the dating game -- single/white/HOT WHEELS

              Well, here’s the long awaited scoop from Hot Wheels. I’ve been dating a guy for over two months now, which is sort of a record for me as of late (sad, I know). I really like him: he’s tall, and funny, wears a cute leather jacket, and holds my hand a lot in public. (Sure, he doesn’t really say sweet things or buy me presents, but whatever.) But we...

No, I will not call you 'daddy' --...

      Whoa. As of four minutes ago, I’ve had the awkwardest revelation of all. I’m at the office, so naturally I decided to not work and spend some time outlining the “type” of guy I’m typically interested in. I tried this last year and decided I liked engineers/designers who play hot/cold all the time and are probably libertarians. This was alarmingly true in...

The Ideal Counterpart to Single/White/Awkwardness...

             I’m one of those people that writes everything down, not because I want to but because if I didn’t I would likely sit alone at home and never know where I was supposed to be, who I was supposed to be with or what I am doing there. I have recently taken to jotting quick notes in my iphone’s notes section when I don’t have a pen (more likely: when I’m out...

"i'm a player, but i don't fuck a lot" --...

               I’m a hot mess. Aside from car trouble, work, and some family drama, my lust life is really what’s making me most crazy. And hopefully thinner because I’m eating half as much as I used to. Yes, feel bad for me and bask in my sexorexia. Before you judge any further, I’m not actually having any sex right now. Only single, white, awkward situations for me....

"HIGH SCHOOL STRIKES AGAIN, AND SUCKS" --...

          In the 9th grade I was head over heels for this guy named Tom. That’s his real name—I’m not giving him a nickname because I feel like the name of your high school crush is too important. It forms a sort of iconic impression in your mind. I was rarely lucky enough to end up in a class with him, and at the beginning of high school you only get to know the people in your classes. So, I...

"That 2 for One Special" -- single/white/PLATH-PIE

          Last night, I went out on a date with a guy I met a few weeks ago. Let’s call him “Crazy Eyes”. Not because he has a lazy eye or anything, but it was classic hot guy, big-ego syndrome channelled with horrible eye-contact. We met up at a bar called Laurel Tavern for drinks— good pick, and I was right. Unfortunately for him, but I’ll explain later....

"Got Some VD Lovin on the Courts'" --...

       I mean it was Valentine’s Day, who cares…right? Sometimes it’s alright to settle for lovin’ when you’re not in love. Yes, this post is late. On the bright side, it’s because I have been out too much and didn’t have the time to write. First, let’s rewind to my last post for a moment: I apparently have a Valentine…more on that later. I have a dodgeball game that night though which I’d...

“THE ACTOR” – single/white/PLATH-PIE

              I decided to go out with an actor. Yes, I gave him the benefit of the doubt: he could be the next “Laurence Olivier”. Not. Cut me some slack, he was cute. Why not.  So we meet up at a bar in the North Hollywood area—apparently, it was a spot he’d been meaning to try out. Well, I arrive (late) and it’s located in the ghetto part of North Hollywood. Yes, there are sketchy, taco-stand...

"Full Circle: An Intro" -- single/white/HOT WHEELS

            I was super flattered when SCRUBS asked if I wanted to join their crack team of awkward dating experts. Flattered, but not surprised, because I have a proven history of being a pro blogger. And a proven history of having awkward dates.   I don’t have a particularly complex dating history. I’ve had one real boyfriend. We dated for four years, high school into college. Then, in my...

"Acquired Taste: An Intro" -- single/white/TEENAGE...

                          These days I don’t have much difficulty getting people to approach me.  Not because I’ve blossomed into the hot girl that gets amorous stares from across the room… because I haven’t. It’s just that when you have long purple hair, multiple facial piercings and a wardrobe full of novelty clothes, you become somewhat of a walking conversation piece. For example people...

"Embracing the Single Life...A Little Too Much...

                            So yesterday, when I was supposed to write this intro that I’ve been seriously putting off, I found myself in my room with my dog (yes, it’s a tiny little shit dog, in case you were wondering) my newly purchased body pillow, and a full inbox on Match. I ruined the moment for myself by realizing that I was indeed comically living the single life (not a bad...

"Good Girl Gone Bad: An Intro" --...

                           A long, long, long, LONG time ago I was a prude. A big one. Specifically, a germaphobe prude, who refused to drink out of the same cup as another person out of fear of acquiring herpes of the mouth, mono, or lupus. Okay, fine…I still have that fear. But it’s more contained these days. Let’s dial back a moment to the early 2000’s. My first real kiss was my freshman year...
