I’m feeling rather nostalgic tonight. And nothing good ever comes from that.
As I was sitting here wondering why Moccasins haven’t tried to make a comeback this summer, I got to thinking about my past relationships. Was there a common thread that linked these terrible relationships? Was I the worst judge of character ever to walk the planet, or were they all just Psycho McPossessivePants? What was it? As always, I put on my Wonder Woman custume, and began my quest for harsh answers…
Smack dab in the middle of eating tacos for the 13th consecutive day and browsing through old photos, an epiphany shone down from the heavens. All of the rationalizing and excuse-making I’d done over the years had absolutely nothing to do with why those relationships didn’t work out. It was something far greater than that, right there, whispering in my jaded ear, and I never paid it any attention. The problem, precisely, was the letter “J.”
I admit, I have a thing for “J’s”… And they have a thing for me. I’m drawn to them like a magnet. Except when we try to date it’s like a spontaneous combustion of everything that is difficult in the world. I.E: James, the slumdog millionaire; Jonny my first breakup, J___, the inspiration behind my most recent Chicken Soup for the Soul story; Jake, who first contacted me through Myspace -as if that wasn’t my first clue; Joe, the person in this story, who introduced me to my meterosexual best friend Kenny. Just to name a few. Wait, did I just go and use everyone’s real names? Wait, what’s that -my backspace is on fritz? Oh, snap.
Phew. Well the search is over. And now at least I know that none of this had anything to do with me.
In conclusion I’d like to announce that I’m officially off the market for all J’s… and gays.

Maybe the fact that you would wear a wonder woman costume in April??

Sweet photo. A woman who is not afraid to don a circa, ah I don’t even remember when Wonder Woman was hot if that’s the word for it, 1975ish? costumue is my hero. Maybe you should just start at the end of the alphabet, of course skipping the J’s, and work backwards. Although I’ve never met a Zane before but you may get lucky. Let us know when you hit pay dirt.

You know, this is really interesting. The “J” thing starts early. As an elementary school teacher and now as a principal, I’ve noticed that boys with J names have a much higher rate of discipline problems in school. Justin, Jeremy, Jacob, Joshua . . . they’re all obnoxious little brats.
This can’t be a coincidence.

thanks Jen. I think i do deserve some major props for that. starting backwards sounds good like a good idea. p.s. wonder woman is always hot.

I compiled an alphabet of exes a few years ago. Terrifyingly, only a few letters were missing.
So, if there are any Xaviers or Quentins out there who’d like to help make up the numbers, do let me know.
I had lots of Js. And Ss. And A(rseholes).

Interesting theory (as are almost all theories that spring from wearing a Wonder Woman costume). I wonder if that explains why my relationship with Jenna Jameson has never really gone anywhere.

Sexy costume Brit. If you notice your hit count doubling over the next few days, don’t be alarmed. It’s just the 10,000 comic book geeks that are now using your website as a source for “spank material”.
You may not realize it, but right now your image is producing more frosting from the thirty year old virgin demographic, than Duncan Hines makes in a year!

Apparently we share a similar problem. One of my friends forbids me to date any girls with a name that begins with ‘M’ due to my wonderful past with them. I haven’t encountered any more ‘M’s recently, so I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.

Not sure why you’re so quick to dismiss the untapped gay market. Different perspective and fruitier flavors in that pool. Plus, you’d be less likely to contend with the frosting you so despise.

Girls whose names end in “i” are usually total bitches…Lori, Sheri, Teri, but it’s not their fault. The “i” at the end of their name is a constant reminder that it’s all about them, makes them more ego centric. I blame the parents.

Being a community-renowned comic book fanboy(fanman now; I been drankin’ milk), I’m always eerily attracted to a woman wearing a Wonder Woman suit (or a birthday suit).
I’m glad my name begins with ‘G’. :)But, damn, if you speak Spanish, it’s Jorge. That doesn’t count, does it?
Whatever. Great blog, Brit! There oughtta be a tv show of your life with you doing the voice-overs instead’a Daniel Stern. You could call it The Blunted Years.
Oh, wait…that’s MY life story.

michael- i agree. names that end in “i” have a certain white trashyness to them. traci, tiffani, blah blah. OH, sorry if i offended any potential readers. I have a knack for doing that. but really… your name should, by all rights, end with a Y

thats right. the spanish equivalents of names totally escaped me.. you’re screwed. a couple of years ago,i might not have said it counted - but now that i’m older and wiser..i must proceed with caution.
do you have ANY idea how many times i’ve been told that my life should be a movie / book?

J’s can be bad, but I also avoid D’s. I did not have good luck with that letter. P’s used to be bad too, but I married a P. So I guess just avoid D’s then. D’s suck.
