As it seems that this is not obvious to everyone, whenever something is written in italics and it is not dialogue or a quote, it means it's fiction. I write because I love writing.If I could choose, I wouldn't feel this way.I wouldn't think the world of you.I wouldn't have the urge to grab your hand.I wouldn't want to lie my head in your lap.I wouldn't secretly enjoy 'Goodbyes' because they came

When I met him, I knew.He had a way of filling the cracks and crevices in my heart; I didn't even know they were there until they were empty once more. In my mind, I paint pictures of him in colors that don't exist, I hear him in melodies that have yet to be written. I remember the way he looked at me - with intensity and fire in his eyes. He stripped away the steel barriers with a melting gaze

"You're young and high maintenance."By most standards, I'm neither of these. Perhaps relatively speaking, I could be both.I will first start with the age issue because that is more clearly defined. I'm heading for "late twenties." I wouldn't call that young. If you're older than me, that makes me younger than you.Now on to the main point. What exactly does it mean to be high maintenance?

Have you ever been on a date that actually turned out to be a non-date or vice versa? More and more frequently these days, I have received several perplexed communications (from both men and women) wondering if they're about to go on a date or if it's "just a friend" thing. I have also fallen victim to this confusion on more than one occasion. What is the tell-tale sign that one is on a date?I

There's something about you that makes people really like you. You're magnetic.About a year ago, a friend said something similar to me. At the time, I thought he was just saying it to be nice. I've always considered myself to be rather shy, slightly introverted, and somewhat of a wallflower. I do well in one-on-one or small gathering situations, but thrown into a larger group or party and I tend

I have always felt that I lead an extremely fortunate and lucky life. I am exceptionally privileged to be surrounded by incredibly talented, intellectual, hard working, and fascinating people. The likes of which these people are capable of never ceases to astound me. While I am endlessly impressed and inspired by these people, I constantly find myself lacking and utterly failing to live up to

I have no business looking at engagement rings, but I came across this wedding set by Kirk Kara and I fell in love.

I had a conversation over dinner last night that kept me awake, tossing and turning. When I got back to my apartment, my whole being felt agitated and uneasy. It must have been obvious because my roommate suggested going to Yogurtland to unwind. I could have used a glass or two... or hell, a whole bottle... of wine, but I suppose yogurt works just as well.The topic of this stimulating

Addressing my new blog theme - a couple of years ago, my best friend, Stacey, sent me a story that I took to heart in a deep and profound way. It's a story I carry with me to this very day. It has helped me through many difficult situations and struggles in the last couple of years. A few months ago, my very good friend (who I've known and loved since middle school), Cindy, designed a

I'm beginning to believe that every romantic relationship will undoubtedly come to an end. Those that don't become more of a friendship than a romantic relationship.In recent months, I have dated several men that have told me about passionate, wonderful relationships with incredible women that just end up "fizzing out." He didn't change; she didn't change. My take on it is that people get bored.

I would like to know by a show of hands, how many people think sex is important enough in a relationship such that it can be a deal breaker?Forgive me for raising controversy yet again, but I think it's fair to break it off with somebody because of lack of sex or bad sex. It is one of the very few things in life that a person should always be considered above par and enjoy. I was recently called

Last weekend, I went to see Funny People starring Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen. I had heard some lackluster reviews about the movie, but I still felt like I should see it just on the sheer principle that I work in the comedy entertainment industry. I found it to be a fairly accurate description of a comedian's life so I couldn't quite understand why people didn't enjoy this movie. A friend of mine

"...some would accuse you of being too idealistic and a dreamer, but isn't it nice to still think of the grand possibilities, and not yet be jaded or cynical?"I'm an optimist and a romantic.

I'm not sure what it is about me that screams, "PLEASE TALK TO ME ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS AND LOVE!" I suppose my blog background hints at my inner romantic.Over the weekend, I had a long conversation with a guy I've known for many years regarding the necessity (or lack thereof) of relationships to live a happy, meaningful life. It all started when he posed the following questions, "What's going on

I was at the grocery store the other day picking up essentials like ground turkey and Nutella (not to be used together, of course).

