Text-appropriate

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

Very rarely are text messages from me appropriate. Besides being all thumbs on my shitty flip-phone, I am guilty of texting at insane hours without time concept (re: insomnia) or being overly sarcastic or ahem, “notty” (seriously, I don’t think most guys know how to spell this word)… or ack, while imbibed. The conversations are [...]

A hug will do

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

Yesterday was a horrible day.  Nay, the week has been pretty horrible. And more than just because I missed your weekly dose of Penis Tuesday.
For good measure, I’ve stocked up Sleepytime Tea (new and improved and enhanced with Valerian) and it seems to be helping with my insomnia. And I have been in bed TIRED [...]

There are no bad dates. Just assholes for setting us up with them.

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

After chortling over a received text message with the words: date FAIL!, I thought about what makes for a good date and likewise for the bad. Cleveland Magazine asked me a similarly worded query years (ack, five) ago, and I think it’s still on point. Activity-based dates are still on the top of my list; [...]

Pursuit of advice

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

Every now and and again, I receive an e-mail requesting advice. While experienced in dishing good advice to others, I rarely listen to my own Rules of Bullshit. Today, I turn to my readers for their suggestions to Relationship FAIL. Please leave a snip of advice in the comments. I’ll give my thoughts tomorrow. You [...]

Penis Tuesday

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

It’s not too often that I’m inspired about penises from other women bloggers — mostly just by stalkers, lurkers and creepy third-floor neighbors. That being said, today’s inspiration brought to you by Allison from Confessions of a Cohabitant.
The 12-year-old penis mind of a 29-year-old male with penis

Boyfriends make for good . . .

Monday, January 19th, 2009

This was a weekend in which I was reminded how fun it is having a boyfriend.
Friday night, HG & I went to Melt because boyfriends make for good grilled cheese partners-in-crime. Well, first we waited a LONG time for Melt, then we ate Melt. As sad as it is to make the statement that I [...]

Yeah. 2009. No witty tagline.

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

Here’s what I said I would attempt to accomplish in 2008.
You know, as far as resolutions go and stuff.
1. Writing goals: shit out of luck on most of these. I never really found more of a motivation to write other than here on this blog — in which I think I did OK. Cleveland Magazine [...]

Penis Tuesday

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

Hot and cold. On and off. Turn it counter-clockwise…  I can’t keep up anymore.
Can I just get a cold, clear drink of your faucet, please? And clean up all that hair!

Some people get mad, some get angry, some ride bulls. None is inducive to solving any relationship ills.

Fifteen whole days away. Sheesh. If ever someone needed a vacation, it would be me. I had so much going on during my hiatus. I probably should have kept a journal. (I know most of you were keeping up with me on twitter).
First for Christmas, was meeting HG’s family in western Ohio. I failed at [...]

Worth repeating?

Friday, January 9th, 2009

Sent in email to a good friend: Yeah, I really like him. And it scares me shitless.
That makes perfect sense, right?
Sorry for the neglect, Internets. Apparently I lost my free wifi signal at home while I was away, and haven’t had much in the way of extra time these last few days (or motivation to [...]

Maybe I need some resolutions

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

Whew. I am beat. While still on vacation, I am completely exhausted. Thankfully, HG is out on the golf course, so I can lazily move from bed-to-pool with greatest of humbleness.
Phoenix is fantastic. I’ve added a shade of red to my skin lounging around the pool and hiking Mummy Mountain. I have also acquired some [...]
