Time flies when you're single and drunk.

And I have to say, after 60 some-odd columns that started way back in '09, time has surely flown. And despite the fact that I was touched by the hand of melancholia at a young age, and despite spending a lot of my time feeling, on some level, alone, I'm feeling pretty good.

Maybe it's the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell," maybe it's the holiday spirit, maybe it's all the red wine I've consumed in the past hour. It's probably all three. Whatever it is, I'm glad I'm feeling this way, because I have to do something I hate doing ...

I have to say goodbye.

Let's not spare too many words on the fact that this is my last column. It saddens me for a lot of selfish and myopic reasons. (Who wouldn't love a paid, public venue to anonymously air his neuroses?)

But more so because over the past year I've had a lot of fun writing these posts and reading the comments and emails they prompted. To everyone who took the time to read even one of these things, thank you. And to show you that I mean it, I'm dedicating this final column to you, the readers who reached out, emailed, commented, or tried to steal my Bank of America card number.

Joke's on you, hackers -- I don't have a "savings account." So this column is yours. I couldn't have done it without you.

Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook (perhaps you've heard of it?), gave a rousing TED Talk recently about the lack of female leaders in the world. Instead of bemoaning all the things that have kept us down in the ranks at work and in government, she wanted to talk more about all the things we as women can do to break the glass ceiling.

The biggest problems Sandberg discussed in her speech are:

• We are too quick to attribute our successes to factors outside of ourselves, and we let other people participate instead of insisting that it's our turn.

• We do too much of the housework despite the fact that we work just as much as our partners.

• We pull back from work as soon as we even start thinking about maybe possibly having a baby.

These are all excellent points. For whatever reason, as necessity, freedom, and insistence have earned women the opportunity to work, somehow our cultural landscape has not caught up with our employment records. We can work, but it's expected to fit neatly into our schedules, with no changes in how we do our duties at home, and how we are traditionally expected to behave.

We know what'll cheer you up this holiday season -- at least the gifts you're getting this Christmas haven't been totally ruined by some forest punk with a big stink sac and a bad attitude.

Well, prepare to take those good feelings and turn them into guilt, because while *your* fancy-schmancy Christmas presents might be fine and dandy, there's a whole bunch of kids in Oklahoma whose Christmas has been ruined.

The toys sprayed by the skunk were collected donations for Operation Christmas -- a charity in Purcell, Oklahoma. About $16,000 worth of toys were ruined by the Anal Glands that Stole Christmas. A few are salvageable, but most are too foul to give away.

The presents were meant to be distributed on Christmas Eve, but now the people of Purcell are trying to get enough donations to meet the demand. A Pro-Tip for next year: store the toys inside, rather than in a shed. But hindsight's always 20/20 in these skunk-ruining-an-entire-town's-Christmas scenarios, right?

There are some things -- like your Aunt Sally's breast size and your dorky cousin's new arm candy -- that will likely surprise you this holiday season. And then, thankfully, there are the things that stay the same year after year after year. Tell us: What's kind of festive rituals does your family stick to every December? Do you guys go off-key caroling around your neighborhood or pull out Scrabble after Christmas dinner?

We've all seen NBC's "The Biggest Loser." It's amazing. Did you know that there is a line of activewear inspired by the show? Well, now you do.

It's kind of amazing, too.

"16 and Pregnant" and "Teen Mom" gave us an inside look at how young moms deal with the hardships that come along with being a kid who has a kid. And now MTV is looking at the other side of unplanned pregnancy, and tackling abortion.

"No Easy Decision" will follow one former "16 and Pregnant" subject named Markai, who is considering this option after getting pregnant for the second time, EW.com reported.

The special also feature Dr. Drew, who will speak with young women who terminated their own pregnancy and why they decided to go that route. MTV plans to bring all sides of the issue to light including the why contraception is vital as well as what happens to women who go through this.

"No Easy Decision" will premiere on MTV on Dec. 28 at 11:30 p.m. While this might be a downer during the holidays, it should be at least as interesting as whatever family drama you have going on that day.
