TNJB: i forget, did we implement a marriage clause in case neither of us have tied the knot by like 35?
M: i also forget but i feel i may have done this with drew as well
i guess if all three of us are woefully single i'll have you guys duel for it
and i'd probably actually marry the loser since they'd need a spouse more
TNJB: hahahaha
that's tumblr worthy

let's get this straight
TNJB: whatever happened to that promise of an iphone for a blowjob and some pancakes?
M: it was a kindle
and with your guidance i turned it down
plus i wanted the 3g version
TNJB: good girl
i can only hope one day I can give my daughter the same advice

I'm an acceptable human being!
Is it weird how satisfied I am knowing that someone I respect would have set me up with someone if I were single? I’m not as outwardly crazy as I think!

playing games, a match, and love
Have a tennis date tonight with Appleton. Fun with exes!
It seems we’ve had the prerequisite amount of talk about our relationship conquests since each other that we can be friends now. Which is nice, because he lives pretty close and is always up for tennis or soccer. And he’s moving across the country later this year so not a moment too soon!
What is it about that talk about...

Kickball friends.
It’s sad playing a social sport on the same team as your sig other, because there’s so much sloppy flirting to do with little consequence. Doesn’t mean it’s not fun to watch other people!
Yesterday I declined sharing a cab with friends because my very drunk teammate was trying to make good with some girl he danced with a lot of the night and at some...
dating in the older years
I don’t think I’m old. I’m solidly in the mid twenty range, partying it up, playin’ kickball, all that hold-on-to-my-youth stuff. But I have a married older sister with a daughter…my baby niece!
As seemed to be natural, I’d share pics and videos of my niece with Office Spouse. I mean, she’s an exciting part of my life being family ‘n all. And I...
new post
Because the last one was depressing. Don’t worry, I have had too many on/off relationships to let just a low point get in the way! It’ll be at least another year before I figure out if I never liked Office Spouse in the first place. :-)
In other news, I am getting along with more exes than ever. And am going to two weddings this month! All time high.

A taste of the end
Office Spouse left without asking for a kiss. Probably because I refused to give him a hug. But he stole one anyway. It’s been like this for a week or so. We are the best couple…

once every few years ain't bad
It happened once with GG and it happened again…I found out casually that Office Spouse voted for McCain back in the day (2008).
With GG I found out by uncovering some campaign poster, which was scary. With Office Spouse, I was just voicing how I was worried about what a field day Republicans could have pointing out Obama’s faults, and how it might get blown out of proportion...

... and the tea was ineffable
Me: Wells, I just don't know if I want organic tea because it sort of has this chalky taste and sometimes I just kinda go like bleh.
Alex: No, no, these have a specific blend... {blah blah about how wonderful and unique the tea is... on and on}
Me: {Thinking: I'm going to try this tea based on the fact that this guys eyes are the bluest blue and he's majorly gorgeous} Ok, surprise me!

Seriously blue/green eyed people have got unfair powers.
good intentions, I swear
Things that shouldn’t cheer me up as much as they do: Talking to exes. Whatever, I’m pretty sure after dating Office Spouse for a year, any exes are pretty safe from being Bad Ideas.
At the moment, I’m chatting with Appleton about his prostate. This is somehow a totally clean conversation. Just aftermath from his hernias last year.
Also I thought it was funny that GG’s...

another blunt milestone
I can’t find the post now but there was that “milestone” of “I would officially feel bad if I cheated on Office Spouse”.
Now “I am sure that if we broke up I’d be devastated.”
So yay! I think. Potential for heartbreak. /dance

I abstain
I am just not doing Valentine’s Day this year. I hardly do, but I’m not gonna pretend today has to be special. I’m in a bad mood and I just want to have a low key day of minimal interaction, is that too much to ask?
I certainly don’t mind Vday in general…it’s like any other holiday or even a birthday. An extra nudge to be thoughtful. I’d hate to denounce the holiday season just because it’s...
mini swoon
My original office crush and I chatted a bit today. Not meant to be! Just not meant to be. (Also I think I have more than one pre-Office Spouse crush in this giant office.) Gotta keep the work days as enjoyable as possible I s’pose!
And TNJB, you totally had a chance of visiting this weekend but ya didn’t. Sooooo no you can’t spend V-day with me. Sorry. :-) Besides, man,...
Decisions, Decisons?
So that last post had me thinking…it’s a week to Valentine’s day. Damn. Probably should have considered postponing this recent slew of manwhoredom til March kicked off.
So…I think I should start deciding who I want to see. Especially since I’m sure some of these girls will take me seeing another girl over them on that day as a definite indicator not to pursue...
Too much of a good thing.
Friday: Got rainchecked by Genuine Ingenue after she got delayed at Sundance. Was able to scour up a last minute replacement for the evening with Plus One. Cool chick. Latina/Irish/Black/Other mutt. Mom’s from East Village projects, Dad’s a retired cop. Went to Art School, trying to be a teacher in an economy that wants none. Cuuuute. Started modeling on a whim and it kinda took off....
What would you do for a Kindle?
M: I think Appleton offered his Kindle to me for a few homecooked meals and most likely some sex. Probably shouldn’t have considered it as much as I did. But if one of the meals could just be pancakes (he likes my pancakes) the groceries wouldn’t be that expensive!

There are 28 mid-20s Asian females providing escort services in your...
Countdown
Monday: Dammnit! Fucked this one up. Miss Clavicle. Israeli but raised in NYC. a Native! Gorgeous. Probably second best looking girl of the week. Meet at a cozy little craft beer bar called Grape&Grain. She just got laid off from being an Alcohol and Drug Addiction counselor. Has been drinking heavily. I join her. This does not go well. Well…first half of the night is great. I remember a...

