Weekend Abroad Into the wild, wild waters of the Five College areaNotorious CHO in full effect Last night the ladies and I hopped on the PVTA and headed towards Amherst to see Margaret Cho live. Let it be said that I am a ridiculous Cho fan and I was happy to see that SmithCollege was representing in a big way. In fact, we nearly outnumbered the Amherst students hosting the event. Waiting in line...

Sweet Twenty-One Yesterday marked my twenty-first year on the planet. Seeing as it was a Monday, things weren’t too wild. However, I believe that all parties involved had a decent amount of fun. The ladies and I went out for dinner and drinks (cosmos and tequila shots) at Packard’s and then home for presents and Sex and the City. I was later joined by L3 for yet another awkward (but...

Girls Gone Wild: Haven-Wesley When members of the opposite sex learn that I attend a women’s college, they typically utilize one of two responses: Wow, that’s very interesting. My [mom, sister, girlfriend, cousin] went to [Smith, Mount Holyoke, Bryn Mawr, Wellesley]. You must really value your education. So, do you like to kiss girls? Things must get pretty crazy when you all [run...

Everything Old is New Again Kissing and telling and kissing some more I’m pretty sure that this may be me in a few decades if I accept my fate as Crazy Cat Lady (CCL). But there is hope! As of this weekend it turns out that being a complete psycho in the attraction department can pay off royally. If at first you don’t succeed and all that, right? I hate to kiss and tell, but I suppose...

Because the Fastest Way to a Man’s Heart is Through His Chest Let’s just get this out of the way: I lose all sanity when it comes to romantic situations. Mindless hookups? I’m totally there. Playing it at parties? I couldn’t be more suave. Actual, meaningful attraction? You would be WELL ADVISED to keep a safe distance. Thursday night I was rudely reminded of why I...

Somehow This Turned Out to Be All About Butts and Broken Hearts Forgive me, please Disclaimer: the following is simultaneously disgusting, heart warming and sad, depending on your emotional state and what you’ve eaten in the past few hours. PB contacted me a few days ago, sending me into a “wow, I had just gotten used to pretending you didn’t happen why am I suddenly...

Wonder What I Do In My Offline Time? I create interactive projects like this. It’s formatted for both PC and Mac, so we can all live in harmony. If you’ve ever wanted to know what the rotting corpse of a long-term relationship looks like, check it out.

Cryptic Emails from Abroad This message just found its way to my inbox: I have succumb to the depths of tanning booths. I’m totally addicted. If you tell anyone I’ll kill you. I won’t name any names, of course, but let me just say that I hope my dearest Czech darling comes back to the states a lovely golden brown.

Seven Things You Might Not Know About Me Because we haven’t had a list in awhile, have we? 1. As a wee thing, I was unhealthily obsessed with Charleton Heston, and watched The Ten Commandments ad nauseam. Interesting tidbit: it’s rumored that a young Fidel Castro appears as an extra in TTC, much to the dismay of my beloved Heston, I’m sure. 2. I do not know the eight times tables...

Because Saturday Night is Date Night This weekend I went on a date. Now that I have actually been on a real date, I realize that I was previously using the term incorrectly. You see, I once thought “date” meant spending time with someone, anyone really, consuming some sort of alcoholic beverage paid for by me, entering an enclosed space, and getting it on. Now I understand that...

Ain’t No Potty Like an East Coast Potty ‘Cause an East Coast potty don’t stop I posted previously on the sheer creep-factor of Neilson library at night. One of the more comical features of the library are its bathrooms. The designers must have been riding high on a safe sex cloud (which I believe is technically referred to as Cloud 8, just below the reckless fun that takes place...
