I just feel like it all moved a bit fast. There I was, shirtless. And we hadn’t even bantered about our favorite foods. I didn’t even know his middle name. He had no clue of my sorted past with inappropriate men or that I have a constant desire to buy unnecessary office supplies. I didn’t [...]

It’s been twelve days since my last post. Accident? Please. We’re not talking about Denny DelVecchio here. I’m trying to subliminally remind that you that the twelve days of Christmas are just around the corner and it’s in your best interest to put the danish down and put the tree up. Don’t be one of those scrooges that [...]

[Remember when I told you to check out my Blogboyfriend's interview of me last Saturday but then it wasn't there? Yeaaaa, well that's cus he just posted it. Everything you've ever wanted to know about me but were afraid to ask - right here.] There comes a point in all of our lives where each of us [...]

Listen. I’ve already paused the Roseanne marathon. I’ve canceled my plans to work out with Jo, the unofficial roommate. And I’m trying to set down my caramel apple spice long enough to type this, but considering it tastes like Christmas morning exploded in my mouth, I can’t make any promises. Why am I going to such extremes, you [...]

No. This time I didn’t do anything drastic like move to London or start a retail store or give up tanning. But, I did meet up with a complete stranger from New York for a two-day BlogDate in Chicago, which I may have mentioned one, or fifty times, on my FaceSpace. I had to make [...]

Two weeks ago, you entered my home with all of the optimism of Christmas morning. But lately, I feel like we’re at odds. I can’t exactly put my finger on it, but the other night your eyes looked a bit more angry than normal. And I sensed a hinge of animosity in your voice as [...]

[Warning: introspection ahead. So, maybe there are a few things I've failed to mention over the past year. So, maybe I'm mentioning them now.] Seriously, screw January. And all of its dreary, pretend optimism. Here’s the deal: New Years happens in January is because it gives people a shred of hope amid what seems to be an eternal, bleak [...]

I’m currently sitting in a room of the criminal justice center, surrounded by a group of my fellow unbiased peers. I assure you, none of them have formed any prejudices in the course of their lives and they possess the ability, as do I, to hold someone’s fate in their completely non-judgmental hands. Of course, [...]

No, you’re completely right. That never happened. It’s almost like my witty, overly-dramatic titles don’t even fool you anymore. I guess that could be a good thing, cus it means we’re getting past the honeymoon phase of our relationship, eh? But if we’re being honest, which I think we are, my mom never thought it would last.
