The Dating Pool Shrinketh

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

Today we have a wonderful guestpost from BeatnikChik over at In The Moment. Please leave her comments and make her feel welcome!  -Jess

I don’t need a man to make it happen
I get off being free
I don’t need a man to make me feel good
I get off doing my thing
I don’t need a ring around my finger

It’s Not Me, It’s You.

Friday, January 30th, 2009

So we all know that it can be hard to meet that Mr. or Mrs. Right. And it’s also no secret that all of us here love the good old internet. So really, it was only a matter of time before the two ideas merged and people began searching for their special someone on the [...]

I’m sorry, I must have butt-called you!

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

Hello again readers! I’ve gotten a lot of guest submissions, so I’m once again using my day to publish a post that was sent to me. Imerika is the author and she can be found here. Enjoy!- brandy
This goes under “Why didn’t I think of that?!” fame
My friend wanted to call her ex whom she [...]

Guilty pleasures

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

So I’m reading these books.
Maybe you’ve heard of them. They tend to overuse words such as “smoldering” and “breathless”. There may be some undead creatures. And lots and lots of pining.
(The Twilight saga, for those of you residing under rocks.)
And I can’t put the damn things down.
The skeptic in me still has a running sarcastic [...]

Proceed with caution

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

All of the warning signs are there.
The girl I am dating just got out of a nine year relationship last September. I knew this before I even met her. See, my aunt decided to play cupid this past holiday season and fix me up with someone she knew from her office. I listened to her [...]

Inspiration

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

There are some really awesome writers out there in the blogosphere. Alternatively, there are also some really lousy writers who saw one too many episodes of Carrie Bradshaw waxing eloquent about sex and her single girlfriends and thought “HEY I CAN DO THAT!” But we won’t get into that.
When I went to the annual BlogHer [...]

9 to 5

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

Hello everyone! Here is another memorable (and anonymous) guest post that got sent to me. If you have a post that you would like to share, you can email me at brandyismagic@gmail.com.
I haven’t been happy with work for a little over a year now. The type of work I do is under appreciated, pushed aside [...]

Scared of a number

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

There are a lot of different numbers that can freak someone out… the number signifying how much money you owe, the number of years you still have left of school, the number of people you’ve hooked up with… but the number I am most afraid of is the number of years I’ve been alive.
I know, [...]

What you didn’t want your parents to know

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

It must be hard for our parents to admit we are adults, to some extent. I know I get freaked out by the fact that the kids I used to babysit have jobs and go to the bar, so I can only imagine what it is like to see those milestones being surpassed by the [...]

Because clean cut doesn’t cut it anymore

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

What is it with women liking guys with long hair?
Everywhere on the interwebs, girls are going crazy over hair? How come clean cut can’t be fashionable any more? I know the girls never miss Brookem’s Weekly HOH posts.
Forget being in shape. Forget about how you dress. All that matters is the hair. That’s it.
I get [...]

I’m Not Gonna Write You a Love Song…

Friday, January 16th, 2009

When I was in fourth grade my friends and I, intrigued by the lyrics of Sir Mix A Lot’s rendition of ”Baby Got Back,” asked our teacher for permission to choreograph a dance to the song for the class talent show.
Her first question: “Well what’s the worst word in the song?” Our answer “big butt!” She [...]

The brandys

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

It’s awards season. The People’s Choice, the Golden Globes, the 20sb awards (vote UNW? for best group blog!) and it got me thinking.
About all of you people who deserve awards, who deserve recognition, who deserve 30 seconds to thank every single person in you’ve ever met in your entire life before getting cut off by [...]

To tell or not to tell…

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

Technology is our lives.
Even our dating lives. Don’t act like you have never googled the person you are going out with. If you say you haven’t it would be a fucking lie. I know better. I’m a guy and I do it.
Maybe we want to dig up some dirt on the person, maybe we just want [...]

Time for the So-Called Quarter Life Crisis

Friday, January 9th, 2009

Most people grow more reflective in the beginning of the year. January 1 is the time for resolutions, for looking back and thinking ahead. I seldom make resolutions on New Year’s Eve, but instead reserve most of the deep thoughts and contemplation for January 10, which this year, happens to be my twenty-fifth birthday. Despite [...]

I swear, the acronym wasn’t planned

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

On Monday, Mr.5280 wrote about the trifecta of qualities he loves in the ladies. Which? Got me thinking about the qualities I enjoy in men. And by ‘enjoy’, I mean, qualities that make me swoon. Swoon like I should be wearing a corset, sort of swooning. My list is definitely longer than three, but because [...]
