the background.

november 28, 2009.
the life that i had been building came crashing to a halt, when a catalyst of diamond earrings, bad weather, and birthday celebrations gone awry ended the relationship i had spent the better part of two years in. not here to lay blame, all i will say on the matter was that it destroyed me for a good solid month. we're talking tears at random moments, nausea when it came time to look at him or talk to him, and finally a peaceful calm when the last of his stuff was removed from my house.

anyone who has loved someone fiercely can attest to the introspection that occurs after the love has faded. questions of self worth and what went wrong swirl through your head at an almost dizzying pace. in the end, though, you pick yourself up and dust yourself off and realize that the only person who can ever judge you is you.

i signed on to online dating (plentyoffish in particular) when i was semi-ready to get back on the horse. now, online dating is something i've tried before and had some successes with. people always say that it's better to meet friends of friends, but most of my lovely friends are in committed serious relationships and tend to hang out with other couples in committed serious relationships. threesomes, while kinky, are really not condusive to good dates for the most part! so, off i went into the world of online dating.

this blog will henceforth be my accounts of said online dating adventures, because honestly, there have been some doozies.
