Dodging the Engagement Ring Bullet

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

I found out the other day from the mutual friend who introduced us that North Shore, the guy I dated for a few months last summer, is engaged. To the girl he dated mere weeks after me.

Lost Friend Report: Last Seen As Bride At Wedding

Monday, September 7th, 2009

Recently, my boyfriend and I decided (well, he kind of just came along because he’s good like that) to visit Mara and her husband. We planned to stay for one night, after which we couldn’t wait to get the hell out of there. As he accurately and cleverly put it, he felt as though we [...]

On Growing Older But Not Necessarily Up

ISO Guy with Dentist Pen

I’ve been to see “He’s Just Not That Into You.” After having read the book and immediately returning it years ago (I was deep in denial when nearly half the book pointed out that my long term relationship was with someone who apparently wasn’t “that into me”), I was prepared to hate this movie. In [...]

Thank You, Beyoncé

We’ve discussed this before…just not with the scary alien-looking hand hardware or all that fearless hip gyrating (seriously, isn’t she afraid something might, uh, slip out?).

One Side of Two

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

Someone asked me the other day if Kit was real, and I couldn’t help but laugh a little to myself. I couldn’t make him up, nor the last five years of emotions and experiences even if I had the most prized ghostwriter. He has been my deepest love and my deepest sadness. And he is [...]
