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

Life according to plan

I know this may come to a shock to some of you (those  who don’t have the good fortune of knowing me intimately), but I am a just a tad neurotic. Well, that may be a bit of understatement. I’m actually pretty neurotic, bordering on full-blown OCD. But it’s really not as bad as it [...]

Love on the Brain

I’m lucky enough to study with a famous yoga teacher in New York. She’s written several books, studied in India for decades, is considered a spiritual leader in this school of yoga and wears the traditional jewels and flowing gowns, the whole nine-yards. Being in her presence is a huge privilege. Even when she’s [...]

Why He Didn’t Call You Back

We got a friendly shout out from The Social Man today and I wanted to share this video they created about why a guy might not call you back after a date. I also happened to like the soundtrack. Check it out: My synopsis of what they covered: 1. If you like him, touch him (on the [...]

Touch Me; Because I Need To Be Touched Damnit

Some of my fondest memories of being a child, are being cuddled. My mom has this need to be close to her children at all times… and as much as my brother and I resisted, pretending to squirm and sliver away from her… deep down it was my favorite part about being a kid. My mom [...]

He’s Just Not That Into You

Today I went to the movies with my (straight, believe it or not) best guy friend and we saw “He’s Just Not That Into You.” Despite the cheesy endings, overall, I really liked the movie. We had some great laughs at Ginnifer Goodwin’s expense as her cute, but unlucky in love, character broke all the [...]

Men: Insane?

Now I know a lot of my male readers aren’t going to like the title of this post, but there’s something 100% whacky going on. I don’t know if it’s the recession, the month of February, mid-winter illness or Valentine’s Day, but it seems the males my friends and I know are ‘invaded-by-pod-people’-level off their [...]

“Faking It” to Your Advantage

So by now you’ve probably all surmised that I’m a bit of a basketcase. In fact, you’re probably wondering how I manage to hold down a job, a boyfriend and care for two adorable cats. Well, I’ll tell you all my secret for making it appear like I am keeping it all together, with a [...]

Saturday V-Day

Valentine’s Day is falling on a Saturday. Ick. All of us using the traditional excuse of ‘oh, I have to watch the new CSI and get to bed early Wednesday and am therefore not celebrating’ cannot cite a weekday inconvenience this year. If Valentine’s Day is an ugly poster on the wall of your life reminding you [...]

Valentine’s Day Dos and Don’ts

I think calendar companies across the United States should get together and officially change the name of Valentine’s Day to “Girlfriend/Wife Appreciation Day,” or “PMS Forgiveness Day,” because let’s not kid ourselves, this day is not about men.  I’m not sure if it was obvious from all the pink hearts and lovey ladybugs and diamond [...]

What’s the Glue? (Metro Part 2)

Earlier this week I posted about my inability to be attracted to metrosexual guys. My writing unexpectedly climaxed in a large question: Is it the ‘we have stuff in common’ friendship or the primitive ‘opposites attract’ sexual tension that keeps couples together? Which is truly the glue? The physical or the intellectual? Both involve a complex bundle of [...]
