The Dateable Dork

People, get this: Today I got my official university ID number and email address.  HOLY SHIT this is so freaking exciting, I can’t believe it!  I was literally squealing and jumping up and down in my office when the email oh-so-casually rolled into my inbox this afternoon.  And yes, call me a snob or a [...]

Random shit that has gone down in the past few days: – It’s fucking HOT AS HELL in here in the northeast.  DAMN.  To top things off, I’m convinced that it’s actually hotter in my apartment than it is outside.  Actually, to be more specific, my apartment has turned into a sauna.  I think I’ve [...]

I know I still owe you the details from my night with the Texas guy (and they’re coming, don’t worry), but I had to share this with you first… I just kicked the NMP out of my apartment, after he drove 2 hours to get here.  We were supposed to hang out, catch up, go [...]

So tonight I attempted to recover from my hideously jerky behavior on Saturday night, and let me tell ya, this stuff is easier said than done.  I put in a good faith effort, and we’ll see if it floats.  I apologized, I explained myself, and I’ve extended the proverbial olive branch.  I’ve been feeling absolutely awful [...]

During some down time at work today I found myself casually perusing the course catalog at my new university, which – let me tell ya – is FULL of interesting stuff.  As in, WOW.  I was a little overwhelmed and a lot excited.  I went to a small university for undergrad, so the course selection [...]

First of all, things are starting to calm down around here – phew!  Enough is enough, you know? Anyway… lately I’ve been putting a lot of mental energy into strategically avoiding New Year’s Lips – physically, electronically, and mentally.  I don’t hang out in his neighborhood anymore because I don’t want to accidentally run into [...]

I’ve been running around like a crazy woman lately.  I had a rough week at work, and now this weekend is filled with back-to-back events.  I’m having trouble coming up for air, and I’m getting pretty run-down and exhausted.  I need the weekends to recharge, you know?  No such luck this time around… but it’s all [...]

OMG what a disaster!!!  I spent five - yes FIVE – hours driving around lost in New Jersey today.  Fucking New Jersey and their fucking unmarked roads!  It took me three hours to get to my destination (three times as long as it should have, making me VERY late for work) and two hours to get home.  [...]

Dudes, I had the shittiest day today, seriously.  Work was extremely aggravating – not stressful, just annoying and bullshitty and bureaucratic.  I got suckered into doing some ultra-crappy work tomorrow that I’m really not looking forward to.  I had planned to leave the office on-time today but had to stay late because an extremely loud [...]

Tonight I watched a very well-done movie – Mother and Child – about adoption, having children, not having children… and wound up sobbing and curled up in the fetal position on the streets of New York for a half hour or so, absolutely crying my eyes out and trying not to make eye contact with the [...]
