casual encounters: adventures with craigslist

Friday, March 6th, 2009

So, apparently Craigslist is getting sued for promoting prostitution…
Now, I won’t deny that this is probably going on and is a serious issue… But I’m not also going to deny that I haven’t perused the casual encounters section of craigslist before… or that I’ve posted there myself.
Before you get your panties in a bunch, you [...]

musings on my (internet) dating life.

Monday, January 19th, 2009

Ok.  Well.  I sort of feel the desire to say that, in reference to my previous post (see here: iCrush), that I am not “very much in love” with anyone.  I am infatuated, curious, and ensnared by their display of online attractiveness.  I just happen to like the word “smitten”… (and for that matter “smite” [...]

bffs for life.

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

First, yes, I understand what “bff” means, and yes, I mean forever for life.  That, and I find it humorous when tweens and teens say such things.  I think I’ve actually heard/read “BFFs Forever!” … yeah.  We’ve got some winners out there in the up-and-coming generations…
Anyway.  I do want to talk about one of my [...]

where Chrissy and Rini babysit…

Monday, January 12th, 2009

Chrissy’s visit was all too short.
It was great, but she had some things to do at home…
The concert was great… an amazing number of attractive guys there.  It was also a really interesting line up… all 4 bands were a bit different… and they were all somewhat enjoyable in their own measure.  Personally, I liked [...]

wardrobe malcontent

Friday, January 9th, 2009

In a few hours my lovely Chrissy and I will be making our way into the city for a night of giggling, drinking, and flirting (though not with each other on that last one)… I’m not the only one with friends in a band who’s got a concert tonight (Mucca Pazza is playing the Empty [...]

Buy U a Drank, aka Chrizzle’s visiting!

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

so today’s the day I’ve been waiting for…  months, waiting for months… or at least a hell of a long time.
My rockstar, Chrissy, is coming to town!
She left the city a while ago… way back in 2007… and went off to pursue her MSW… which should hopefully be complete this year.  And now, it’s my [...]

damn it feels good to be a gangster

or: Things I Am Thankful For 2008

1. Lil G
Most adorable niece ever.  Seriously.  She never ceases to amaze me, and is a pretty smart little girl.  I just want to spoil her, more so than she already is.  Plus, she gets bonus points for knowing all of the words to Rhianna’s “Umbrella” — as tired [...]

home, bittersweet home….

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

I moved to the Second City in June 2007.
I decided to move in May… I had thought about it before, but well, Chrissy sort of pushed that to a firm yes.  I think it may have taken me two weeks to find an apartment, sign a lease, and then move in to said apartment.
I was [...]

the daily habituals…

Friday, October 17th, 2008

So… I’ve actually been thinking of my morning routine for a few weeks now…. and I decided to share it (along with my whole day) with you. (aw, yay. .. right?)
Weekdays…

6:13a – alarm goes off, I’m either out of bed already, or debating whether to pull my comforter over my head…
Shower — hot, [...]

Grab life by the … (thoughts on crushes)

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

Recently, Mennogirl shared about some of her frustrations with crushes…
This has sort of been a topic amongst the group for a bit, and well, my gorgeous friend Chrissy and I discuss the male species quite often.  I will say, we don’t necessarily harp on the issue of singleness.  Generally it’s about being simultaneously excited, pessimistic, [...]
