I'm just your typical female oxymoron -- and, no, that's not a play on my intelligence. I'm a girlie tomboy, a misanthropic humanitarian, an introverted extrovert, a realistic liberal, a cynical romantic.

Oh Tucker, you dirty mutha *ucker.

As much as I enjoy hymning and hawing about my insecurities when it comes to being in a monogamous relationship, there is a certain dignity and sweet relief the washes over me anytime I walk by a packed-to-the-gills Center City bar on a hot Friday night. Yes, there is a special kind of exhilaration in […]
Happy Birthday to me…
August 8, 2007 – 4:38 pm
Hola everyone…
Seeing as tomorrow is my 29th birthday, I’m taking a break from the blog this go ’round…I’m sure you don’t want to read my whiny musings on how it feels to be only one year away from 30, especially those of you who are considerably older (please don’t tell me, “Oh, just wait til […]
Back to Whack
August 1, 2007 – 6:00 pm
Looking over my last few posts, I think it’s fair to say that some of you loyal readers are most likely a bit perturbed and annoyed that I have appeared to find some sort of satisfaction in my more-often-than-not usually pathetic love life. Hell, I even make my self want to vomit a little. […]
Hi, I’m your replacement. Hi, I’m your replacement…

One of my favorite things about Philadelphia is that, in a lot of ways, it reminds me of Charleston. Sure, it’s a major city, but when it comes to knowing your neighbors and their dirty laundry, it starts to resemble a small town. Like Charleston, it seems like everyone is one person away from knowing […]
Why I used to love a**holes. The people, not the actual…ahem.

When it comes to my behavior in regard to past relationships, casual dating, and, convenient flings, I can honestly say that I’ve been a bad girl, who more often than not was in need of a spanking (and usually received it more ways than one.) For those loyal readers of my former column, you know […]
An EX-periment in Friendship.
July 10, 2007 – 8:23 pm
Blame it on my new found sense of possibility, blame it on the “country mouse in the big city” label, blame it on the fact that for the first time in my life, I feel like I’m in a healthy relationship, or blame my lack of energy to hold grudges — I have the overwhelming […]
Strangers in the night, doo-be-doo-be-D*…

If Dante Alighieri’s view of Hell happens to be true, most people would probably place me in either the Second Circle, reserved for those overcome by lust, or the Sixth, which is the home for heretics. I myself have always figured I’d fit perfectly into the First Circle, the one set aside for those of […]
I’ll take BFFs over BFs anyday.
June 20, 2007 – 12:45 pm
The first week after my break-up with N* was a tough one. Unlike with S*, I didn’t call my friends for shoulders to cry on or generic sympathetic compliments. I didn’t even want to acknowledge the fact that on the surface we had every possibility of making a relationship work, when the simple truth is […]
Strike Two: The Machosexual
June 13, 2007 – 12:16 pm
After returning from my short visit in Charleston, it’s safe to say that I suffered from a slight bout of depression. But that was to be expected, of course. Besides, I had lived in Charleston for 5 years, knew my way around the town without the assistance of a pocket map, and couldn’t walk down […]
Vacation time!
June 6, 2007 – 11:58 am
I know, I know, when you’re unemployed, EVERYDAY is vacation time. But since I returned from my long weekend in Charleston, I’m still playing catch up with homework and other obligations back here in Filthydelphia. Therefore, this week’s installment is going to have to take a back seat for a few days. Besides, it’s Spoleto […]
