Trolling For Hook-ups On Pinterest

I'm married and old, so I don't know about these real-world type things, but my guess is: there are quite a few of you out there who are really good at trolling for action online. 

Now, duh: I know all about Grindr, and Youporn, and OK Stupid and the like, but the only place I really like to troll for action is on Pinterest.

WHO GIVES A SHIT: ARE YOU WATCHING DESIGN STAR??

Are you ppl watching HGTV's new season of Design Star or what??

I'm an ep behind, and I'm not doing recaps this year because doing recaps of a TV show on your blog is pretty much worse than Cancer. I'm serious: if you are ever thinking of doing it, DON'T. It will ruin your life (maybe I'll do one every once in awhile though).

Anyway.

This year's cast seems a bit more with it, but the bar is also sort of low so it's hard to tell so far.

REVIEW'D: BLOGFEST 2012

Blogfest 2012 has ended, and as I do after most events I attend, I'm serving up a piping hot plate of review and recap.

For those of you who have never heard of it, Blogfest is a three day event organized by Kravet:

"the second annual New York City design event hosted by Kravet Inc. that brings together editors from top design and lifestyle magazines, great brands and A-list industry designers and celebrities."

Rather than taking you through shit day by day, I'm breaking down my observations into tasty, morsel-y bites.

Some Thoughts on Fifty Shades of Grey

Perhaps this should have been included in my "things I'm afraid to tell you" post: I read all three books in the 50 Shades of Grey series. 

Last week. 

i.e. I was so sucked into this bullshit, I finished all 3 books in less than 7 days. 

These books were SO bad, ppl. Like soooooooo. 

In fact, never have I been more convinced that I myself could easily write a bestseller. Cause if these books are best sellers, I would venture to guess that most eleventh graders who speak English as a first language would be equally qualified to write "best sellers."

Things I'm afraid to tell you

By now I'm sure you guys have seen this "things I'm afraid to tell you" stuff all the hell over the blogosphere. Ez from Creature Comforts was inspired by this post on Makeunder My life and then a whole slew of other bloggers joined in on the fun.

I think "things I'm afraid to tell you" is officially the new "outfit to room" post. 

Anyway. 

Even though I tend to avoid jumping on the ole bandwagon type shit, I actually really dig the idea of this one. And so when my friend Meg from Mimi+Meg wrote asking me to participate in "things I'm afraid to tell you" part deux wave, I was totally down. As a writer, I always like to challenge myself, and the idea of telling you all the stuff that I've paid some shrink $250/hr to sort through with me at various points in my life definitely falls under the category of "stuff that might make me wanna throw up." And, in this case, that's a good thing. 

Herewith is a list of 5 things I'm *actually* afraid to tell you...or really anyone:
