I just haven't met you yet...
I’d like to think of myself as optimistically cynical. Or maybe cynically optimistic on a good day? Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy the idea of romance and love and all that jazz. I like listening to cheesy love songs every now and then. Hell, I’ll even read the “missed connections” section on Craigslist in the hopes maybe I accidentally made creepy eye contact with someone who thought I...

We could have had it all
So what happens when you meet someone you really like… only to realize you keep screwing things up by making the same mistake? At some point, you’re supposed to rectify that and hopefully change for the better. But sometimes, people give in to their urges — even if they know it’s wrong. And so I guess that’s my problem. The way I go about meeting guys and the way I...

Cheers to 2012
Happy 2012! One of my resolutions for the new year is to update my blog. Yes, actually update it so people know I’m still alive. Although I don’t really know what to focus on. I’m not nearly as witty or charming as some of my other friends so we’ll see what happens.
I spent New Year’s in New York City with my friends from college Amanda, Justin, and others (and yes,...

Easy come, easy go...
I thought I was doing such a good job growing up. I have my first real world, big girl job where I work 40 hours a week and get benefits. I have my own little cubicle area at work (which I have yet to decorate despite being here for 4 months already). I am paying back credit card and student loans payments on time. At the very least, it felt like I was doing okay.
Until, I met a guy. And in the...

On the edge of glory
So it’s been a while since I’ve actually updated on anything. The last month has been just a rush, from moving to Framingham to heading to Boston for job interviews to my beloved Boston Bruins winning the Stanley Cup. For once, things seemed to be going really well. And then perhaps I got to share the best news of all a few days ago:
I was expecting disappointment. I was expecting...

Here's to the Past
A lot can change in a year.
It actually became apparent to me on Sunday how different things were a year ago. I was going out from bar to bar in Iowa City meeting up with friends and their family members, taking photos here and shots there. It was truly a celebratory night knowing we had all survived to graduation. Tom Brokaw spoke and Vivian Stringer walked by me — it was my college life...

That awkward moment when you accidently butt dial...
Alex: "Butt dialed twice in a row! Haha nice work Ms. Lau"
Me: "Sorry Alex! Just went to a hockey game and they won ... so that's cool. Apologies Alex!"
Alex: "No problem, I thought it happened twice was worth a shut out txt ... or "big ups" text"
Me: "Haha nice, thanks girl :)"
Alex: "Girl? Who u calling girl? (Different Alex maybe?)"
Me: "Oh wait. Which Alex is this? I actually know 3 Alex Johnson's. Is this 5 names?!"
Alex: "Yes'm it is. Hence the B-Stiles Big Ups reference."
Me: "IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW MR. JOHNSON. I did catch it but thought it was a coincidence. Okay. You will be changed 5 names."
Alex: "I mean shouldn't u just list me as five names?"
Me: "Your name is far more common than you realize sir. I know two girls with it and they are BOTH from Mason City. Weird..."
Alex: "Lol. Nice! I only know of 2 other Alex Johnsons, some doofus frat turd that joined the frat I quit, n and a black baseball player from the 70s. Oh and a Minn hotel."
Me: "Haha, definitely. Sorry but the butt dial once again, bro!"
Alex: "No worries! Good talkxt"
Me: "Definitely."
So yeah that happened. Oops. Good talkxt indeed.
