I had the name “Pat McCrotch” printed on a sticker for my second car - a silver, nothing-power-operated Honda Civic, who was a total bitch when it came time to having an accidental spin out on I-71N. Yeah, my dad didn’t like that so much. The sticker or the accident, I digress. He also didn’t [...]
Cleveland Scene Magazine posted a survey to learn all about your sexy, sexy time (and the people within it).
Dare to answer honestly? I’m super curious as to how other Clevelanders would respond, especially to the “cheating” question.
Oh, Scene… just make me a judge already.
There are prizes for awesome answers — but NOBODY will be identified [...]
The last two nights have been wonderfully good-hearted and spirited.
Thanks to a charity beauty event hosted by blogger pal All Lacquered Up, a few of us friends and bloggers were able to contribute to a good cause — all in the name of discounted beauty products. Our event raised over $700 for Dress [...]
Yes, I’m old enough to remember accessing the internet by means of dial-up, slow-as-balls 96 baud connection to BBS boards… and well, when there wasn’t really a world wide web of shit to distract. But at least we had computers (even if I was doing even crazier shit like learning dBase). No cell phones in [...]
Dammit. Jay Nash will not be stalking me again in Cleveland on the next leg of his tour with Catelyn Crosby.
Driving to Columbus on a Monday in December. In the middle of what could quickly become Winter. Could be potentially hazardous to the relationship he does not know he has with me… yet.
But [...]
I had a bit of time to write this afternoon, while I await a visitor (or is a coworker so much at ask?) to appear in the office to vacuum the giant hairy balls centipede underneath my desk. That I killed with Windex.
His fault. He had a whole office to invade. He is the creature [...]
You know, we here at Life, Liberty & Pursuit of Your Boyfriend always believed that a taken man is decidedly sexier than a single man. Mostly because he is not a douche.
Frisky (and Social psychologists at Oklahoma State University) agree.
Mostly.
Daily, I’m reminded by MSN homepage or Yahoo Lifestyles the many “Duh-I-already-knew-that” ways in which to burn through the garbage calories from those two extra (bags of) jellybeans and the Organic 73% dark cocoa bar from Trader Joe’s.
My solution doesn’t involve jump ropes, treadmills or excessive amounts of sweating… wait, never mind, it does:
HAVE MORE [...]
Before you know it, another weekend of ex-boyfriends, Comfy Clothes and ice skating might be upon us. Let’s just get on with it, shall we two-horned horny beasts?
Twestival was last Thursday at Harry Buffalo’s downtown, where a bunch of Twitter Friends made pals over free pizza and (not free) beer. Awesomely, I had two guy [...]
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; [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I surprised myself today with a random memory from when I first arrived in Germany last March. I had just picked up my rental Audi, and stopped off at a secluded rest stop just outside Frankfurt. It was just a breathtaking view — the lot overlooked a cliff, and I marveled at the bright green [...]
My typical running motivation kicked into high gear this week. Awesome. It’s cold and snowing in Cleveland, in case you haven’t noticed. Same time as two years ago, where I felt my legs itching for a twelve-mile trip to nowhere. Where else to run, since the motivation wanes as quickly as the mercury: the fucking [...]
This was too important to leave down in the comments.
Commented by anonymous “Lonely” here on LL&PoyB:
The whole debate over pros and cons of long-distance relationships assumes that you have the ability to choose one over the other. That one day you wake up and decide, “I want to date someone” and then only need to [...]
…phone calls every night just before bedtime — even if we’ve already talked that day.
…middle-of-the-work-day phone call to let me know he’s coming in a day earlier than expected AND staying in town for a full weekend.
…talking flight plans for New Year’s? Just might be somewhere partially desert and mostly sunny. Together? Woah. And sounds [...]
Like yin and yang or chocolate-chip morsels and spoonfuls of peanut butter — for every good, there is a negative. What’s so negative about the latter? Caloric intake, people. And I’m trying to curb my emotional eating.
We’re meeting again to continue our talk about long-distance relationships. Today: cons.
As most would predict, you cannot gauge one [...]
I am the proud bearer of Long-distance Relationships. Why this seems to plague me since being classified as “single” a few years back, is beyond my understanding. But now I am inherently the woman that seems to not meet a guy that actually lives in Cleveland: SSD lives in Cincinnati — where I made the [...]
Peoples, I gots that tingle with the impermeable smile. The corny smile that I repeat in text, that gets returned. That, “Me, too!” That sappiness that you want to bottle up and savor for eternity, for when the shit (and the butterscotch-morsel cookie) starts to crumble. I am smiling. I am singing while driving to-and-from [...]
Life, Liberty...
