SelfAbsorbed.ME : ‘It’s Your Life, We Just Write it Funnier’

Resolutions I Don’t Intend to Keep

Oh, hello there! Welcome back from the holidays, a time of utter madness, wasteful spending, and failed attempts at productivity. Also, cookies. So New Year’s 2009/10 has come and gone, and in my personal tradition, I didn’t make any resolutions. Is it because I simply didn’t think about it in advance, and didn’t plan? Is it [...]

Money Talk & My Top Ten Ways to Save

It’s always disheartening to go to BankofAmerica.com and be informed that December ate your life savings. All those Christmas gifts to others (and myself), and vacations (because you have vacation time, you have to use it) seriously cut into whatever money you were stockpiling. Also, New Year’s resolutions, which seem like innocent, positive things are actually [...]

New Year, Same Old Sushi

Monday Morning: After a week and a half of vacation, I return to the office and the dear old paid internship. Rising at 6:45 had been particularly difficult as I’d grown accustomed to routinely sleeping well past 10:00 a.m. Also, I hadn’t bothered to turn on the light while dressing, and now I realize that [...]

Miami New Year’s Recap

Those of you who want to read about my enlightening New Year’s Eve dinner in which I saw both God and TI on the same night, can do so here. Next, we went to the Gansevoort, where a $300 ticket will get you a premium shelf open bar, a theoretical view of fireworks, and witness to [...]

Lobster Banana

I’ll fess up to it. The glittering ‘FABulousness’ of Miami isn’t really what I wanted to do for New Year’s. I’m apparently going through something my friends now call “my hippie phase” which in short means I no longer dress like I’m going to diva-walk down a high fashion runway when I go out (probably [...]

Top Ten Relationships Better Left in 2008

1. Any kind of MP3 player that is not an Apple. 2. That guy you run into with a puzzled look on your face, (because you still can’t remember how or why you met) who you enjoy calling while wasted post 3 am. Delete that number. 3. [...]

Don’t Let NYC NYE Rip You Off!

I’m sitting across from a friend of mine who works in nightlife and my brain feels like it’s going into cardiac arrest when he begins telling me about the New York club’s New Year’s Eve system. His speech goes something like this: “Promoters and the companies they work for have to buy out an entire venue [...]

Top Ten Reasons to Bring in the New Year with Your Best Friend Instead of Your Significant Other

Freaking out about New Year’s vacation plans yet? Begin. It’s December 3rd. I started panicking awhile ago, yet still haven’t accomplished anything. My inability to achieve a stable relationship over the summer means I’ll be welcoming the New Year with my best friend instead of a boyfriend. Don’t worry, I’m excited about it. Below are my top [...]

Interview & New Years, Already

Last week, I got in a healthy debate with one of my friends about if nightlife was a worthless whirlwind of debauchery or a powerful networking tool. I argued that anyone you met in a club was probably sleazy and untrustworthy. Only regrettable activities resulted from frolicking around New York at night. She argued that [...]

I Hate Cupid

Not so long ago, I wrote about New Year’s as a holiday that provokes relationship angst and triggers nasty inebriated break-ups. If you and your significant other actually managed to blissfully unite under a disco ball and welcome in 2008 with joy, you’re about to be put through an even more arduous test – the [...]
