In Search of a Sugar Daddy

Listen, I’m a simple girl with simple needs.  As long as I can scour my local Salvation Army for ill-fitting ethnic print dresses and eat a burrito at least once a week, I am pretty much satisfied.  But lately, times have gotten tough.  This girl is horribly underemployed, and my–

Drunk Texting Dos & Don’ts

My Best (Worst) Get-Rich-Quick Ideas

You see, I’m what they call a “creative genius.”  I have a brain so out-of-control, half the time I can’t even make sense of the shit I come up with.  All I know is that I am constantly sprouting figurative light bulbs out the top of my dome, having what

Getting Stood Up at a Taco Truck

In honor of the upcoming Valentine’s Day, let’s talk about love.  The happiness, the longing gazes, the tender moments shared.  And sometimes: the drama, the emotional rollercoaster ride, the letdowns.  Almost everyone has been in an intense relationship with someone who is Simply Not Good For Them, including myself.  Except,
