“Heeey, how aaaare you?! (insert cheek kiss) I’m…confused…”

admin - February 22, 2010

Friday was the 105 Days party for the Boston College graduating class of 2005 – my class. For those unfamiliar with said event (so, anyone who didn’t attend the Boston College) a 105 Days party is the celebration preceding one’s five year college reunion cleverly placed one hundred and five nights prior. See we’re all about pageantry – pageantry and opportunities to donate to the …

On whether or not you can always attract the same kind of person.

admin - February 18, 2010

Stephane, ZZ and I were talking about consistency in the laws of attraction over Shock Tops at Brother Jimmy’s last Friday night. If you know Stephane, ZZ, or I you know that the strangest thing about that sentence is the Brother Jimmy’s part. ZZ – a serial monogamist – was saying he only ever attracts girls interested in serious relationships – that for reasons he …

A “sermon” on mirrors, two-way dialogues, and losing control

admin - February 16, 2010

Bear with me through this one. I’m about to go a tad Mom slash aunt/professor/mentor figure. In general I try to keep the blog void of preachy, kumbaya sap, but I have the distinct feeling I’ve learned an important lesson, so I’m very teaching-moment today. I’ll try to keep it as void of guidance counselor cliches as possible. As over-advertised, The Hook-up Conversations – my …

You want to know what I think about Valentine’s Day?

admin - February 12, 2010

It’s for some reason assumed that I have a position on Valentine’s Day – kind of like how it’s assumed that I meet, woo, and date a ton of guys and have correct answers on how you can too. I don’t, to both. I have thoughts about Valentine’s Day – that it’s a really swell concept – that it’s nice to see red in the …

It’s Olympics time again…and you remember what that means…

admin - February 11, 2010

Two (gulp) years ago I shared a theory about what the Olympics can do for our “love” lives. I can’t report exact numbers, but I’m going to go ahead and say the 2008 Summer Olympics results in no fewer than a shit ton of unexpected make-outs, hook-ups, and sleep-overs. How?! Why?! Where?! For me too?! you ask… Read on and get your of-course-I’ve-been-following-women’s-downhill-all-season face ready. …

Hi, can I have five thousand dollars?

admin - February 10, 2010

One of the most annoying things about my current life is my inability to secure five to seven thousand dollars. Five to seven extra dollars – meaning “take out an advance on my credit card” or “cash in on my 401K” aren’t options – and not just because that would put me over my limit, and I don’t have anywhere near that much money in …

The difference between “the game” and “the dance”

admin - February 8, 2010

It was the kind of birthday dinner party where I had to keep sneak-typing blackberry notes under the table to capture all the potential material: “I don’t need someone to give back everything I’m giving – the problem was she was uncomfortable with my being a giver – she’d always tell me to stop, but that’s who I am – how I’m always going to …

What happens if we become the men we want to marry?

admin - February 5, 2010

Last Fall Michelle Williams – was featured in a revealing Vogue article about life without Heath – raising her daughter Matilda as a single mother, her brief relationship with Spike Jonze, if she’s pissed that Katie Holmes is still more famous than her even though she staged that shockingly successful post-Dawson’s Creek acting career (or at least that’s what I would have asked…). In it …

What most single people wish couples would never do again

admin - February 3, 2010

I’ve almost written this post a dozen times but never gone through with it because it’s bound to piss people off – people I know. But to go 2.5 years of dating and relationship topics and not cover what pisses single people off about couples is avoiding the elephant in the blog. Whether it’s those first signs of coupledom – the excessive “we”-ing or 180 …
