My recent foray into the world of online dating was both brief and excellent. It all started back in September, when, in an attempt to make my life more interesting and, as my friend Mike put it, “find a nice guy and have a life experience,” I created a profile on okcupid.com.

Several weeks ago, my roommates and I set out to get a Christmas tree. After a week of failed scheduling attempts (we’re so very busy and important) two of us went to a little tree farm in Wedgwood. (Who knew there was a tree farm in Wedgwood?!) Well, it turns out, it’s more of a […]

On Friday night I went to the ballet for the first time! Six girls went together because people 25 and younger can get tickets for 90% off an hour before the show. We saw Cinderella for 4 pesos, and we were on the lowest balcony, so that’s a pretty good deal. It’s only 1 peso […]
