Running Amok the Pseudo Single-Gal Way

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

It’s funny when the guy you’re seeing- who you might also now be calling BOYFRIEND(!)- goes out of town for a week to some IT Spark-plug Doohickey Fanciness Come-to-the-Motherboard 2009 Conference. In his absence, all manner of “single-gal” debauchery takes place. Debaucherous stuff like wearing those full-coverage, decidedly unsexy cotton undies when it’s not even [...]

To Be Kissed

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

A not unhandsome man walked past me on the train this morning, smelling decidedly male. A combination of shaving cream, after shave, deodorant, cologne, man-ness. He had just the right amount of presence- not too strong, not too faint. Just enough to make me…want. I breathed it in as my mind wandered from my collection [...]

Give It To Me Tough

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

I’m kind of addicted to a new TV show: Tough Love on VH1. This is the show, for those of you who haven’t seen it, that takes a gaggle of women who are dating challenged (aren’t we all) and gives them feedback on what they’re doing wrong in order to be matched with someone by [...]

[Noun] Valentine's Day, My [Adjective] [Plural Noun]

Friday, February 13th, 2009

Because I heart you guys, I’ve whipped up a little valentine of my own for you. Do it with the one you love, with your best friend, with a co-worker (just don’t get fired), or even with that hot girl at Argo (that was for you, Emo). Be as naughty or as nice as you like. And, [...]

Totally Effed

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

A couple of months ago, my lady doctor recommended I switch up my birth control. Last summer, the one I had previously been on for 10 years let me down, resulting in my fainting on public transportation and an unfortunate Visit that lasted for THREE whole weeks. As bad as all that was though, I’d [...]

The One in Which I Totally Lose My Shit

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

Remember when Big had to move to Paris for work and (after her initial freak out) Carrie was all “We can make this work. And if things get really bad, I’ll move there too and write Le Sex in the City?” Yeah, I’m there right now. I’m my own giant plate of crazy this morning. It’s [...]

Boyfriended

Monday, January 19th, 2009

Well, then, let’s talk about the boy. Is it possible, I wondered a week after having met him, that my interest could be caught again so soon? So soon after that thing that happened last March, after North Shore lost his luster, after The Cagey One threw me for a loop? I know I’ve been [...]
