There will be no more British guys. Unless they are members of the royal family, of course.

One of the reasons that I think I do love to write is because I did have a difficult childhood and not so great teenage years. It always helped me escape from my problems.

But things were different now. I finally had my head -pun intended- on straight.

When something horrible happens, it's human nature to want to blame it on someone. We want someone to be held accountable, even though sometimes things just happen.
