best day ever.
morning sex. playing with a dog. attending three brunches. browsing a killer used bookstore. four hours of charades with the funniest people I know with snow outside.

A Woman's Annual Guide to Holiday Dating
Inspired by this timely blog post, this is a compilation of advice gleaned from the dance floors of The Thirsty Turtle, crack of dawn walks of shame from Frat Row, and the impossibly cheap prices of alcohol in the state of Maryland. When they handed you your diploma, we hope you were given some standards as well. Here’s your guide to holiday dating in the “real world,” whether...
Having someone help you move two weeks after you start seeing each other is the ultimate test of if this is going somewhere.

Dead Presidents: One Final Note →
deadpresidents:
I don’t hate Ron Paul. I am opposed to Ron Paul’s political beliefs. One of the big problems in this country is that we confuse political opposition with personal enmity.
You know, in 1858 when Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas battled each other in their historic debates throughout Illinois,…

Subways, Sex Offenses and Penn State Football
This morning, I put on my standard skirt and blazer for an entirely different purpose than work. Instead of packing a lunch, I picked up my subpoena and made my way to the local court house.
About two months ago, a creep on the subway exploited my affinity for sundresses and took a picture up my skirt. Luckily, a police officer literally caught him in the act. In the grand scheme of things, it...

There is no free lunch. But there is lunch somebody else pays for. There’s nothing wrong with somebody else buying your lunch—so long as they know they’re buying it and you know what they’re going to expect in return.
Prior to the passage of the Dodd-Frank bill, some of the large…

I have a lot of thoughts about Troy Davis, and about the death penalty in general. And I haven’t written them yet because I need to sort them out, and for now, they are still all jumbled up in my head.
But this is one of the things that I wanted to...

So Long and Thanks For All The Fish
I’m shutting down my OkCupid profile. What started as an unemployed gal’s attempt to bypass the job protocol, start a funny blog and get a book deal spiraled into something very, very different.
I got the stories I wanted, but most were creepy, some were funny and a handful were even meaningful. I experienced the whole spectrum of dates - from wonderful to horrid -after four years of...
