Mexican, Italian, or Chinese Food?

Dating in Cleveland. Feh! Of course, life and luck would have it that I would meet someone more than wonderful a few weeks before my move. We had a fun Sunday during the Browns game, a blast Tuesday night at D&B (watch out for those treelawns), and nothing better than A. Jacks while hanging out on a cold, rainy Thursday afternoon (next time I’m bringing the Honeycomb). I don’t like Chinese

Halloween Crazy

One word: crazy OK, two words: and drunk. If one ends up walking around in their underwear on Halloween (and not in a room with a bed in it) does that mean they’re having fun? Yeah, you might’ve seen me running around with flames on my butt. Oh, and apparantly I found it necessary to let everyone KNOW I was in my underwear (just in case they couldn’t tell…). Ah, another crazy-ass...

“Hey, You’re that girl from the blog!”

Hi, Lakewood chick! It was awesome meeting you. I’m sorry I didn’t get your name. I hope you find your phone! Thanks for checking out the site. Meanwhile (back at the ranch we call home), what do you get when you have 4 drunken chicks and 80′s music blaring and the need to dance like idiots at 4am when the bars close? Yes, you get the Lakewood Police Department in pursuit of a noise...

A night in Roma

Never…again…going…out…until…4am…on…a…school…night… again. Ice Cream Sandwich flavored ice cream at Rosati’s today. I must be getting lonely or incredibly deprived because every man on the TV, at the bar, in the ice cream store is hot. Perhaps I’m overloading my senses with male-dominated sports (Baseball, Football, Nascar AND Professional Bull Riding in one day—the WORK!)...

On a Need-2-Know Basis

Pamphlet picked up at doc’s office, titled 10 Things You Need to Know Before You Date an Older Guy (No, really. This is seriously printed in paper in my hand. No doubt, geared towards younger adolescents.) Subtitled: Consider the Risks 1. It’s normal to admire older guys Guys your own age may seem immature. And an older guy has car, money, his own place—it all sounds good. But dating an older...

Is it really all about timing?

I missed him by 5 minutes. Truth is, I don’t know what I would’ve done/said/yelled/thrown. I’ve been in these sort of situations before. I just wish I would be the one confronted already. Sadly enough, his reign in Cleveland is over, and I’ve been thinking about it constantly. No more chance meetings throughout the Cleveland bars, no more thoughts of...

Simply En Fuego!

I was on FIRE or drunk, last night… one-in-the-same, I suppose. You know those days when you sit around all day and tell yourself, “I am NOT going out tonight!” and then you do, and it ends up being one of those incredible nights out? This was one of those nights. The night started, where else: Liquid. FINALLY, there were some people in this bar. We also moshed around Blind Pig for a while. I...

Weekend Wrap-up

This train hasn’t stopped, baby! Choo-Choo! Friday night I picked up my girl Deanna from Chicago at the airport, and we headed down for Happy Hour drinks at Liquid. I was pleasantly surprised by the crowd. We took off a little early to visit her parents’ yacht club for their annual Regatta party. After enough family and potluck dishes with cat hair, we went BACK to Liquid and ended at Velvet...

This post was written in my sexiest phone operator voice.

The dust is starting to settle around the “break-up.” (If you can even call it that). I still have yet to receive some sort of phone call, message, email, some random “fuck you’s.” The first couple days were the hardest. Now the middle fingers are coming out (yeah, the “I could give a FUCK” ones). The last three nights, my AWESOME partner-in-crime Jen has kept me...

My kinda town, Chicago and my kinda man!

I’m back! Chicago was a blast. I ended up extending my stay an extra day, and it was well worth the change flight cost. Starting with the flight, I still cannot understand why a 55-minute flight is always delayed.  I got through flying on my own; I realize it doesn’t bother me too much. I just get bored. I don’t mind the turbulence—it’s just annoying when I’m trying to...

Note Taken

Yesterday was a classic “Ladies’ Day” at a friends house in Westlake. The girls started talk about bad dates, bad relationships, among other dating adventures. Things I learned (and men should know): 1. Men, use gum. Your breath stinks. Duly noted from about 5 girls on bad blind dates. 2. If a girl goes to the bathroom for more than 20 minutes, it’s a good sign that the date’s...

Look at Me, Ma! I’m on TV!

Since having the usual random computer issues (and working beyond the normal hours any one person should be able to handle), I haven’t posted my fun for LAST week! Last Thursday, I attended the Fireman’s Bachelor Auction. There were plenty of hot firemen (and one ex-boyfriend) available for the horny women in the crowd. I bid $250 on some guy; some other chick beat me out at $280. I...

Weekend Wrap-Up

Of COURSE my weekend started on Thursday with a short visit to D’Vine (not packed), then over to Mercury (decent), then of course, continuing on to Liquid. The night ended up being interesting… We met some new friends on the street (and no, they weren’t bums). Friday was Girls’ Night Out. We had to celebrate with some trouble at Mercury for pre-drinks, then out to Tramp for dancing. We...

Overheard in Conversation

Apparently in my non-conscious, still-unknown-sickness state (I’m sure there was probably some fish substance poisoning me in my dinner), I muttered the words: “And I wanted to have sex…” (while puking in the toilet). Charmin, how you doin, you bad toilet paper roll, you! This is another reason he finds me sexy.

Weekend Wrap-Up

This weekend, my beau “Zoolander” and I took a short get-away to Peek’n Peak for the end of ski season. Zoolander took me to his workplace holiday party recently, and I won the trip, ultimately from a double-down hand at Blackjack. The prizes were really ticket raffles, being that you won tickets instead of money, but this was my winner. Did I mention how I always win the raffle prizes?...

A WTF Moment during a date

Taking a lovely Sunday afternoon stroll through Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Shaker Square today, checking out some new reads, when I come across THIS (book by a stripper). Oh, I’m sorry NORA… Jesus! Even her REAL name sounds like a stage name. This girl was just destined to do naughty things. If SHE can get a book published, I have more confidence I shouldn’t have a problem. Zoolander and I...

Weekend Wrap-Up

I found some new gems this past weekend for hangout purposes. I also learned how to parallel-park my SUV (TWICE!), and realized that road lines don’t mean anything! Friday night was a trip out to Rocky River Brewing Company. Although I was not too happy with the ambiance of the place, I have to go back and get those mini cheeseburgers. Also, I was disappointed at the two different beers that I tried....
