Lobbying for Social Change
So if you haven’t heard in the news and all over YouTube, there’s a ton of activity going on in Dewey Square for the Occupy Boston demonstration over the past week or so and that’s all fine and dandy–I hope you get whatever you’re setting out to get. On Wall Street, protesters are angry about political/corporate greed and if that’s your message then power to you, I hope you can formulate a proper way without full-blown anarchy or violence to recognize all your necessary goals. As long as you’re getting your point across, and you help facilitate forward-moving change. Just a side note: I’m sure you’re aware that there are a hell of a lot of helicopters out there and extra police. I hope it’s not...
A website offering $10k to find a guy a wife? No freaking way.
http://www.hookchasup.com/ It has come to this. 40-year old dudes who decided up until now they were going to live the playboy lifestyle are now paying the web to ferret them a wife. It makes me wonder what’s next? Will I see a Facebook ad for this guy? Is it real or are they selling something? If they’re really just spending $ and not earning it here, is it a real win? Yes, I have tapped the online dating world. I have even partied in other cities/towns to try and meet Mr. Correct. I’ve EVEN imported a southern gentleman for a week. I guess what I’m saying is that I’m done. Why can’t he find me? Why do I feel like I’m hunting rather than gathering? Also, do I really want someone who I can and...
It wasn’t love, it was oxytocin
I fall in love in like 2 seconds. Or in like 2 orgasms. And today I know why. It’s because of a little hormone called Oxytocin and it’s tricking women’s minds into falling for anybody with whom we have amazing sex. In layman’s terms: it’s the thing that happens when Avatar and the trees and pterodactyl birds have awkward hair sex. Here’s Wikipedia’s real definition for all you wanna-be nerds. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxytocin So how do we, as women, figure out how to guard our hearts from being broken and detach ourselves from wanting to get naked so early on in a relationship? We need to have a chance to really bond with our partners before that thing that happens when he decides he’d rather go back to...
Directionally Challenged
I suck at directions. And I’m just like a guy when it comes down to asking for them. You might as well even write down directions on a pad of paper for me before I drive 10 minutes to an easy destination and I’ll get as lost as Lilia when I throw a blanket over her head. I need to down an ativan if I ever make it home. Somehow, I get further away from my destination than I had started.. and that’s with your damn drawing or walking me through on the phone. Ideally when this happens, I’d pahk my cah near the closest MBTA sign and take it back to my apartment to charge my battery (long story short: the lighter thing in my car burned my TomTom or at least made it smell like melting plastic and I don’t want to do the same thing...
Dating Déjà Vu (Holiday Edition)
Last night, I drank a little bit of red wine. And my roommate and I started brainstorming about men and dating and romanticism and junk. We boiled down this elusive love post down to one major theme: Everyone we’ve dated romantically has come into our lives for a reason. But how do you KNOW? How do you know when the person that you’re most likely falling for in one form or another is your soulmate? I wish I could answer that question, but let’s just boil down some cold, hard, buzzed thoughts. So sorry in advance if it doesn’t flow like a normal post.. but deal. The one point we kept coming back to was that we seem to relate everybody we’re currently dating to past relationships. Women project. Men live in the moment....
