Thanks to all who came out to the second installment of The Hook-up Conversations Tuesday night. You packed the house for another great session of awkward, hysterical, shocking, and devastating “conversations” all around that oh-so-familiar topic of hooking up. I’m thrilled to announce that we’ve been invited back to do it all again – so stay-tuned for new performance dates (yes, plural) to come. Until …

Two things first: One: Looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible at The Hook-up Conversations tomorrow night! 7-9. Nuyorican Poets Cafe. Two: The 20-Nothings National Video Project is underway. Set aside 15 minutes. Make a video. Change the world. And finally: CQ emailed a topic the other day that prompted one of those, “wait haven’t I already written about this?” moments. Turns …

Ask most girls why they’ve recently joined an online dating site, and you’ll hear one of the following: Ugh, my friends maaade me… I don’t know, I just felt like everyone talks about it so much that I had to try it for myself I’m looking to go on a lot of dates – you know – for practice and stuff I figure I can’t …

Let’s try this out from time-to-time… The comment: “Hey Jessi…I had a life-advice question for you. My crush (and good friend and 3 years my jr) is basically Mr. Likeable on steroids–smart, passionate (about life in general), hard working, reliable, goal-oriented (but not too much), values relationships, loves his mom, etc etc. He’s always surrounded by these girls all the time — his friends? or …

A fellow BC grad and friend sent the following story/idea, appropriately, in a Facebook message last week: “So, my boyfriend of one year had yet to put “In a Relationship” on his Facebook profile. I told him that out of respect to me, he needs to let others know he is dating someone (like ex-gfs and such)….which led into this whole half joking conversation about …

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 …

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 …

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. …

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 …

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…).
