I'm Jodi Chromey, a writer who lives in Minnesota. This is the story of my life. You can reach me at jodi@iwilldare.com.

• Things I Want to Tell You

  • For those playing along at home, I am pleased to announce that Princess Jaycie got the reporter job she was applying for a few weeks ago. However, I learned that the job isn't for the school newspaper but rather the school news network. Bah! [+]

  • You know what I like the most about Juliana Hatfield's Book Notes essay? Not only does she list a Wilson Phillips song and talk of how much she and Evan Dando loved their album, but she disses their lyrical grammar. It's more awesomeness than the law should allow. I haven't read her memoir yet, but I so hope it has an extended chapter about her role as the angel on "My So-Called Life." [+]
