I'm about to experience my very first ever alien probing.... My love life kind of sucks at the moment. I'm in a relationship with a devilishly attractive college classmate, Kyle, who, by appearances, is everything a girl could want. With smoldering good looks and a brain the size of a planet, he should by all means be more than enough for me.
