What loneliness is more lonely than distrust?

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

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 [...]

Once upon a time, in a long-distance relationship — far, far away…

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

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 [...]

Du brauchst doch keine Angst zu haben.

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

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 [...]

It’s just a hand!

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

The Frisky posted tits and tidbits in How To Tell If A Guy is Serious About You online recently. In expected fashion, guys buying flowers and stalking/jealous tendencies are classified as “not interested.” But using “we” in conversation, revealing intimate feelings and being nice to your friends (not including wanting to get with your friends) [...]

Good night, bad knight

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

The holidays are approaching. Those questions will be asked.
The idea of heading to yet another table full of plus one dinner guests physically makes me sick to my insides. In the essential sense of dating and relationships, I have not cleared that level of the game (no matter how it has been hinted).
Single women know [...]

And the giggles continue…

Hot Guy & I had an awesome date night. I originally planned a night of carefully laundering unmentionables and folding sweaters, but HG drove up (through cold and snow, people) to hang out. We shared a beer flight on $5 Burgers Tuesday at Rocky River Brewing Company. I acted all beer snobby; he retold the [...]

You had yourself a crazy lover

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

Does it matter if he said I was crazy before or after the date?
Does it matter that I deflected it by saying, “Good crazy, right?”

She’s hitting on you!

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

Two glasses of Niagara white wine before I get picked up for my date.
The Posh drink – at Luxe
Bottle of Malbec (shared) – at Luxe
Two vodka/cranberries (very little cranberry, thankyouverymuch) at Jazz 28
Couple of waters
Two Highballs at Velvet Tango Room
Yup. That sounds like the perfect combination of alcohol to render myself helpless against my hot [...]

Once upon a time on a cold & rainy date night…

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

Today is my date with 2Hot. (The more I type that acronym, the more it makes me cringe — I intend to have a new nickname after the date tonight). Upon the realization that I am severely overdue in completing my laundry, I now need to go out and buy a new top. Thankfully, my [...]

Today, I learned…

Friday, November 14th, 2008

(OK, not today, but yesterday…)
I learned that Shady McS may not be that shady, and he may or may not be too hot for me. Regardless, I need to figure out a new nickname. He flew into town last night, and asked what my plans were. Then he met up with me and the bloggers [...]

And I missed…

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

the most important part of my catch-up post:
The freaking 2Hot-McShady guy wants to see me again this weekend. Holy crap.
And we’re having, like, a real dinner date… in a place where you can’t get away with those sort of shenanigans.
Hah. Well. To say I’m excited is an understatement.

The future’s so bright I gotta wear shades.

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

Against my better judgment, I invited Shady McShadester to meet up with us on Saturday night. The hilarious part of the story: I have no clue what he looked like. On Halloween, he was wearing a blonde wig as part of his costume, and I was beyond drunk, so I had no idea as to [...]

Calling all singles!

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

From Cleveland Magazine online:
Would you, or someone you know, like to be featured in our February issue? Submit a photo of yourself and tell us why we should name you one of our hot singles. We’re looking for eligible bachelors and bachelorettes of all ages.
Nominate here. Deadline is November 15.

And for my bisexual fans…

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

HELLO!? Did anyone see the “Lucky Thirteen” episode of House last night? If not, you’ll have to wait eight days before it’s available online.

Holy freaking crap, girl-on-girl action on prime time. I heart me some Olivia Wilde.
Don’t you wish you were a fan? Or bisexual for that matter.
And lastly, where in the world do you [...]

So, does this make me a Democrat?

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

Enough with the politics already. There is more to digest from the internet today:
I Told My Husband to Get a Happy Ending
Now, I don’t know if I’m The Coolest Chick in the World (maybe runner-up) or I have fucked-up beliefs on marital bliss (perhaps being a product of divorced, perpetual unhappiness), but I find this [...]

If you resolve to give up smoking, drinking and loving, you don’t actually live longer; it just seems longer.

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

While I probably talked too much — I think I mentioned “The Hills” (kill me) — and was entirely too nervous (what is that all about?) and couldn’t think of the word “scavenger” (in regard to hunt) during my date…
at least I didn’t twirl my hair.

I don’t think two days of crunches will do anything for my dating neurosis.

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

I did it.
I waited too long to prepare for a first date.
Somehow, I thought placing my ass in front of the television for a week surrounded by lots of Mexican with extra sour cream would help me over my rough week of “feelings.”
Then I silly-slapped myself two days ago because although I love to hibernate [...]

The day in which I am not getting humped

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

Maybe that’s my problem. I’m not getting laid. And to be honest, I really have no desire to lay or be laid right now. The thought of getting into something emotionally sweaty again just churns my insides.
My surroundings have made me feel very meh as of late. Although I feel as though I’m on the [...]

Teach your children well… the singles hell.

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

I chatted with my three-year old niece on the phone yesterday. She is remarkable with words and perhaps wise beyond her years some times:
Cutest Niece Ever: My boyfriend Miles is moving to New York. (note: little Miles is her next-door neighbor and they are inseparable)
Mel: I heard. Are you sad?
CNE: Yeah. Do you have [...]

And for your Friday…

Friday, August 29th, 2008

I just caught wind of this blog Daily Bedpost. I tend to shy away from all-things-celebrity on the web, but this has a good blend of hilarious celebrity dating gossip, sex/dating/doctor advice and blurbs from those clueless womens’ rags. I was on a random “Things To Do Before You Die” web page (I like to [...]
