March 23, 2019. I had to work our spring Open House that day and The Hobbit and I had plans to go bowling with Cheese and her hubby, Obes, later that night. It was always a good time with my homegirl. I fucking love bowling. The day on campus was whatever; a constant stream of […]

The Slave…Part 2
December 2018. I need to go backwards a few months as my timeline was skewed and I almost completely missed adding this entry. Communication between The Slave and I, at this point, had boiled down to him messaging me once every few weeks, offering to do things for me. I couldn’t be bothered. It was […]
The Hobbit…Part 2
January 30, 2019. I still wasn’t sure about this guy. It wasn’t anything to do with him, but everything to do with me. I couldn’t admit to myself that I should end things. I convinced myself to continue to get to know him. He was sweet. Red Flag. We went for wings at my favourite […]
The Hobbit…Part 1
Saturday, January 19, 2019. Communication between The Musician and I had completely stopped by this point (his girlfriend was back); but Vic and I were still attending his birthday party at Petty the following evening. I got Raptor tickets from my cousin Eric last minute. I decided to take Vic since we always have good […]
The Musician…Part 1
Friday, December 28, 2018. It was three days after Christmas. I was single and not met anyone (nor was I intending to) since the second break up with Big Country two months prior. Big Country even had the fucking audacity to phone/text me once in a blue moon and I stopped responding. I was done; […]
Big Country…Part 6
August 2018. It was one of the last weekends of summer. I was nervous about hanging out with Big Country for the first time in over 6 months AND his parents. I hadn’t seen them since Christmas. When I got to his parent’s place, he was already there. I was shocked when I saw him. […]
The Slave…Part I
March 2018. We got together for our monthly wine night with Vic, Paddington, Ry and Shers. Once the general conversations began and the wine started flowing, Shers mentioned that she had a man in mind for me. She met someone who she thought would be compatible with me. She wanted to help me get over […]
Big Country…Part 3
July 2017. I left for San Diego to see my cousin Kunk mid-month. The Welder and I spent a few days together a week before I left. We went through the motions; sat by the fire, cooked dinner, watched TV, etc. I think I stayed one day too long. It’s like he had a threshold […]
Big Country…Part 2
February 2017. Big Country and I were getting along swimmingly. We spent many evenings cooking dinner together, watching hockey and sitting around his outdoor fire pit drinking, shooting the shit. He seemed like he was genuinely into me. I was liking him more and more despite the obvious fact that he didn’t want a relationship. […]
The Dateless Spring & Summer…
April to September 2016. I vividly remember being ready to be single. Had I not been so disappointed over the last two years, maybe I wouldn’t have been so pessimistic about dating. The whole “take time for yourself and be comfortable being alone” was resonating with me. I had not taken any time to myself. […]
