The Older I Get The Trashier I Become
As we get more comfortable with who we are as adults, it's easier to laugh off our trashy behavior. >>
Theres six of - Jen, Jess, Lori, Lauren, Nicole, and Heinz (her first names Kristin but we call her by her maiden name - yes! shes married. sorry boys!)Most of these girls have known each other since they were pretty young, having gone to school together. Me (Lauren) - I came onto the scene a little later in life. Me and Jen are cousins, thats how I know these lovely ladies, but I feel like Ive known and loved them my whole life! They are great friends, and if you ask me, were a fine looking bunch.
We range in age from 26-28 ,and weve been through our share of mistakes between the six of us. But were still having tons of fun and learning from our experiences. As Nicole likes to say, We get better with age!
We all work helping people in some capacity - weve got a nurse, a paramedic, an art therapist, a teacher, a case manager for the mentally ill, and a surgical tech - were good people!
We like to go to bars, the beach, rock shows...whatevers a good time. We can pretty much make your living room fun if need be. If you wanna know more, ask.
When you're the oldest sibling in a family, you take it upon yourself to pass down words of wisdom to your younger sisters and brothers. The lessons can vary from which college is the right fit, to the best hangover cures, to how to patch up a fig... read more
New York City is a funny place. The summer apartment shuffle recently came to an end, and my friends snapped up new places like the free Chipotle burritos my gym was giving out this evening (ironic, I know). Like everything else in this city, leas... read more
Once in awhile, I'll get hair A.D.D. I'll want to change the color, try a new style or simply cut it off. But typically I stick with my basic long, blonde hair. Nothing too special about it. Recently I have been tempted to cut it short, but I am c... read more
Recently I was asked for my "philosophy of dating". It took me a while to stop laughing. I mean seriously, a philosophy of dating? That's one of the funniest things I've heard in a while.
But the person persisted and I thought about i... read more
Over Labor Day, I signed up for another dating site's free communication weekend as "Research" This was my first foray into online, one-on-one dating, and quite frankly based on their ads, I expected little more than mock turtlenecks and/or a swea... read more
Ah, first dates. A time for awkward silences or intense lip-locking. Hand-holding or Hell-bound conversations. A connection or a complete disaster. And as we get older, it doesn't seem to get any easier. In fact, it seems to just become more compl... read more
I am moving in with my boyfriend in about a month. We are both very excited. But excitement wasn't the only response for either of us when the idea of moving in together was first on the table, it was more excitement mixed with horrible fear and a... read more
Lately I've kind of been in an asexual rut. No man has grabbed my attention at a bar. Talking to people seems like too much effort. And after spending months trying to figure it out, I finally decided that, quite frankly, I'd rather be home readin... read more
It's bad enough to see a couple on the street making out in the middle of the sidewalk as you're trying to push by with a bulging bag, Starbucks latte, and a tangled mess of Ipod headphones in tow. But now it seems you can't even sign onto Faceboo... read more
My birthday is coming up and I know what that usually means. Feeling relatively lousy about how far I've made it in life (not far) and how at my age, my parents owned houses, had had both their children, had cars, and could afford lunch every sing... read more
