Worse than high school
So I’ve been seeing Mikey for a few weeks now. It’s kind of weird dating someone who knows so many of my friends and coworkers.
Last night, I went out with the company softball team (pre-season, obvs). One of the guy’s girlfriends was like, “I heard Mikey wore a suit to your date this week. Good sign!”
Good lord.
Mikey took me out to dinner this week, and...

The iPad—I’m sure this guy argued for a less menstrual-blood-receptacle-sounding name. But if you want to watch a beautiful British man talk design to you, watch the video on Apple’s homepage.

I think I’m a D. Or maybe A, but I’m the dude. Or E, but again, I’m the guy. There’s a weird pattern developing here.
THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD GOOGLE YOUR DATES

I had a date the other day which went pretty well, but not fantastic. The guy makes documentaries, so I googled him to try to find some of his work. It turns out he SUED MATCH.COM last year because of unanswered e-mails. Oh dear God. This is my life. Welcome to it.
Hahaha. Oh man. I’m sorry but I love this so much. Also, once I got rejected by a guy who was...
N: It all came crashing down
So, since M recapped her Saturday night, I’ll give you the lowdown on my past week that ended up with a sad/crazy(in the boy way) display by yours truly. To really understand, I must take you back to the time of Tuesday…
Tuesday “Meet My Ideal Mr. Wonderful Type”- clients at work are in town so everyone goes out for drinks after our marathon long meetings. Gay co-worker...
M: Long weekend
This weekend was super fun.
On Saturday, we celebrated all the awesomeness that is A. Without going into too much revealing detail, A is BLOWING UP, PEOPLE! Not blowing up people—the comma counts. I mean it was a very exciting week to be her friend.
I looked like a fashion plate, thanks to the Single Ladies, who got me a smokin’ outfit at H&M for my bday.
Mikey came to the...
C sez: back in the saddle again
Even this tool is married. See the ring? So you see the odds are against me. But no matter, I remain optimistic. Let’s do this 2010!
Actual thought-out plan of action to follow, possibly…er, meh.
Second quarter of my life shaping up pretty nice...
Last year on my birthday, this happened:
And I also got my current awesome job on my birthday last year. So it was pretty epic. Hard to beat.
And while it’s still early, I think it’s going to be a great day. For starters, this happened:
Mikey: lets say I go out and have a great time with this cute girl and a week later it’s her birthday. should I just wish her a happy...
M: Blamo! Another successful interaction with a...
Except it’s not as funny as when Liz Lemon said it, because it actually was a very good date.
We had two beers, watched the comedy show, had a few more beers, then had a little smooch sesh while we waited for the F train.
Sorry guys—it’s either a good time or a good story. In this case, it was just a good time.
2010! Doin' allll right! -M
I know everyone has been down on 2009. For the world in general, it was a pretty shit year. But for me personally, it was actually kind of rad. And you, gentle reader, have been here for most of it. Single Ladies, we’re almost a year old. Weird, right?
As much as I liked hitting the three month relationship mark for the first time, going on some european adventures, and getting banged on...

It’s when you ghost ride the whip! Or do the thizzle dance! No but seriously it is bay area hip-hop. You should listen to Ronald Dregan by Mac Dre for a good introduction. Especially the song, “Feelin’ Myself.” Man oh man is it so good. Keak da...
Crazy Cakes
That’s me. Within 5 minutes of posting last night, he texted me back - he was busy at work - just got home - definitely wants to meet for drinks today.
I played the role of boy. I decided the date, time and place. I never do that. 8P in the LES tonight spells date #2.
Updates on any shenanigans that happen.
N: Noooo....
So. Went on date with the divorce the Sunday before Xmas break. It was all over good. Not wow, not bad. Good convo for about 4 hours and I didn’t feel the need to get drunk. I left feeling not pyscho. I positive. Then, somewhere in the last 36 hours a wave of crazy has swept over me and I don’t know why? Post holiday loneliness? Need for something new in 2010? Wanting to have someone...
