IRL
Bloggers love to talk about “blogging honestly.” But it’s impossible to blog completely honestly, because blogging is autobiographical! You’re presenting yourself through your own eyes! How can you be 100% positive you’re being your honest, authentic self? How am I different in real life than I seem on my blog? I swear ALL THE TIME.…

Good things about going on lots of OkCupid Dates: Discovering new places around town that you might never have found on your own: Vegetarian’s Paradise, Van Leewen ice cream, The High Line after dark, and even my beloved Mura!

Blogtember #16: Review — Living Single
All the Single Ladies, Put Your Hands Up.Let’s be honest. Having a relationship is great, but being single is tha bomb.

How To Meet an Internet Date
1. Be first to arrive. That way your date has to pick you out of the crowd, not the other way around. You don’t want to be the asshole trying to peer behind every individual’s sunglasses to divine if that is the stranger you are meeting. 2. Don’t pull any punches on your appearance. No…

The Good Shit
Raise your hand if you’ve ever bought something because someone on a blog told you it was awesome. I’m raising at least three hands right now. The way I see it, bloggy friends are like girl-friends. If you found out about something that was awesome, you’d tell me, right? No secrets between girl-friends! Well, these…

Summer Lovin’
You know what totally doesn’t conduct unnecessary heat? Black plastic bandages. SARCASM! Summer in New York City can be…less than pleasant to most. That’s why there’s the cliche of the locals fleeing to the Hamptons. Those with the means literally head for the hill. Ain’t ya never seen The Seven Year Itch? Poor dude abandoned…

Missed Opportunity
Things I Should Have Said to the Random Asshole Who Called Me a “Pale Skeleton” and “Anorexic” After Swearing At Another Random Woman, Making Kissy Noises, and Insulting Her Race: “Mind your own business.” “Watch it, loudmouth.” “Who asked you?” “Learn some respect, asshole.” “Yeah, go home and have a wank over me.” “If that’s…

I’ve already started making headway on my summer checklist! The easiest one to accomplish was finally getting a waffle from the Wafels & Dinges guys.

The Five Scariest Moments in Trapeze
The scaffolding on top of the building? That’s the trapeze school! 1. Climbing the 20 foot tall ladder to get to the platform – exacerbated by the fact that the trapeze structure sits on the roof of a building, making you three stories and 20 feet high in the air. 2. With your toes over…
