Sorry doesn’t cut it
Newt, in order to be forgiven you have to be at least a little contrite. Better head back to the jewler’s.

Mafia
It’s official — the owner of Megaupload.com, Kim “Dotcom” Schmitz, is the most interesting person ever. He was convicted of Abuse of Titles during the dotcom boom. I didn’t even know there was an Abuse of Titles charge. He lives in a $30 millilon mansion. Until his arrest, he was the No. 1 ranked MW3 player in the world. Oh, and he takes the best photos ever. Google him: http://bit.ly/xLVAuD

Sick of slipping

I’m really tired of the icy sidewalks. It’s safer to walk in the middle of the road, which is just what I plan to do. So if you see some random girl, feel free to smile and wave. And please don’t hit me…
— Elizabeth

Dream big
In the past few days I’ve watched two seasons of “The Buried Life.” What do I want to do before I die? Own a ranch.

So true
Cinderella is proof that a new pair of shoes can change your life.
— Rhiannon

First world problems
It’s a recipe for disaster when your country has an obesity epidemic and a skinny jean fad.
— Theo

Professional opinion
I think we’re addicted to technology.
— Vicky

Here’s to next season
I’m not sure how, but Idaho football is landing a kid who also had offers from Houston and Baylor. Add that to the three-star safety and give coach Robb Akey a round of applause.
— Madison

Words of wisdom
As I go through life’s experiences, I’ve realized that in order to be successful you will need curiosity, kindness, stamina and above all else, a willingness to occasionally make yourself look stupid.
— Britt

$$$
This space for rent.
— Amrah

Circles are round
I remember once in kindergarten when I was supposed to be cutting circles, but instead I was cutting out whatever shape I wanted. My teacher scolded me and made me throw my cutouts away, redraw circles and then cut them out carefully following the line. Didn’t we all have those moments as children when we wanted to do things our way, but were told by an adult that we couldn’t because that’s not the way things are? Listen to “Flowers are Red” by Harry Chapin, it will rock your world.
