Occasional musings from a Left-coast Canadian ExPat in Oxford.
I toyed with posting this, as it’s a bit risqué for what I’d normally post here, however I find it too amusing NOT to blog. But I will include a bit of a warning: This post contains adult subject matter. Continue reading at your own risk! Asterisks have been used to try and protect me … Continue reading 2006 – In with a Bang!
I have recently discovered that if someone says “you’re such a great catch” (occasionally preceeded by “I don’t know why you’re single, because…) I am likely to be overcome with an insatiable urge to cause them bodily harm. That is all. Carry on. Continue reading Trigger
Ever since reading He’s Just Not That Into You I’ve been pretty blase about guys who don’t call back. Virtually everyone I’ve dated in the past year has just “stopped calling” at some point (a few because I ripped them apart on the world wide web and they took the hint), and it was all … Continue reading The Drop Off
This one’s for the boys. Hear that boys? I have a problem! This is where you solve it in the comments! Isn’t that what your species does when us wimmens complain? Ok, hop to it… In case you hadn’t noticed, I’m a girl. The other thing you may not have noticed is that I like … Continue reading Tire Biter?
Thank you my babies! You’re all lovely and wonderful and I know you’re all with me when it counts! Between a good cry, a good sleep, and all of your supportive comments and emails, I feel a frillion times better. I would like to give each of you kisses and diamonds and hundreds of hundred … Continue reading Buzzing
I just did something monumentally stupid. I told a friend that I love him. That Way Goodbye Friendship, Hello Rejection! I really don’t make a habit of doing this. While I’ll sometimes have revolving crushes on friends and acquaintances, they usually fade pretty quickly. I’ve never felt strongly enough about anyone to put a friendship … Continue reading Splat
Vancouver is a small, small city. I went out on a date with another someone from Lavalife this past weekend, and it turns out he’s a recent ex of a local blogger I “know.” Not that we know eachother offline at all, but we’ve been reading, and occasionally commenting on eachother’s blogs for the better … Continue reading One Degree
Although I haven’t had much time to date lately, I still continue to torture myself by connecting with people from lavalife. I’ve been exchanging emails with one gentleman who seems like he’d at least be interesting company. After a week and about 6 messages back and forth, I finally suggested in my most recent correspondance … Continue reading Don’t Talk to Strangers
Remember a while back, when I talked about my physical type? And that part where I said all of those were negotiable, and don’t really matter? I think I lied. Because as much as I may get along with guys of all shapes, sizes and colours, a pair of big chocolate coloured eyes, on a … Continue reading Full of Shit
…I re-joined the ranks of single women. So far it’s been one of my best years on record. This is the longest I’ve been single at one stretch in 10 years – pretty much since I discovered boys – and holy hannah the fun I’d been missing! So I celebrated this morning with nookie and … Continue reading One Year Ago Today…
One Stick. For to beat the masses of eligible bachelors off with. I prefer a nice heavy teak. Thank you. Continue reading Wanted
The major reason for the spontaneous combustion of the not-quite-relationship I just got out of, was the gross misrepresentation on the part of the guy (let’s call him Mike, cuz that’s his name, and I told you that already) about exactly who he is and what he’s about. Let’s just say that when we discussed … Continue reading Ridiculously High Standard #9: Don’t Prented to Be Something You’re Not
Shortly after I finished ranting and raving at one of my best friends the other day, he looked me dead in the eyes and said: You are such a GIRL. Have I taught you NOTHING? It was just the kick in the teeth I needed to finally make me realize what a chump I am … Continue reading The Apathy has Taken Over Me
After last night’s Foo Fighters concert, new guy and I met up for a quick minute with a good friend of his (we had been holding their stuff as we were in the stands and they were on the standing only floor). It was like a page out of the soap-opera bar-star days all over again. Very odd. Very disconcerting. (More after the jump if your feed isn’t indicating that.)

Ok, so here’s the dirt. I’ve been seeing a guy for a couple months. We met on Lavalife at the end of May, and met in person in early June. We hit it off pretty well from the get-go. And the whole experience has reminded me that even more than car shopping, I LOATHE the … Continue reading The One About the Guy
