| Posted by Trisha De Gracia on 02/11/08 at 05:23 AM Tell me about it. There's something in his fake smile and little nod when you say that that makes every yesterday-girl on earth wanna slap him. Mainly because you know he knows you're lying to him. Nice piece. You grabbed me. |

| Posted by Steven Kenworthy on 02/15/08 at 03:22 AM smart & real. very real. i think its the samaritan in us that insists on giving off these false impressions...either way, it's a rather gruelling, yet beautiful part of life in my opinion. |

| Posted by Wendy Sparling on 02/16/08 at 09:22 PM Well done, Jolie. Everyday, I'm asked "How are you?" and the answer is always "Fine". My life is most always up and down, but who really wants to know the truth? |

| Posted by John Smith on 03/21/11 at 03:35 AM I really like this. It feels open. |
| Posted by Meghan Helmich on 09/19/11 at 02:07 PM I once heard that when someone answers that they are 'fine,' it actually means F'd up, Insecure, Neurotic, and Emotional. This piece really illustrates that, what goes on underneath the smile. |
