When I first started this blog I never wanted to be a poster child for non-monogamy. Sure, I’ve enjoyed what limited “fame” I’ve achieved (if you can call it that), but I don’t aspire to be the go to person when the media needs someone to talk to.

A simple Facebook status conversation has inspired me to write this post because my brain is now buzzing with thoughts on how the media talks about fat people. It was innocent enough.

Odds are there is someone in your life who is spending their evenings slaying Dragons and amassing treasure in the most played game of 2011, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Well, it turns out I totally do. And not just on the amazingly dreamy Alex O’Loughlin from Hawaii 5.0, although he is still in the running for top daydream fodder spot in my brain by the way.
 Um, hi ... have you seen this man?? Nom nom nom. Actually, my crush is a guy I met on okC, though have not met in person yet. (Save that for next week.)

And as much as I . . . → Read More: Realization: My own practical demons I have a personal rule that I try to follow as much as possible. I don’t like to blog when I’m angry or emotional.

Manny . . . → Read More: Pwning, Part II Over the past few years as Steph and I have gone through different dating situations, we have always discussed the pipe dream of living with those we’re fucking.
