I've been thinking about a lot of things lately, good and bad things, stupid things, things that annoy me, and I've had several posts running through my mind about each of those things. Then, the other day, I pretty much realized something that negates it all. I'd like to share that with you today, and… Continue reading Move On, Move Forward

Online Dating – Week 4
Today, we're going to take a look at my "About Me" section on the dating site, and you guys get to critique it! That's right, since most of you are writers, I'm recruiting you to tell me what in the hell is wrong with my "bio" ... or not. About Me: I'm getting the feeling… Continue reading Online Dating – Week 4
Dating Site Tip #4
Guys, please, for the love of God, don't come off as totally jaded in your profile. What I mean is, don't write things like, "if you're here to play games, just keep looking because I'm not the guy for you," and shit like that. It's really off-putting, and makes me skip your profile simply because… Continue reading Dating Site Tip #4
Singled Out – Online Dating – Week 3
I'm seriously beginning to doubt Match.com's matching capabilities. Just because two people both have dogs doesn't make them a match. Even better? Just because a guy shares the same birth month with me, it most certainly does not make us a match. Why? Two Gemini together are great as friends, but as lovers? Oh hell… Continue reading Singled Out – Online Dating – Week 3
Dating Site Tip #3
Gentlemen, learn how to spell, please. For someone like me, if you don't know the difference between "your" and "you're," I'm less likely to be interested because it shows either a lack of education or that you're a lazy writer. I am a writer and editor, after all. UPDATE: a woman who has an education will very rarely… Continue reading Dating Site Tip #3
Online Dating – Week 2
So...I'm kidding. Well, not much happening in week two other than I've had no contact with Bachelors #1 and #2, but have had a few phone conversations with Bachelor #3 (aka Nocturnal One) after having drinks and wonderful conversation with him last Friday (the 16th). I met him at 9pm at Barnes & Noble (my… Continue reading Online Dating – Week 2
Fresh Start
In lieu of my cooking escapades this week, I've decided to share with you something I've found recently - one of Umi's poems. That's right, my mother is a poet and has several of them...somewhere around here. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. At a time when your world's Full of hurt and pain When… Continue reading Fresh Start
Track Changes 101
Today, I'm going to teach you all about Track Changes in MS Word. If you don't know what that is, that's okay. I've encountered many writers over the last few years who haven't a clue. I've taught them via phone and email; I can teach you through a blog post. Actually, it'll be easier this way because… Continue reading Track Changes 101
Online Dating and Me
Okay, so some of you know, if you've been paying attention, that I signed up for an online dating service during my apparent inebriated state after coming home from Atomic night in Scottsdale on Sunday, September 4th. I'll admit, even with the buzz I carried, I was a tad nervous about the prospect. I mean… Continue reading Online Dating and Me
Updates and #Stuff
Hi. I thought I'd drop in to give a quick update as to what I've been up to lately. 🙂 Homework--it has buried me and I'm in the midst of Shakespeare's damn sonnets (which I actually do love) and mid-terms. I've already completed my Anthropology mid-term, but still have my English mid-term to take by… Continue reading Updates and #Stuff
