is the supposed reason for this: guys are happy to be relieved of the elaborate pre-dance ritual that is the “ask,” while girls think it’s a pain. For me, the real issues concerning the Sadie Hawkins dance…
We’ve just begun a new year, a year with potential for great things, a year full of promise–without the fear of “the world ending–as predicted by the Mayan calendar.” In 2013, however, we also have more powerful technology than ever before, just as previous years’ have had, yet we may have lost control of…