If only every Saturday went like this...
Vice Versa. 25, tall, lithe, great smile, dimples. Shockingly blue eyes. Actress/Waitress. Snow caused train delays for my line, so she was waiting 45 minutes for me at the restaurant, our table given away. She’s cool with it. Very laid back. I love her laugh.
After some drinks at the bar, Manager gets us a new table. Italian restaurant. High class but kinda cheesy. Place is mostly older...
I'll be accepting your movie offers
First, yay TNJB is back! Real dating stories. All I got is a lightly edited (mostly for names and coherence) convo between my friend and I. Context: Me ‘n OS were having a Talk (TM) regarding things I don’t want to talk about anymore and things got emotional. This is afterwards. Enjoy!

Return from the Grave.
These are the voyages of a 25 year-old still stuck in college. His continuing mission: to explore strange new women, to seek out new love and new exploitations, To boldly go where no man has gone before.
Busy week. Lots of first dates. Here’s the rundown:
Saturday: Hot Mess. Backup dancer for new pop singer. Her claim to fame is that the lyrics written for her first single were originally...
It must be love?...
After 6 months of not using my Wii Fit, me ‘n the Office Spouse weighed in.
We both gained the same number of pounds.
Clearly we are doing something right…or very wrong.
IN OTHER NEWS I have a post I’ve been meaning to finish/break up. Let’s call it the Ronaldo affair. Or lack thereof. Let’s just say that kid’s got balls.

guest star this holiday season
Hoping to meet up with Ronaldo, the part Japanese part Brazilian polyglot tonight. You may recall he had attachment (detachment?) issues summed up by a casual marriage proposal and was a terrible kisser. Worse than McGeek. Oh well…I know he has no trouble with the ladies otherwise. I’m excited to hear about his recent adventures!

Let the games begin
Sig other out of town for a week apparently means rampantly making other dates (non-romantic!). Not out of boredom, but out of freedom! Sometimes I have a hard time telling him not to come over or that I’m not going over or doing things without inviting him along. How many coffee/dessert dates are healthy for one day?

Office Spouse and I are just making each other unhappy. Or rather, I am unhappy and that is making him unhappy. Half the time he/I sleep over at the other place I choose to sleep on the couch. I’ve never felt like this for more than an isolated night or two with any other person I’ve dated. You can only imagine what the (non)sex life is like. I can’t figure out what’s...

Fashion.Poetry.Lalanii: Is being in a relationship... →
lalanii:
Many people focused on building their career view being in a romantic relationship as a time sink. Several entrepreneurs have told me that they don’t have time for a relationship. To evaluate whether this is true, we need to look at the three possible relationship states pre-marriage.

flashback
One of those funny things you realize later.
One of the things Appleton said to me the last times we broke up was “I like cats, but I don’t want one for a girlfriend.”
Good for him. Not into beastiality.
-M
In a manner of speaking
Sometimes I’d like to tell McGeek that he should probably ease up on his use of “homegoose/homegeese”, that he doesn’t have to preface every video he posts by saying few if not no small mammals were harmed in the making of the video and that promising to buy people a unicorn doesn’t have its charm after the first time less every time…
It’s surely...
and we're back
Random break in communication over. It was a good break though. We talk too much! And on a cornhole team together so it was a difficult break to maintain. All is well.
Can’t fully explain what I needed and how I got it from not talking to him and how that is a good thing yet. Thoughts…still forming.

Postponed, or modified
It’s hard to describe exactly what the decision outcomes were when I posted last, but it was just about the future of Office Spouse and I in general. Generally not good. Being with him either makes me happy or very angry/sad. The ratio was inacceptable. However, I’ll be the first to acknowledge that this has more to do with me and my feelings and less to do with anything to do with...

Responsibility and trust
Office Spouse is taking public transportation home today and letting me use his car all night. He’s nice. Too nice.

M: Duncan Sheik!
Office Spouse: He's barely breathing
self fulfilling prophecy
Office Spouse and I have been spending too too too much time with each other according to my 3rd party self. My 1st party member doesn’t really mind. I am liking it. But it doesn’t seem healthy. And whenever this happens with someone it ends really badly because we were so co-dependent and co-habitant that we didn’t even realize how sad things had gotten. I also tend to...

Snake Guy is still in grad school in Singapore or whatever (I’m too lazy to confirm) and we’ve exchanged some facebook messages. He must be lonely!
GG is a jerk (okay, not really). All signs point to him being back at least tentatively with his ex, and I’ve officially stopped having conversations with him. We’ll still maybe comment on facebook a bit, twitter...
Met the parents
So in the past two weekends I met Office Spouse’s parents, grandmothers, and an aunt and an uncle. It was a lot. It was okay. They’re just happy their precious is finally dating someone. And I seem like a nice enough girl?
Busy with work in general. Or else I’d be musing per usual. :-)
I will say that his 80 yr old paternal grandmother is awesome.

too many acquaintances getting engaged
Am I old now? Hmm. Marriage is a possibility? I think I’ll run and hide instead.
I’ve caught myself thinking about it…all I’ve figured out is that I’ll need a chain to wear my engagement ring on so I can still do tae kwon do and not tear up everything or give people undue bruises. And I’d also not have to take it off myself so much that I’d inevitably...

let's figure out what it's not
In my crazy world, I’ve hit a milestone. I officially would feel super guilty if I hooked up with someone else.
Does this mean that before I might not have? Yeah, probably not super guilty anyway. I mean, I did do some weird dating 3 guys at once thing without them really knowing about each other. And there was guilt there. But it was totally manageable. (That’s not the right...
