Summary

Mortified celebrates 20 years with a friendly beer-league-level competition that pits city vs city. This week, Mortified's LA chapter faces off against Mortified's DC/Baltimore chapter. Stories include: The high school diary of Cynthia, a girl who wrote poems about things like pap smears and fell for guys who weren't exactly into girls. Also, hear the story of Sascha, a girl who uses lists as a way to make sense of a scandalous phase. (May not be appropriate for younger audiences).
