Natalie Dylan is selling her virginity to pay for grad school. Yes, you heard me right.

Selling her virginity.

To pay for grad school.


Oh, but it's so empowering to women! And it's for a noble cause: to pay for her education to become a marriage counselor. Hey! Natalie! Teach a couple undergrad courses and your tuition is waived, batbrain ( Read more... )

Despite the circumstances, I have to admit that living with Katie is pretty awesome. We're doing what we've always wanted to do ever since we were little girls: sharing an apartment within a walking distance of the Pick-Me-Up, doing our art, and spoiling a kitty. And the guys that we live with are amazing. Even though I don't want a boyfriend right ( Read more... )

Katie and I figured out precisely what our little community needed.

Happiness.

Okay, so this is kind of mundane, I know, but it TOTALLY MADE MY DAY.

Today started like any other day at the Cafe At The Cultural Center... until I went to go get ice for the icebox. There, in the loading dock, smoking a cigarette, was PATRICK SWAYZE! Aparently he was filming the pilot for The Beast on the Washington Ave. steps and in Preston ( Read more... )

Katie and I went to the beach yesterday! Oh Chicago, how I adore you!!!

Yes, there is a lot more going on in my life than online dating. However, nothing makes me lunge for the blog like a Crap E-mail From A Dude. They're just so compelling. It's like a trainwreck full of clowns; you don't want to look, but you can't look away, and you don't know whether to laugh or scream. But this one really, REALLY takes the cake. ( Read more... )

Wow. All of the "special" guys are doing online dating now. I was starting to feel like maybe talking to guys on the internet would be easier than talking to them in real life, because... you know... dudes are scary. But boy, it sure seems like the internet is just a forum for a dude to be an ASS. Wonderful. However, some of it is really hilarious ( Read more... )

Optimism. I lack it. But these songs are full of happy!

My friend Christian is in this band. He plays the piano. I think this song expresses his playful and darling spirit. As you can imagine, he totally has a baby face. Whenever I hear this song it reminds me of the time that Skybox came out to Philadelphia while they were on a brief East Coast ( Read more... )

It is really, really weird to interact with guys again. After two years of not even looking at dudes, I have no idea how to talk to them. "Um...hi. You're really cute, so I thought I'd say hi and ohmygodjesusfuckingchristIamlonely." I want to talk to them. They smile at me, and I can tell that they want me to talk to them. I've been dressing up and ( Read more... )

I'm starting to get to a point where I can get attention from males and it doesn't make me feel like sobbing. I'm pretty sure this is a good thing...? A start? I hope so. My job is definitely helping. It helps to have a schedule, to have to be out of bed and presentable at a certain time, and then to spend most of my day surrounded by people; not ( Read more... )
