The Dateable Dork

Oh dear lord, what have I done to deserve such a torturous fate?  Wait… don’t answer that.  : )
Remember that 50-pound strapless bridesmaid dress (official photo here) that my dear friend has flung upon my unwilling body in a fit of bridezilla dementia?  Remember how I NEVER wear strapless dresses (especially really, really heavy ones) [...]

Peeps, I’m on vacation this week.  And you know what?  I’m LOVING it.  Very rare is the occasion in which hard-working DD is actually off from work with nothing to do.  I’m not sick and relegated to my couch, I’m not busy running errands, I’m not traveling or visiting family or doing anything whatsoever.  I’ve [...]

Ladies, back me up here: There are some days of the month where you are more susceptible to crying than others.  Ahem.  There are some days where the littlest thing will set me off into a marathon sobbing fit in which an entire box of tissues is voraciously devoured.  It happens.  I accept that.  I’m [...]

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!  The holidays were nice, but it feels so good to be back in the “real world” (i.e., back in my apartment, with a buffer zone between me and my family, with my high speed internet, my own bathroom, and not an airbed in sight).  There’s really no place [...]

Since apparently Santa wasn’t listening to me last year, I’m re-printing my (slightly edited) letter from 2007 in the hopes that I might FINALLY get some of the things on my list.  Are you paying attention, Santa???  Hello???  What can I do to pull your attention away from Mrs. Claus?  : )

Dear Santa,
Not sure if [...]

Just a quick post tonight.  It’s been a LONG ass day, and I am just about ready to collapse into my big comfy bed.  Oh, if only there were someone there waiting for me, someone to slam me down on the bed, nibble at my earlobes, rip my clothes off with their teeth, slowly make [...]

This is the second post in my “Dating 101″ series (such as it is), intended to share ridiculous real-life dating stories and to illustrate prime examples of what to do, or what NOT to do, on a date.  The first post, “Dating 101: how to pay for dinner” (sorry, old blog, no link), highlighted The [...]

Mr NYC recently approached me about doing an interview about my dorky adventures in dating in New York.  I really liked his questions, and he was kind enough to post my responses on his site.  What a sweetheart!  Go check it out: Mr NYC: Interview: The Dateable Dork.  Please be sure to say hi to [...]

Here in New York, a big winter storm is winding down.  The storm was of sufficient hype and snow-producing-capacity to warrant taking the afternoon off from work, so I had a very cute little afternoon curled up on my couch under a nice warm blanket.  Awww.  I heart snow days.  So, in the spirit of [...]

Ok people, I have to get something off my chest tonight.  I have a confession to make.  It’s horrible, and maybe it makes me a mean person, or a spiteful person, or a jaded, bitchy, jealous person.  Yes, perhaps I am all of these things, but I can’t change how I feel about this issue.  [...]