Last night, I went to a guy's place to make pizza (from scratch), open up a bottle of wine, watch a movie, and enjoy each other's company. Objectively speaking, it was a date and quite a romantic one at that. What I failed to mention was that the guy happens to be my intern at work and I see him more as a little kid brother than anything else. To top it off, I invited along one of the girls in

Le Love never fails to touch and inspire me. A few days ago, I came across this:While you are sleeping, you are in your most vulnerable state. To fall asleep with somebody is a sign of trust, a demonstration of intimacy, if you will. To be held, to feel secure, and to know that there is mutual trust, that is what makes it so beautiful to share a bed with somebody.It is my belief, however, that

3 days after writing my post about Zachary Quinto and who do I see as I'm walking out of my gym? Of course, it's Zachary Quinto! And of course, as my luck would have it, I am sweaty and not in any sort of good form to approach him and tell him how great I think he is. Even if I knew what to say or looked semi-decent, I couldn't get my mouth to form any words. I think it was the most retarded

My streak continues in finding sexiness and allure in the most incredibly talented men in the world. Quinto's character, Sylar, in NBC's hit TV show, Heroes, intrigued me. His portrayal of the legendary character, Spock, in the critically acclaimed and well-received Star Trek movie (directed by

As an addendum to my last entry about body image, I recently discovered that my favorite Victoria's Secret model, Alessandra Ambrosio, is 5'10" and 112 pounds. That seems crazy to me. I'm 5'4" and I aim for 115 pounds. But here she is in yet another bathing suit that I own. Damn, she looks good.What I do realize, though, is that in photos that haven't been touched up, she looks way too skinny.

Because I'm on this proactive journey to lose weight and get in better shape, I felt it was appropriate to have a discussion about body image.As a female living in society as we know it, I, like the many other women I know, am obsessed with what is considered to be beautiful, desirable, sexy.

Yesterday, I was told by my mother that at 25, I am too old to be out late every night having fun. It is time that I settle down and find a "reliable man" to share my life with; it is time that I stop chasing "cute boys" because I am too old to be playing those games.

We got our dog! We named her Tari, which is short for Nefertari, the Egyptian queen of Ramses II. He called her "the most beautiful" and "the one for whom the sun shines." =D Tari is so adorable! The name fits well.

Our new apartment is finally ready! I'm so happy we can get a dog! I really want to adopt the one pictured above. She's currently being cared for by a no-kill shelter organization, AHAN. Her name is Pretty, which we would like to change if she isn't already too attached to it. If we can't get her, I suppose we would have to go to other shelters to find another dog. We'd prefer to rescue an animal

I spent the weekend in Vegas celebrating Breynan's birthday. We were supposed to get in on Thursday, as it was a Thursday-Saturday event. We ended up getting there on Friday, so we missed Ghostbar on Thursday. On Friday, we went to Pure at Caesar's Palace, the "new" hottest nightclub in Vegas. We had a VIP table, but they put us on the top floor, which was actually outdoors. Cold! On Saturday

I interviewed with Barclays Global Investors today. I had a behavioral phone interview yesterday and a technical phone interview today. When I had applied for the position, I was asked to fill out a questionnaire about where I would rank certain computer skills. The choices included "no experience," "beginner," "intermediate," and "advanced." Most of the skills, I had selected "beginner" or "

I stole this from the American Idol site (it's funny)!'Anthony raves about the positive fortune cookies he’s been receiving, believing they’re a sign of positive fate. I know he’s young and all, but does he think negative fortune cookies exist? “You are a miserable person. Babies hate you instinctively. Lucky numbers: None for you.”'And then you do the fortune cookie game: "You are a miserable

I went clubbing in San Francisco last Friday. There are some sleazy guys out there: ----- Random guy: What do you want to do when you grow up? Me: Uhhh... I am grown up. Random guy: [Looks me up and down] Girl, you all kinds of grown up. Me: Uhhh... ew. [Walk away] ----- So I was listening to the lyrics to "Where My Girls At?" (old song, I know) and I was thinking about why you'd be pissed off at

Over winter break at Brian's house ----- James (Brian's stepdad): Tammy, do you want some salad with that steak? Me: Yeah, I do. (Walk over to the salad bowl in the kitchen) I'd like something non-brown on my plate; it just looks healthier. Breynan (Brian's brother): Yeah, I'm like you. I like to have non-brown things on my plate, also. Me: Haha. I like a little color in my life. Breynan: Haha.
