It’s really better to write about these events as soon after they occur as possible. As time passes, the details fade and my interest in sharing the stories diminishes. Let’s see how this turns out. As a refresher (or familiarizer) on this character, read Mr. Giggles Part I and Mr. Giggles Part II. […]

Mr. Giggles Part I
For those who are avid readers of my blog, you are aware that it hasn’t been raining men lately. My two month specimen drought was recently broken. There was one minor problem, though: I’m convinced the guy is gay. The last date I had been on was March 3 with Mr. Lambo (I didn’t […]
Mr. Lambo: The Relapse
Ten days after we’d parted ways, I relapsed (Feb. 26). It was a week after Brandon Singer had abruptly ditched his wedding date duties. I was lying in bed and felt the sudden urge to call Mr. Lambo. So I did. He answered. We spoke for about an hour and then resumed our routine of […]

Worst Date Ever Month
There are all sorts of themed months. “Black History Month.” “March Madness.” “Whateverf Else Month.” Okay, I made that last one up. And, I’m about to make up another one. I am officially declaring April, “Worst Date Ever Month.” It’s fitting because the first day of that month is “April Fool’s Day.” Accordingly, please share […]
I Hate Brandon Singer Part II
Not much has changed since “I Hate Brandon Singer Part I,” except that he has defriended me on facebook.

I Hate Brandon Singer Part I
