The List. (aka: BOYS.)

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

This is a look through my dating past.  Some names have been changed or omitted.  And as long as my memory serves me right, this should be a complete list (as of posting it) and in chronological order.
I’m starting this from my college years – but if you really want to know I had 12 [...]

how to make friends, then get wasted… (or: my first tweetup)

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

So, 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, 2009

I 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 [...]

dating – I’m still trying (or: explaining Dani’s two call rule)

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

When it comes to dating (not necessarily relationships) and pursuing people, I’ve had some interesting experiences since my last relationship (which ended 4 years ago).  For a while, I wasn’t ready to date again — not necessarily because I was “so heart broken” but because of some other life events as well.  However, when I [...]

greetings! from… not new zealand….

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

Well I’ve returned from my short-lived affair, gallivanting with kiwis… Though my love for Jemaine will never die, there are just things here in the Second City I can’t abandon… not to mention the whole long-term girlfriend/WIFE that he’s got…
I’ve got responsibilities to my kittens (who celebrated their first birthday a couple weeks ago… well, [...]

we meet again… (my return to internet dating)

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

So about a month ago I disabled my okc account.  I was just tired of it, bored really.  Which given that I had signed up as a means of something to do when I was bored, well, it had defeated its purpose.
I had been getting some decent messages.  That is how I met* the swell [...]

shenanigans and band-nerdary: a tale of my wednesday…

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

I need to start off right away that there would be no story of my night if it wasn’t for the encouragement of Ollie to actually go out.
That’s right.  Yesterday, despite having looked forward to my evening since about 2pm and even having purchase tickets a week in advance, I was seriously contemplating just skipping [...]

of shenanigans, cookies, martians and rocking out…

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

So, I had a decently packed weekend.  I wasn’t booked solid, but it was indeed busy.  — so prepare yourself for a bit of a post…
Friday after work, as was mentioned, was the department party.
It’s always great to see drunk coworkers running amok through a mansion.  Or hyped up, sugar-crazy kids running through a mansion.  [...]

when it snows it…

Friday, December 19th, 2008

Well, nature definitely brought it.
I have no idea how much snow we got, but it’s enough to make walking a good workout.  It also makes me love my boots so much more and the fact that I got nearly-knee-high so the snow drifts are no issue for me.  Well, minus the awkward attempt to stumbling [...]

but it looks so pretty out…

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

… yeah no. Nature is just toying with us. Making us think that today’s a nice winter day… when later tonight we’re going to be attacked by freezing rains and somewhere between 5-12 inches of more snow.
So, how do I plan on biting my thumb at nature tonight?
Well, first… Dani and I are [...]
