February 26, 2010

Just when it was starting to almost feel like Spring was around the corner, Winter decided to show up in Toronto. IN MARCH. Why did I ever move from the West Coast?!

Has my love for the Muppets caused me to me to make Bad Dating Choices?

February 19, 2010

Another thing that you probably don’t know about me is that I am a big Muppets fan. Like, freakishly big. Since I was a kid I’ve probably seen “Muppets Take Manhattan” at least 55 times (did I mention I know all the songs by heart?). I still have my felt Kermit the Frog doll (a relic from my childhood) that up until [...]

Stalking, Made Easy.

February 17, 2010

I realized yesterday that I don’t really write much about what I do on a day to day basis. I think I forget that some people who read this actually don’t know me in real life. For example, until my last post I don’t think I ever mentioned where I work. So, here is Part 1 of “What I do when I’m [...]

My Week of Amazing Luck

February 12, 2010

Last week I felt full of angst and self doubt. I was sending out resumes, writing emails, trying to “put myself out there” and getting nothing but silence in return. Everything felt stagnant, like life had come to a standstill. I know I am being a bit over-dramatic but I desperately wanted something, ANYTHING to happen. As it turns out, I just [...]

Men’s Underwear 101

February 9, 2010

…BECAUSE THE MALE READERS ASKED FOR IT AND BECAUSE ITS TIME TO POST SOME PHOTOS OF SCANTILY CLAD MEN FOR A CHANGE. This is a little story from early 2003, when I decided it would be a “good idea” to start sleeping with my upstairs neighbor (Just one of the many “good ideas” I had in my early twenties). It was the [...]

Sunday Morning Surprises

February 7, 2010

This morning I woke up to an email from an EX. Like, THE EX. The one I wrote about here and here. When I saw his message my stomach did that weird sick feeling flip flop thing. We haven’t spoken since we said goodbye. He’s the kind of ex boyfriend you never hear from and hope to never hear from. I always [...]

Mmmm BED. My favorite place! That’s where I am right now. I just came back from dinner and now I’m snuggled in bed, wearing my goofy polka dot flannel pajamas and it feels awesome.

What I’ve learned from Jersey Shore

February 1, 2010

Personal Confession time: I’m hopelessly addicted to MTV Reality Shows. It started with The Hills (I blame my sister for that). Then I got hooked on The City. When I found myself one night home alone, watching 16 and Pregnant I knew I had a problem. I feel like watching MTV shows is a bit like shaving your legs–once you start, you [...]
