My life: the last 10 years, by way of home address

I had the recent (super fun and mind-bending) task of attempting to remember Every Single Address that I’ve lived at for the last 10 years, along with the people who resided WITH me in those locations, for a background check (yes, I’m getting the checks on my background for a new job opp). It was your enviable trip down Memory Lane or some such… otherwise known as: an embarrassing display...

{be mine} ALL YOUR CANDY CONVERSATION HEARTS BELONG TO US.

Eh, Valentine’s Day. RANT TIME. I don’t celebrate it — and not because I’m some anti-establishment, anti-greeting card company or anti-lovey-dovey holidays… um, person — but I guess I just don’t GET it. What’s to celebrate? Date Night. Blow jobs. Maybe a vase of flowers. All the stuff you should be experiencing as one-half (or one-third, I don’t...

{holiday spirit} …and a kick in the nuts!

I chuckled at this holiday gift guide: Gifts For Someone You’re Planning to Dump (aka: What to Buy Your Soon-to-be-Ex) – {Jezebel}. Passive-aggressive never worked for anyone. I never intentionally sought out gift ideas for people I didn’t want to be with (I suppose I should have taken my own hint when I didn’t get 10SB something for Valentine’s Day)… and most of my...

{musical interlude} hey, baby, that’s our song!

You know that saying about smell being tied to memory? Boy, does music seemingly pull out some wonky emotions for me. I got a flash of horrific nostalgic memory upon listening to Boyz II Men's Twenty (courtesy of Rdio) this afternoon. Seriously, I heard "I Shoulda Lied" and I wanted to go back in time and kick all my ex-boyfriends in the throat. Ew. {open to read more... with videos!}

{something borrowed} sharing the toilet with the boyfriend

OCD, hypochondriac, germo-phobe... pick one: I'm them all. I have adult issues with cleanliness and matters-of-the-stomach when it comes to food phobias. The majority of my obsessive-compulsive cleaning streaks ceased when we adopted cats. Because let's be serious, OMG HAIR EVERYWHERE! I'm almost comfortable even with cleaning gunk out of the eyes. *retch* {open to read more}

We had a conversation about… Hanson.

Oh, the dreamy places you’ll go!

I had a dream last night where someone asked me how many people I've been in love with. In my dream, I answered, "Five."

Ex-ploration or Ex-ploitation?

There was a time when I used to write about my funny or OMG-that-didn’t-really-happen stories related to ex-boyfriends. When AB & I got together, I stopped. It was a combination of being too happy to dwell in my past misery and a part of letting the past be the past. But I think I might start to share some of those soap operas again, as I feel those memories have a part in shaping how I feel...

Kind of a “would you rather” question.

Ooh-ooh! A great post from Heiss Chic today over at Technical Support. I’m curious what you think (and please join in the conversation over at her blog too!): on a day when you look exceptionally good, would you rather run into your ex-boyfriend or your boyfriend’s ex? As I commented on her blog that I could give two shits about my boyfriend’s exes (if you can even call them that…...

What’s new?

I caught up with my ex — The Fiance — yesterday. And no, it’s not some big secret that we conversed. AB knows we’re friends. “What’s new?” he asked, in request of status from our last conversation a couple of months ago. Everything is JUST as fantastic as the last time we spoke – downtown living arrangements, permanent awesome boyfriend placement, upcoming ...
