Dating as a grown up is weird and I don’t know what I’m doing.
Congrats, you've just become my next story. I feel like I should start saying something to that effect at the start of a date...or the end, if it's newsworthy: "Disclaimer, I might publish flattering/unflattering information about you to my blog...anonymously, of course." “You look like a student,” he said sitting down at my table. “Thanks,” … Continue reading 6.7.16
If you've been wondering why my posts have been more sporadic than usual lately, well, first off I'd like to apologize. I'm still writing, as always. Just not publishing. I've been a bit distracted lately because (thank God), I finally got a "real" job. That's right, I'm not relying on freelancing and brand ambassador-ing as … Continue reading hiatus happens.
I got into kind of a bizarre discussion recently with a new friend. I'm not entirely sure how it was brought up, but he asked if I was a "feminist." If you've seen my Instagram profile, you'll notice that it's listed as one of my keywords; however, I hesitated before answering because that's really all … Continue reading “Girl Power” – Ginger Spice
First off, please excuse the grammar as far as punctuation goes in this article, as I am currently driving to Fort Worth. Don't worry, I'm not texting and driving. Not really. I'm just speaking into the phone...because, well, when inspiration hits...what can you do? So here's the thing that I hate most about this whole … Continue reading Just freaking text him.
Take some NyQuil... This definitely makes my top 5. I’m actually a chronic insomniac, so I ran out of NyQuil a while ago and have since moved on to “harder” stuff. By that, I mean a legit “sleep aid” that I found at Walgreens while looking for melatonin (which has stopped working). Whatever it is, … Continue reading Do NOT Text Him #49
Hide your phone...but not too well. I tried to get my puppy to do this for me, but she didn't really understand. She never did care for fetch. After she stared at me for a full minute with her head cocked, I decided instead to just turn it off and charge it in the kitchen. I … Continue reading Do NOT Text Him #6
Wondering. Wishing. Waiting. That about sums up a girl’s mind after a date with a new guy…that is, if she’s intrigued enough to want a second date. If you haven’t already deduced it by now, I’m absolutely awful at this whole casual dating thing. I guess what it boils down to, is that I have … Continue reading The Don’t Wait Game
Shave those goddamn legs...you can't keep living like this. Pretty sure it’d been about 2 weeks since I last shaved. Please don’t judge me. [ Don't worry. I actually did/wrote this several weeks ago and am now in recovery, on a regular shaving schedule. ] In my defense, I almost always wear jeans (whether I … Continue reading Do NOT Text Him#25
Clean your room...it needs to be done. That awkward moment when Elite Daily starts to sound like your mother... Anyways. I live in a studio apartment, so for me, cleaning my room means cleaning literally the entire unit. Which is slightly more than just cleaning your room as far as space…but a lot more in … Continue reading Do NOT Text Him #34 & #14 (yes, in that order)
Paint your nails...so you physically can't. Ugh. This is a hard one…because I have ADHD and don’t know how to sit still. Also, I’m a writer…so if my nails are wet, sure, it’s great that I can’t text…but I also can’t write or type or read, for that matter. And there are few things I … Continue reading Do NOT Text Him #3
