Well, that bloody sucks.

Posted by: Lily on: September 29, 2008

So.
My one roomie is in her bedroom here with her bf, my other roomie just left to go spend the night at her bf’s and the cute British guy I’ve been happily shagging every Saturday night for the last month-ish just (as in about 2 hours ago) called the benefits off of the friends-with-benefits thing, [...]

BBQs and Uptown Bars

Posted by: Lily on: September 23, 2008

Saturday night, post-bog adventure, it was time to let a little looser. Zack and I met up at Mikey’s downtown apartment before heading out to a nearby ‘burb for a BBQ. My sister and her bf hosted an “End of the Summer” kind of shindig, so my new friends and I showed up [...]

Facebook, You are the Worst Dating Service

Posted by: Lily on: September 18, 2008

Dear Facebook,
You’re quite aware of how much I utilize the people-finding, friend-stalking, time-killing service you provide. However, we really need to figure out this contextual ad thing.
Sincerely,
~ Your Friend and Faithful Addict
We’re all familiar with contextually targeted ads in the social networking world. Gmail’s – for the most part – can be somewhat accurate. MySpace [...]

Friday Night Date Night

Posted by: Lily on: September 13, 2008

The workweek ended the right way – 5pm, upstairs in my favorite Account Sup’s office, drinking beers, venting, and girl-talking. The perfect last-hour-in-the-office-on-Friday way to get out of there. I love having a couple of real friends at work. I can safely say I have three solid ones. Two great gals [...]

Being Single Sometimes Rocks – Part 2

Posted by: Lily on: September 3, 2008

The second half of this story is a bit more interesting than the first.
Ok, so Friday night was the Fair date guy. Then on Saturday, I met a new guy. Someone who I think might have a little bit of staying power – at the least, for a little while.
I’ve been planning all [...]

Being Single Sometimes Rocks – Part 1

Posted by: Lily on: September 2, 2008

So, when it rains it pours!  This summer has been a total dry spell (except the sudamericano), but I play the hand I’m dealt.  And this weekend – I had aces.
This first story is about a guy I’ve developed a bit of a crush on after meeting him a couple of different times at industry [...]

The Number

Posted by: Lily on: August 29, 2008

Ok, the second part.
I’m hanging out with my good friend [and full disclosure - exbf] Paul.  Paul and I are talking about that super annoying conversation that SOMETIMES comes up when you start getting serious about someone new.  The conversation about the number.  Your number.  What an AWKWARD conversation, and honestly, one that I believe [...]

The Rules of the Game

Posted by: Lily on: August 29, 2008

Well.  As long as we’re talking about dating, I have two things to discuss.
Here’s the first.  I’m curious about the whole etiquette, game, etc., of the whole thing.  I went out with that guy a few weeks ago.  I asked him.  He paid.  Conversation = good and there was a hug.  End of story.  So [...]

Professional Girlfriends

Posted by: Lily on: August 29, 2008

Ok, today I had probably THE most fun rep lunch I have ever had in the history of having lunches with sales reps.  Fantabulously awesome co-worker Lindsay and I met our reps from Meredith Interactive (the online partners and publishers of Better Homes & Gardens, Ladies Home Journal, More magazine, etc.) for lunch at Zelo.

Things I Want

Posted by: Lily on: March 20, 2008

a porch co-sitter, a new bar hopper, a fellow fan of cooking, a travel buddy, a walk-around-the-block-er, a spontaneous weekender, a random cool-music-and-stuff-finder, an adventurer, a baseball fan, a beer drinker, a wine appreciater, an up-for-all-kinds-of-randomness-er, a pea to my pod.
