Ode to Champagne

“In victory, you deserve Champagne, in defeat, you need it.” -Napoleon Bonaparte
I’ve taken to indulging in a few glasses of sparkling wine for various reasons these past few days- to ease the nerves of an exhausting commute (it’s a bad idea to miss your stop on an express train in Queens…), to celebrate a […]

The Relationship Game

I’ve always been a competitive girl. Since joining Facebook I am kicking ass and talking virtual shit all over Srabulous. This is part of what makes me an avid sports fan, a passionate debater, and ultimately a New Yorker.
But sometimes I worry that I’m behind in the relationship game. I’ve made it through the […]

Playing Dress Up

Playing the role of Corporate Girl for a job interview- up with the morning rush hour with a Starbucks in one hand and laptop slung over the opposing shoulder-
Empowering.
Choosing flats over heels that night because before you’ve even left the house you can’t get excited about the possibility of kicking them off at the […]

(cont.) Tales From the Dating Vault

Just realized I left some unfinished business on my story of dating a freshman, and since it’s one I use to remind myself of the confidence I’m able to muster when needed, I thought now would be a good time to continue:
After a surprisingly great first date with a younger guy, I was expecting a phone […]

About Me- Easily Influenced

I’ve recently become a full-blown Facebook user. I had a profile before, but had never uploaded a picture, filled out any information, and joined purely because a friend invited me to see some photos.
My inspiration for the change of heart? I was invited to Buddy’s birthday party- where I met the adorable Non-threatening Bouncer- through Facebook […]

My First 20

Since it seems to be a bit of a blogging rite of passage, I’ve decided to tackle the ubiquitous “100 Things About Me” list. Lucky for you, I’m breaking it down into manageable chunks of twenty at a time, in an attempt at always leaving them wanting more, and because even I don’t think […]

What Exactly Do You Need My ID for?

I walked into the bar on the minute the invite had specified. The cute guy with the casually relaxed stance was one of the least intimidating bouncers I had ever seen, but also struck me as one of the most unconventionally attractive men I had seen in a long time.
I rummaged through gloves, iPod, […]

Candy Wrappers and Rose Petals

And it passes, just as any other day does.
Roses lie discarded on the ground. Crinkled aluminum foil overflows from garbage cans across the land. Deflated balloons lose their heart shape and hover dangerously above ground.
The beginning of a champagne headache buzzes behind eyes across America.
Some are relieved, some are content, and most are […]

Mind Over Heart-Shaped, Chocolate-Covered Matter

Here’s the thing about Valentine’s Day. As a single individual you have three choices:

1. Complain about it
2. Ignore it
3. Embrace it   
  
Now, there is more than enough complaining in the world, so I’m going to leave that one to those who can make a more passionate argument than myself. I considered ignoring the day and posting as if […]

Tales from the Dating Vault

My best friend once said to me in college that she worried I wasn’t as confident as I was in high school. I blame this on my habit of outgrowing ponds. At a small public high school in my hometown, I was confident because I wasn’t challenged. I could join every club, ace every […]
