The Un-Turkey Drop
Ed. Note: today’s post was fully inspired by what I found in my Facebook News Feed thanks to The Atlantic (which granted, is probably where I get way too much of my news these days. But I’m expanding to the Pop Culture Happy Hour – promise). For Thanksgiving Break my senior year of college, I […]

Flirtation and Pick-ups
Last week, I was in attendance for two pick-ups. I mean, at the time I wasn’t clear they were pick-ups, but reflection tells me they probably were. I am famous for not knowing when I’m being hit on. Incidentally, it’s a trait I inherited from my mom, who recently told me the tale of how, […]

Lion-Hearted, Take 2!

“I’ll Miss You,” and Other Lies We Tell People

However, her move sparked a conversation between friends at a midweek hangout session, which in turn sparked a sociological thought in me about dating, relationships and love. Beth has a young son, E, who our friend is very close […]

“To die would be an awfully big adventure.” – JM Barrie
Thoughts of adventure have been in the air lately. Maybe it’s that the cosmos have aligned and everyone I know is having restless dreams, unable to stay asleep but unable to pull themselves from bizarre moments that leave them with shivers. Maybe it’s the turning of the seasons, a crazy switch from summer into autumn, […]

Looking for Adventure
Lately, I’ve had a hard time remembering that adventure is everywhere. This is probably due to the fact that as September 17, 2013 wandered by, I found it near impossible not to remember where I was one year prior: putting on a brave face while Megs and Noah packed Huckleberry Fit, while my parents supervised, […]

A Quick Dating Story
I never officially announced this, but since wrapping up production on 50/50 (aka, the majority of the filming, aka, I went on over 50 first dates) I have taken a full time job as a writer for a tech company. Which means I now have access to over a hundred coworkers and their dating tales […]
