People who talk about their dreams are actually trying to tell you things about themselves they’d never admit in normal conversation. - Chuck Klosterman
I love that quote.
Because it makes so much sense to me. Telling someone about your wildest dreams is similar to drinking sambuca out of an ice cream pail until things get fuzzy [...]

So, some of you may have heard that I’m in a wedding next week. Actually, if you follow me on twitter there’s no way you would NOT know about this wedding because when I first tried my dress on I said something like
“Oh sweet baby J. My boobs look like Scar Jo’s. I’m scared”.
And then [...]

The title? Yeah. Let’s not even discuss numbers or time lines. Let’s just say the President wasn’t black the last time I got laid.
Cue ice crunching.
The thing is, other than that minor major physical event- I’m completely happy right now with the relationships I have with people in my life. Without getting into a lot [...]

One of my best friends in the entire universe and I, have spent years perfecting our Top Five. That is, the Top Five men that you adore and want to do inappropriate but highly pleasing things with. Anytime we have time to kill, waiting for a movie to start or stuck in traffic- one of [...]

Confession?
Sometimes this is the only thing that gets me out of bed.
It’s my favourite television moment.
Ever.
What’s yours?

I hesitate to write about this.
I tend to stick to funny stories, or stories that are my own- where I’m center stage (for better or worse) and my actions are the ones that can be judged. But I find myself thinking more and more of what I’m trying not to write instead of what I [...]

You know what makes this even worse?
I actually had this whole other post planned. It was going to be funny and thoughtful and there was a chance it might have ripped your heart out- but in the good way that everyone likes their heart to be ripped out.
Instead.
Instead I received an email tonight from someone [...]

We live in an instant world. Instant coffee, instant messaging, instant car starters. We wait for nothing. We can fast forward our commercials, email our letters and drive-thru for our meals.
Everything happens so quick that when I actually am forced to wait for something; eggs to cook, Saturdays paper, a doctor to see me, life [...]

Like Pavlov’s dogs, I’m learning that certain triggers will send me into an unplanned response. More specifically, certain phrases will send me into a blood curdling, hair tingling, cold and uncomfortable sweat that will prompt me to lie in the fetal position under my bed and drink whiskey until I think I AM Johnny Cash.
Okay, [...]

Today I realized that my receipt from the drugstore was a pretty much a direct reflection of my current life situation. Here is what I bought:
- Four magazines (Time, Us Weekly, O- with Michelle Obama on the cover! and Vanity Fair)
- lipgloss
- 5 Lean Cuisine microwave dinners (all the same kind, a frightening chicken/rice combo)
- [...]

Two weeks ago, I wrote this.
And then the emails started pouring. I got emails from people telling me that emailing him back would be wrong. I got emails telling me that I would regret never emailing back. I got emails calling me a home wrecker (which besides not being true, isn’t very original. Try harder [...]

In order for you to understand, you need to quickly read this.
It’s okay, I will wait.
That guy? Let’s call him Jack. And let’s also keep in mind two things, 1) that I’m horrified that I have become a girl who is using blogging to solely discuss a heartbreaking boy situation and 2) that such a [...]

So this week has been ridiculous. Not, “feather boa wearing, ‘oh look I found $100!’, rainbows everyday” sort of ridiculous, it’s been more like “sweet baby J, someone just kill me now so the misery ends“. See the difference?
I have to admit, I wasn’t feeling that inspired to write anything other than ” WHY IS [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
