I was just talking to JanelltheGreat, who was expressing her profound dislike of talking to her potential dates via telephone. Apparently, she’s like the anti-stereotype of the girl who waits by the phone. While some girls nailbitingly pace a trench into the rug while staring at their shiny little, new-age portable communication device; she’s sitting […]

Okay sorry for being a no-talent hack when it comes to awesome ideas for a post. At least, today. I simply have to link to this, in lieu of plagarism, because it is just too dang good. (Though, I have to refute what is said about Communications majors, as long as we’re talking about select […]

This is my profound thought of the day: Platonic friends are like cheap cheeses: If you take them out, they might grow into something else. Something more. But, this “something more” might not be something you actually want at all, but a gross and inexplicably fuzzy mutated version of a cheese you once enjoyed. So. […]

(Note: I wrote this about two years ago, when I was still neck deep in the dating scene and writing for a dating advice blog called the Doorstep Scene. While it may be hyperbolic, it does still smack a bit of truth in the face.) Girls, we all know that there are millions of guys […]

It’s 2:00am. I’m at the gym, and I think “Hey… the Wizard of Oz is playing in the Cardio Cinema. I haven’t seen that in like, ten years!” So I go in. Alllll by myself. It’s dark, it’s secluded, and I’m running at a pace of 5.6 when suddenly… the scene where they go into […]

This is my life. I am sitting on the couch in my living room, next to my husband of two and a half months. We (or, okay… I) am watching Jane Eyre on our huge television that doesn’t technically belong to us but just TRY taking it away from me when the time comes. Aaanyway this […]

Ah…laziness. Another unfortunate side effect of engagement. There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the […]

Everyone has baggage when it comes to relationships. Some of it is emotional (like because of a bad breakup, they can’t seem to trust people not to hurt them eventually, or they never show someone their weaknesses until years into a relationship). Others, maybe children of a divorce, might have trouble believing in lasting and […]

Okay, let’s give a shout out to the universal DRT conversation. “Define the Relationship”, those times we either dread having, dread inititating, or dread…avoiding. We’ve all had them. And, like it or not, they are at least partially responsible for the advancement of most relationships. But how to know if what you’re having is indeed […]

I am writing this post from my bathtub. This has been a dream of mine for some time. That is all.

How to avoid terror at the infamous Doorstep Scene: Now, if you’ve been paying attention so far, there’s no reason for you to freak out. By this point in the date, you should already know how she feels about you, how comfortable she is with you, and whether or not she wants you to touch […]

I wish I could tell you each and every example of the dozens of dates I’ve been on where I not only felt completely detached from the subject of the date, but eventually wanted to escape. This is because the guy was either A) completely obsessed with doing everything correctly, and paying SO much attention […]

Today, my friend Devon asked my advice about how to escape a girl dilemma. Again. “So, how does a guy go about letting a girl know he’s interested in a second date, aside from actually saying ‘Let’s go out again soon.’?” He wondered. A valid question, although I had to squirm a little because his […]

Have been in Vail for about a week. No time to blog further. Need…collegiate…companionship. Also, am turning 20 in two days. Wohooo! Love you all! Verocious in Vail

I’m sure everyone has heard the timeless adage about the implications of what it means to assume. So I’m not going to repeat it. But I am going to attempt to refute the universal nature of this credo, as I have in my life come to experience many situations that require assumption in order to survive, if […]

Here’s my analogy for today’s dating problem: Let’s say that you’ve gone for a really long while without eating cake. But that’s not because you don’t love cake and want cake, but you just haven’t had access to cake in a really long time and maybe there’s other cake but you just haven’t seen any that […]

Okay, so this is a game that I presume Robbie made up. Basically, you Google your name and “needs” in quotes, and copy and paste the first 20 results. Mine were funny, and a little scary at times. For some reason mostly about TV shows and orphans… Veronica needs a diary! Veronica needs to do […]

HEY!!! This is the first time I have blogged in forever. Mostly because my compy stopped working, and I had to overhaul it again. Also, life has been pretty crazy lately. Ever since we got back from Colorado, and I was faced with the rather formidable task of archiving our awesome adventures, I have found this […]

Today I’m going to lunch with my uncles and grandparents, the latter of which are in town only for the week. Thankfully. Sink me! (Or shoot me, whichever you prefer.) It’s not that I don’t love my family. I do. I have just come to grips with the fact that they are all insane. And […]

Tonight was alternately super slow and super stressful. Why stressful, you ask, if it was so slow??? Well, for starters, I started out with a party of twelve, and while I didn’t really mess anything up per se, it began to seem as if no matter what I did, the table would never be content. […]
