Letters From The Bay, Week 4: The San Francisco Date Debate Part I

The date began like any other.  That is to say, people were nervous.  I wasn’t nervous, because to me, dates are just free dinners and hey!  You might even get to make out later!  But I’m just easy like that.
We’d met the night before, at a bar hosting a charity event called Booze for Boobs. [...]

If it looks like a date and it seems like a date…

…it is still entirely possible to have no idea what the heck is going on.
To wit:
“So, you do realize what this seems like, right?”
“Uh, well, correct me if I’m wrong, but we seem to be lounging around in my room, and you seem to be wearing a pair of my shorts.  I also recall that [...]

New Traditions

I think everyone should partake in the lovely tradition I seem to have started.  It’s called “Let Your Ex-Boyfriend Walk You Into Work Every Morning Because You Arrive To The Office Simultaneously And Happen To Park Next To Each Other.” 
Our timing is impeccable.
It’s a little like Christmas, this new tradition, only the presents are smaller [...]

The Mister: 201?

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury: The Mister has…made a reappearance of sorts.
More information to come.
After I’m done processing what this means.
And after I’ve located all the missing pieces of my heart, which was thoroughly crushed, and shattered into approximately one thousand forty seven point two pieces after the last time.
I think I see a [...]

Saturday Night, Oscar Style

The Scene: a group of friends are at a very noisy bar.  An ’80s cover band is playing “Video Killed The Radio Star” and lots of awkward frat boys are slapping each other and high fiving all around the bar.  The friends have just been bowling and our young female protagonist is fresh from a [...]

Confession Session, Part One: On Men and Searching For The Up

 
Dear Internet,
Here’s the thing – I have neglected you.  I do this, periodically, because I am either a) having a super amazing time in my life and am too busy living said life to blog about it, or b) the more frequent reason, having a less than super amazing time and am too sad to [...]

Some people’s children

Barack Obama is our president elect.
That’s the best news I’ve heard all day.  All week.  All THE LAST EIGHT YEARS, ACTUALLY.
In other news, some people’s Republican boyfriends are not too pleased with this turn of events.
Some people’s Republican boyfriends are curmudgeons.
Some lovely, gracious, leftward leaning lady offered to cook dinner for said curmudgeons.  
Tofu, anyone?
Some [...]

Weekend Recap: In which I turned 24

Also in which:
- My sweet boyfriend, The Mister, took me to the Symphony for some Mozart, Williams, and Brahams.  Very thoughtful, very sweet, very pretty. And then, said boyfriend took me to a late night dinner (which is my very favorite kind) at the Oxford Hotel.  Very retro, very ’30s, very us.  Thanks for the birthday [...]

I am here for you…with my awesome haiku skillz…Keep reading, yes please!

So, as it turns out, LP is really good at haiku writing, too.  Real good.  Like, rice-eating, kimono-wearing, I Can’t Believe She’s Not Asian! good. 
LP, I know I’m pimping you out on the interweb – or geisha-ing you out, if we’re to be in keeping with our politically incorrect and completely insensitive, mixed-up Asia theme here [...]

Twist and Shout…in pain

Me – “You know, we should really invest in some more board games, since playing board games is really the only thing that holds our attention enough that we forget that we’re not… you know.  Let’s face it – I’m way too young to have your babies.”
The Mister – “That’s a good idea.  We need to broaden [...]
