OMG Shoes
This really isn’t a *dating* rant so much as a fair warning to the guys:
Never EVER EVER EVER tell a girl she has “too many shoes”.
Ever.
This is inspired by my dad’s complaining when we were moving my stuff and half of the truck bed was filled with shoeboxes. He said I had too many shoes and only needed 3 pair.
A guy friend backed that up.
Apparently all I need are dress shoes, sneakers,...

From Renee E. Mestad, MD:
My patient Sherry is 24, pregnant, and the mother of a 7-month-old son. Although her pregnancy was not planned, Sherry and her husband were initially excited to have a little brother or sister for their boy. Then Sherry’s early ultrasound showed she had twins. She and her husband spent several weeks eagerly anticipating the growth of their family.

How many Lady Gaga songs do you have to have on your iPod before people start calling you a fan of her music?
Because I think I’m up to 3 now.

– This is what happens when abortion is illegal, people.
(via Salon)
(via stfuconservatives)
This is why we not only need to keep it legal… it keeps it SAFE… but also why we REALLY need to rethink how we teach sex education in our schools. My own rant on that coming up….!!!

Sex Education: You're doing it wrong
Show of hands… how many of you had sex education during school? Ok.
Let me guess, your regular, everyday teacher… probably crusty old Mrs. Biddy who probably grew up in the olden days… taught the subject in your classroom of about 30 students- both boys and girls. Or if you were lucky, your crabby school nurse taught the basics to separate classes of girls and boys and - if...

All this talk about abortion
rabbleprochoice:
tommmy:
Blah. This is what I feel. If you’re a damn skank getting fucked left and right and get pregnant, you should have to deal with the consequences. But, if you were to get raped or if the baby or your health were in jeopardy, abortion can be considered. No girl should have to bear the child of a rapist. No one. And if your body isn’t in the right condition to bear or even...

Why I hate traveling with a significant other
I’m sure you’ve noticed a common theme I have with my entries is how I love to travel and prefer to do it solo. Barring the exception of trips 3 hours away, I usually don’t travel with anyone I date. I tried. ONCE. It was a waking nightmare that made me REALLY appreciate the perks of driving solo someplace and sure it could get boring at times but it was a world better than...

“Thank god the American voters authoritatively denounced such nonsense in every ballot measure repeatedly.” - Iowa, Mass., Conn., and Vermont made it legal, you ignorant, conservative, uncaring piece of shit. Starting Jan. 1, you can add New Hampshire to the list. Oh,...
Moving on... My Way
Years ago, one of my friends pointed out how I never really seemed to dwell over break-ups. I may cry for a couple hours, but after that I seemed to pick myself up and move on. She couldn’t figure out how I did it.
Truth is… even *I* don’t know, I just know I do it. To me, when a relationship ends, I feel like this: “Ok, back to my regularly scheduled life!”. ...

My *ahem* "Fixer-Upper" Part 4: The END
Ok, I know this was all a long saga, but to be honest… this is the guy that really kicked me onto my whole “I LOVE being single” mind-frame. He served a purpose LOL!
After the Halloween debacle, he promised to put forth more effort in his job search and that he would apply for college. When I saw him again the next weekend, I asked about what classes he signed up for.
He...
Being single and the holidays
Why do some people act like it’s the end of the world? I actually don’t mind. I usually find my Christmases and New Years spent with s/o’s as less fun than the ones without. Then again, considering the rabble I’ve dated it’s easy to see why.
I had one guy make such a fuss at *my* family gathering after 30 minutes because he was “bored” and we had to...

My *ahem* "Fixer-Upper" Part 3: Halloween Hell
Halloween is my favorite time of year. I also have a tradition where I see my favorite concert band perform their annual Halloween show. I wasn’t going to miss it for the world. Mind you, it’s Halloween. I take Halloween very seriously. Meaning, elaborate costume, especially for this event. I get a hotel room, get ready, go to the show and when I come back I can get that costume...

My *ahem* "Fixer-Upper" Part 2: Meet the family
Welcome to Part 2 of my adventures with this guy. Surely, the beginning sounded innocuous enough. It only got worse from there.
One day I went to his family’s house in his small town to meet his family. He lived with his two older brothers, a nephew, and his mom. While I know not everyone is a neat freak like I am, I never in a million years expected what I walked into….

Why I love my guy friends!
I spent the weekend with my guy friends. Friday a friend and I went out and ended up playing pool all night with another girl and her guy-friend. Fun was had by all.
Saturday night was spent pre-celebrating my graduation with my friends’ band. I get treated like one of the guys, teased, and introduced to their dates as an honorary member of their band. We can tease eachother, hug...

Remember when I referred to someone and said I tried to change something about him? Remember my ultimatum? I also alluded to a “piece of shit golddigger” in my last entry. Now, I don’t name *actual* names in my blog, so for the sake of things, we’ll call him GD.
Well, here’s the story! It only lasted about 5 weeks, but it’s 5 weeks of fodder for you to...

Writer's Block: Go it alone
Do you think society puts too much pressure on people to be in relationships and/or have children? Do you think this ostracizes people who would be perfectly content to remain single and/or child-free? Is this pressure worse around the holidays?
OMG YES!!! YES YES YES!!!! I can’t even begin to SAY how much pressure is on me, HAS been on me…. I’m “supposed” to be...

A Critique: Effects of Sexual Deprivation on Women
This is a critique on the article “Effects of Sexual Deprivation on Women” which, considering the link has phrases such as “Jesus is Savior” and “Evils in America”, rest assured, I’ll find it interesting. Its author, Henry Makow also writes for a site called “Save the Males”. Glancing through it honestly scared the hell out of me. Now,...

– The Effect of Sexual Deprivation on Women
I feel sad for people who somehow think they are less entitled to the love, respect and affection of their partner simply because of their genitals. If this isn’t a joke, then this is incredibly screwed up.

Dumb things guys wanted me to change
This is almost as bad as the ultimatums, only instead of asking me to give up something, they wanted to change me.
This is what I don’t get… why do some people approach dating the same way the approach buying a house and remodeling it? Even I’m not innocent in this (I’ll write about it, no worries…because I tried to do it ONCE). Granted, some changes may be in...

My Parents' Ranking System
My parents have long ago given up trying to actually like anyone I bring home because chances are good, they won’t see them again because they’ll most likely piss me off and/or ask me to do something really stupid like one of the ultimatums I ranted about before. Heck, they don’t even bother to remember names.
Years ago, they came up with a ranking system. The only reason that...

Power: Who wants it more?
So if you read my big long entry about ultimatums, you may be wondering: Are men more likely to seek power than women, or vice-versa?
Truth is, there is no difference in the average need in power between men and women. Both need and seek it equally. However, there ARE gender differences between need for power and relationships. The downside is, most studies are conducted on the bad specifics...

Ultimatums: Power currency or a crock of shit?
Ready for some more lessons drawn from my wonderful Interpersonal Relationships Psychology class?

After all, the whole point of my blog is to entertain and inform! I know I’ve stated before how things happen, and I try to follow up with WHY it...

Really Dumb Ultimatums
Guys have asked me to do a number of things in order to “make a relationship work”. Funny thing about it is… it was all about what *I* should do, they were apparently perfect in every way. Hmph! Some of this stuff is amazing. Now I’ve said before I’m pretty self-centered, and a lot of these things were asking me to give up things that were essential to me and my...
