I have good intentions

I had to re-schedule my date this week, due to a sudden work emergency. Said emergency will also delay me from shopping for the essential last piece of my costume, so eek! Friday is going to be a crazy day.
In other news, I’ve apparently become the worst flake on email answering EVER. I read something, [...]

“to love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance”

I went to a university mostly populated by women. When they visited, my guy friends from high school were delighted to find that they couldn’t make it from the entrance up to the bar without getting hit on by at least four sexually frustrated drunk girls. The men on campus were generally either taken, gay, or jerks that [...]

shaken martinis are weaker

One of the guys from my first speed dating experience just called me out of the blue. It’s been like a month; I cannot for the life of me remember what we talked about then, and I only have the briefest of notes to go on. But we’re going to a sporting event this week. [...]

let this be a lesson to all men

Well, my attempts to embed this video failed horribly, but go here and watch.

I didn’t even watch SNL

You know what sucks? Being unable to go out Saturday night because you have to get up super early Sunday morning. It’s still dark out!

I’ve always wanted to go as the Bride of Frankenstein, but I can’t get my hair to do that

I’m heading out for an evening on the town with Antonia and Joanne tonight. The plan is to drink a lot (complicated, I know). We’re worried about what the projected rainfall will do to our hair. And, possibly, pneumonia.
In other news, I’m trying to decide on a costume for the Seven Deadly Sins party on Halloween. For [...]

apparently arson is no joke

Last night I rounded up a single sidekick and headed out to FastLife’s Oktoberfest Beer Tasting event. It was fabulous, and twice as much fun as my first speed dating event! There were twice as many guys, they were taller and cuter, and the conversations tended towards the goofy, rather than being job interview-esque. My notes, however, suffered immensely. The tables [...]

can it be explained by the economy, like hemlines?

Inevitably, on Monday I crapped out entirely on bra shopping, and went to a matinee instead. This is the beauty of being freelance; on days when you have no work, you get to dick around while serious people go to their offices. Rach and I saw Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist and ate disgustingly buttery popcorn.
I [...]

don’t do laundry while sleep-deprived

As I’ve previously mentioned, I am a babe on a budget. So much so, in fact, that I’m rekindling my love affair with Mr. Noodles. I recently realized that I could put off buying new bras AGAIN because I’d lost enough weight to fit into the old ones I’d been busting (hah!) out of all [...]

I am woman, hear me roar

Ironically, the guy who hasn’t travelled, doesn’t drink, and lives in the boonies was a much more interesting date than Dr. Vanilla. Plus, this one is tall. Unfortunately, I get the distinct impression that I’m too much car for him. He talks a good talk, but I’m pretty sure I could wrap him around my [...]
