The Dateable Dork

Dear blog, There was once a time when I could tell you everything, when you were my BFF, when I would tell you things that I didn’t tell anyone else, and when I could write freely and openly and really spill my guts to you.  Remember those days?  Ah yes, I remember them fondly.  But [...]

I came down with a stomach bug on Monday night and have been home sick for the past two days.  Ugh.  Why have I been getting so sick this winter?  It’s getting to the point where I’m going to have to take time off without pay for my upcoming grad school visits because I’m really [...]

Everything all of a sudden seems so REAL now that I’m holding the 100% official — signed by the dean of the graduate school – acceptance letter and fellowship offer in my hands.  On university letterhead.  In a nice shiny folder.  With dollar signs and a little box to check “accept” and give them my social [...]

This weekend I went ice skating for the first time in, oh, about 15 years.  Dudes, it was awesome!  I was really into in-line skating as a teenager, and all my old moves came rushing back, only this time, on the ice.  I think in-line skating and ice skating are pretty similar, for a completely amaetur recreationist [...]

OMG, did you see that AWESOME snowboarding tonight????  And the downhill skiing???  Holy shit!  I am totally PUMPED for the return of men’s figure skating tomorrow night, not to mention the women’s figure skating still to come.  So exciting!! Ok, just had to get that out.  : )

Remember a few weeks ago when I got a completely random and heart-stopping email from the five-year BF?  Well, I’ve been letting it fester in my inbox for a few weeks while I pondered the situation.  First I had to get over the shock of receiving such an email in the first place, then I [...]

As I was running some errands the other day and reflecting on my hot tub night with NYL (drooling, with ga-ga eyes, as usual), I inadvertently stumbled upon an interesting realization: I’m enjoying sex much more these days for the intimacy as opposed to the orgasms.  I mean, don’t get me wrong, I really do [...]

Happy V-Day, everyone!  : )  In honor of yet another Valentine’s Day as a single woman, I’m going grocery shopping, paying bills, watching the Olympics, and having dinner with a friend (another single woman).  How romantic, right?  Ha.  Am I bitter?  Maybe a little.  Have I been rolling my eyes at all the cheesy V-Day [...]

There is something to be said for being warm. As NYL and I were cooking a big pot of curry last night, chopping and stirring and “accidentally” bumping into each other in the kitchen, I was warm. As we cuddled up on the couch to eat dinner, watch the new episode of LOST, and watch [...]

Today was a craaaaaazy busy day at work, which kinda sucked because I have a bunch of plans to make and no time to make them.  Geez.  Doesn’t my boss know that I have more important things to do during the day than work??  Hahahaha.  Anyway, get a load of the exciting plans being made this [...]
