there’s epic, and then there’s EPIC. (my weekend with the bloggers)
Monday, June 29th, 2009Thinking about all of what just happened in the last three and a half-ish day is a bit crazy. The premise is pretty simple: a large group of 20sb-ers descended upon the city for a weekend of good times. And overall, that’s exactly what my weekend was.
Though I had met a small handful of these [...]
congratulations, I think… (coping with your ex’s new life)
Thursday, June 25th, 2009With all our ways of keeping connected, you can generally find out all sort of interesting bits about people’s lives through facebook and twitter. Recently, facebook decided to share an interesting bit of information with me. My ex is engaged.
Yep. This would be the ex. It seems everyone has one. Sean’s mine. We dated for [...]
Single female seeking… (or: how to earn bonus points)
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009We all have our little lists of ideals and must haves for our potential mates… No sense in hiding it — admit it, you have at least 3 things you’re looking for in a partner. For some people the list is completely make or break. Others treat it more like guidelines.
I’m not about to get [...]
cupcakes, fishes, and por-shoes (in other words, my weekend)
Monday, June 22nd, 2009Weekends are too short. Especially when you start packing in as much as possible. Or at least in my case, when you try to pack as much in just one day.
I spent Saturday at home. I had thought about going out, but really apathy took over for most of the day. I did manage to [...]
itty bitty kitty update
Friday, June 19th, 2009My kittens got fixed this week. I’ll have more about that later. But yeah… my kittens had an interesting couple days since then. Little kitties got stoned off their meds. They seem to be doing well though.
things I learned from turning 25
Monday, June 15th, 2009Nature doesn’t care about your plans or the fact that you were expecting 20-30 people plus dogs to show up at the beach, had puppy party bags all made up, as well as the perfect outfit picked out and that this whole day is supposed to be all about you (aka ME)… Nature says “Nice [...]
there’s been an increase of pink in my life
Thursday, June 11th, 2009Last weekend, before the tweetup, I decided to change the hair up a bit more… I’d done light pink (aka “cotton candy pink”) just recently, but determined that it wasn’t pink enough… Well, I think I’ve got it this time.
Talk to me a few years ago, and I don’t know if I would have believed [...]
how to make friends, then get wasted… (or: my first tweetup)
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009So, I’ve given you a very brief overview of my weekend, in which yes, I met some really awesome local bloggers. In fact, this was my very first tweetup. (This is when a group of very awesome people get together offline and exude their awesomeness together.)
I wasn’t sure if I would be going at all [...]
weekend brevity
Monday, June 8th, 2009I had a very entertaining weekend. Which might be an understatement. I met some awesome bloggers, drank a lot of alcohol, damn near passed out outside a restaurant, sobered up, went to a Lit Fest with the Virginian, bought more graphic novels, ran into two amazingly awesomely lovely people (Paul and Small Ronnie), and then [...]
so, you want to be a writer? (a conversation with myself)
Friday, June 5th, 2009I sometimes feel that is a loaded question, “So, you want to be a writer?” It’s like saying “So, what are you really going to do with your life while you pretend to be a writer?” The whole, “how are you going to support yourself/your family?” issue. I get it.
Being a writer is challenging — [...]
