Spring has finally sprung, and picnicking season is upon us. Picnics are a great way to get away from all the hustle and bustle and day-to-day distractions, or a way to get to know someone new, or to reconnect with friends and loved ones.
Here are some of my favorite romantic picnic foods.
Strawberries, Grapes, and Hand [...]
04.05Creepy right-on.
I met my friend Frankie at Grape Street on one of those nights where one drink turns into leaving at 4 a.m. I remember exactly what we talked about and it’s something that’s lead me to believe what I do today. That night, Frankie ranted to me about astrology.
I knew I was a Virgo - [...]
I admit right here in front of thousands (possibly billions) of people that I am in fact crazy. There, I said it. My mom has told me. My friends have told me. Hell, I’ve had exes tell me.
Growing up I was primed for a degree. I was taught how to make pleats in my plaid [...]
As I cuddled up with my blankets for about the sixth movie of the weekend, I let out a sigh of relief. One because I was eating Slow Churned Cookie Dough ice cream. Two and most importantly, because I didn’t have to share it with anyone. While I was still getting used to the idea [...]
I thought I’d make my comeback with an extravagant entrance. Picture a ticker tape parade with floats composed of people wearing burlap sacks and holding Zimas. Visualize a nun pontificating about abstinence and the benefits. Imagine a cop confiscating an 8th of weed and the criminal being delighted. This has been encompassing me for the [...]
One of my favorite songs off of Londinium, Archive’s “Again.”
The original song is a commitment-listen, stacking in at 16:20. It’s filled with mostly musical interludes, but once it crescendos and gets going, it’s an indomitable piece of music. The lyrics connect with anyone who’s left a long-term relationship or been broken up with. The song [...]
I just moved across the country. Here, in no particular order, are the things I have learned and will probably screw up again:
1) Don’t give your mom a set of keys because she will surreptitiously bring boxes down to your apartment and sneak them into the moving truck without you even getting a [...]
I posted this on my MySpace earlier and I need some more feedback… I usually don’t post super-personal blogs on this site, but I’m wondering… is this funny or just really awkward?
From a recent conversation with a soon-to-be ex, regarding a mutual friend and discovering how he knew her. It was kind of funny then [...]
Yesterday Elizabeth wrote 10 Things men should always do. There are some insightful things in there that, at least for me, should be common knowledge, but I’m sure someone will find them useful. There is always a flip side to the coin. Like Elizabeth, I’m in my 20’s, OK late 20’s, single [...]
You may think what I’m about to write here is asking a lot, but I don’t think so. Let me preface this by saying that I’m 25 and while having had a good number of fulfilling and healthy relationships in my life, I’m currently single. However not lacking the attention of men by any means, [...]
