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 [...]
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.

There are countless stories I could tell from the experience and about the people I met (honestly, some very good ones), but one person in particular seems to keep crossing my path online.

As bad as all that was though, I’d [...]
Hummus. I like hummus. I never knew this. Not until I met The One Who’s Making Me Cry These Days. He loves it and (I’d say) has a genuine cultural reason for it, as opposed to most “White People.” The kid grew up in Saudi Arabia and I guess you could say it’s like French [...]
(Warning: you are about to witness one of the ugliest parts of my character. Welcome to the fold.) Well, I was happy. Loverboy and I lasted just over two months. And now I’m one more single girl out there going through another god damned break up. Yeah, I’d say I’m a bit pissed off right now. And you [...]
