A devoted lurker reader (hehe) submitted his questions:
1. Do you ever go back and look at your old posts and think to yourself…I can’t believe I wrote that about so-and-so (exes)?
Absolutely! I cannot tell you how many times I have gone back to read my posts from the beginning of a relationship, and once it’s over, just smack myself in the head, and think, “Mel? Stupid.” I wish I wasn’t so starry-eyed upon meeting someone. My readers HATE when I’m all sappy. And I really hate myself afterward too.
As far as ripping these guys a new one after it has ended? I never regret that. This is a good platform for me to say what I really think. And am I too nice to say it to his face? Nope. (Ask 10SB). But unfortunately, I usually get dumped by a phone call.
On the opposite of your question though, I wish I would have written more while I was engaged, and subsequently the ending of my engagement. I had some major emotions during that time of my life that I didn’t release to anybody. But that part of both my life (and my blog) are now a blur.
2. Have you ever considered doing something for another day of the week (other than penis tuesdays)? And how do you not run out of inspiration for those?
There is never a lack of topics for Penis Tuesdays. Seriously. I tried to do Finger-bang Fridays, and compile links to good stuff around the internet, but it just never sat right with me. Just seemed like regurgitation, and I like to create all original material. I’ve also toyed with the idea of vlog once a week.
3. Do you think of yourself as jaded when it comes to guys?
I really don’t want to be, but a small part of me is — no matter how much the hopeless romantic in me wants to break out. But if you’re a consistent reader of the site, you know my stories and dating history — so, wouldn’t you be?
4. And how long does it take you to get over people? (ed. note - this was a two-part of #3, but in keeping with the spirit of five questions, I separated it)
Not long, actually. A week? I hate to seem heartless, but I have my mourning period - I cry, no matter how it ended or who ended it — I pig out on chocolate, then I move on to enjoy my single life again. Anger definitely helps. But after that initial week of retraining my brain that the other person is not around, I find it very easy to move on.
I mean, I have one guy (SSD) that I seemingly will never get over, but he is some sort of unexpected exception. It’s like he’s the “pedestal guy” and in order to forget him, I need to find someone better than him. I mean, before we dated, there was a PG before him. And it’s been three years since we first met. How’s that for dating pressure?
5. Pretend you could be one B-list celebrity for a day; who would you be, and why?
B-list?? Is that like TV stars and indie movie celebrities? Gawd, I hate celebrities. But since you asked — I’d go with Parker Posey. That girl is the shit — talented, quirky, witty. And hopefully I haven’t offended by calling her “B-list.”
