Thanks for nothing, Samantha Jones (round two)

Maybe it was because I spent the afternoon lost in Costco in search of wheelbarrows of Tofu for $10, having only pickles the size of my leg for sustenance. Or, it could be because I came home to find the power cord for my Macbook smoking (not Marlboro Light smoking, but oh-my-god-how-have-I-gone-so-long-without-apartment-insurance smoking). Who knows, it might just have been repressed rage from people assuming that I have a list of sexual partners longer than my résumé (FAR too lazy)

No matter what, I jumped to some conclusions and now my first ever “blog bitch-out” is a distant memory, handled in a way that was truly Canadian where we both basically half-assed our way through starting with my apology-laced rant, and her apology-laced “Are you seriously upset about this? Get a life…”. This is lucky for me because I really didn’t have the time to take the Photoshop course to learn how to make the perfect pictures of her eating babies.

So, in a show of moving onward, can I pick another fight with Sex and the City? Just let me say how annoying it is as both a public relations professional AND a freelance writer when people assume that you live the life of Samantha and Carrie? I mean, do you really think I went through four years of school to stand at the door of a club and tell people they’re not on the list? And if you think I wear anything more the pajamas with holes in them when I’m working on a contract from home, you are absolutely kidding yourself…

Although, I can’t imagine I have it any worse than REAL CSI people. You know, the ones who don’t carry guns, wear high heels, and do everything from sweeping the scene, to genetic testing, to interrogating the witness, to running in slow motion…

“Consider faking a seizure to end the night prematurely.” That line is hilarious.

Well who wouldn’t want to go on a date with Dolce?!?! And lets face it we have all had to deal with a date that throws up.

This is one of my favorites in the Dream Date series. Of course I am partial because I like Dolce and her rack.

If you burn a copy of Twilight for viewing, I think you’re in there with every woman that reads your blog :)

I’m jealous you had a “date” with Docle. I just read her blog and apparently she has a self-described nice rack. Not that either of us would be interested, but I just have to see, you know?

Ben saves the date yet again, you clever cad.

(What’s a cad? I have no idea but it seemed to fit there)

Fix clubbing shirt which is just a touch tighter, just a touch louder than a regular day shirt. And a touch more modelesque? ;)

(OK, goal accomplished– I’ll stop now!)

MMMmmm, cuddling post-Edward moment?? NICE! :)

Twilight would be lost on me… but we wouldn’t have to go there because rum + Lady GaGa + Ben = perfectly content MsDarkstar!

Way to go on salvaging the date, Ben! You’ve got skillz!

Twilight mentions would make our date end. Just so you know.

Jamie April 26, 2010 at 4:31 pm

Edward makes all things better. It’s practically a proven fact.

Everyone else’s dream date goes longer than 14 minutes.

I’m starting to think I got ripped off.

Lizzie April 26, 2010 at 4:31 pm

Tequila and Edward Cullen are what make the world go round. And you would have had me at Lady Gaga.

Edward is the only other thing aside from alcohol that can bring us bloggers together. Well and blogging.

Dolce April 26, 2010 at 4:31 pm

Ben,

Thank you for giving me the best sober date of my life. It’s an comforting feeling waking up the next morning and not having to ask myself what the hell happened.

All the more better because your blog cred is still intact.

The blogger dream date and the “happy moment” was amazing.

Mel April 26, 2010 at 4:31 pm

It’s tough to have a first date without the alcohol…

Dolce reads twilight too? Dolce?

I fell asleep reading ‘Eclipse’ last night and had weird Jasper dreams.

Not sex dreams, though. :(

Maxie April 26, 2010 at 4:31 pm

I don’t go on dates without booze… but I’d make an exception for Dolce– I’m sure she’d still be hilarious :-)

Essentially Me April 26, 2010 at 4:31 pm

When in doubt, mention Edward Cullen. Smart boy.
