True Story: What I “Learned” in Sex Ed

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Perhaps it should first be noted that these random MAGICAL musings are brought to you by some wicked 3 a.m. insomnia. So, whilst lying in bed tweeting and challenging my Google Reader to a duel (you may say 78 unread, but I. Will. Win.), my mind wandered to some, er,  different places. Apparently, a lot [...]

We Wish You A Merry Ex-mas

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

What is it about the holidays that makes people who haven’t felt the need to say “hi” or “I’m sorry” or “I miss you” throughout the other 11 months of the year come out of the woodwork? This Christmas especially seemed to be strewn with ex-boyfriends/ ex-somebodies. It was almost as though they felt a [...]

Toolbag Wednesday #25: Tiger and His Menagerie of Mistresses

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

Not to be a jerk or anything, but let’s have a little chat about the whole Tiger Woods thing, shall we? I should preface what I’m about to say with a ”cheating is never okay, nor EVER justified” disclaimer. That said, can any of us really be that surprised that he cheated? People cheat all of the [...]

Man-Boys: What’s a Girl to Do?

Friday, November 13th, 2009

It may sound like that tired old adage, but I have to ask- exactly what does a man serve to gain by getting married anymore when he seemingly can get as much, if not more, by not? Or, alternatively as my friend Emo says, “why lock it down when you can get The Ill-Freaky Na-Na [...]

Idle Hands

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Sometimes I really fucking hate the Internet. The way it enables people to have separate lives, conversations, flirtations. I hate google in particular. The way it enables those lives to become less separate. Knowing too much is right at my fingertips. You think you know a person, and then you google them, and learn all [...]

Older, But Wiser?

Monday, August 24th, 2009

A friend of mine is turning 24 later this week. Twenty-four. She looks more like she’s 19! The really funny thing about it though is that she actually thinks she’s getting old. Call it a design flaw of my mind, but I can’t help thinking about what I was like at her age (and yes, [...]

One is Silver, The Other Gold

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

For over a month now, I’ve had something dismaying weighing on my mind and have held my tongue (or typing fingers rather) out of respect, then defiance, and ultimately anger. I am losing a friend. I’ve lost friends before and am likely to again, but nothing about it gets easier with age or time. Admittedly, [...]
