Roxy's Ramblings


When i'm Drunk....

Going out and celebrating the HABS victory last night (YAAAA BABYYY!!!!!!) reminded me that Roxy + drinking can lead to some bad things. Here's a short list of "Roxy-drinking-risks"...
It's entitled:  When I'm Drunk...
  • My phone should be taken away from me, or at least have a “sober test” programmed in!
  • I LOVE Jack ;) although i do love JD sober too...
  • I like to skip!
  • I call all kinds of random people from my phone book (hence the need for the “sober test”!)
  • I love all my friends so much that i sometimes start to cry
  • I slap people
  • ... just because i think it's hilarious...
  • People usually luuurve “Drunk Roxy(unless i'm slapping THEM!)
  • Now that i'm close to 30: I should not mix, or i WILL be sick.
  • I shake my booty like you've never seen a white girl shake it before!
  • I end up on the floor when I've had one too many (ahem... New Year's 2007)
  • I have almost thrown a 3 year old into a bonfire...
  • I have held a wine glass with my toes and had someone drink from it
  • I have had a light-saber fight (and won)
  • I have dislocated my knee, more than once...
  • I have given many lapdances (to some VERY lucky people!)
  • Many times, I have regretted my actions the next morning
  • I have told my ex-mother-in-law that i was going to have her son's children in 4 years from then! (hence the regretting my actions...)
  • My true feelings usually come out
  • And i always always always feel like crap the next morning


    Moral of the story? I need to stop drinking!

HEY it's OK


…to cyber stalk your EX , and not tell your friends about it! (but i swear friends i've never done this!)
…to call your landlord with a problem, like: “my hallway lightbulb needs changing
…to quickly edit your medicine cabinet before people come over.
…to take a night in and read a book instead of going out searching for Mr.Right !
…to dance super sexy for your own reflection!
…to cry when things don't go your way.
…to call your mom to make plans.
…to not know how you'll ever buy a home of your own in this economy...
…but still have faith that one day you WILL
…to eat KD. Often.
…on a tired Friday night, to accidentally tip the chinese delivery guy 8$…on a 12$ meal.

Up Close and Personal :: 2 Dates With The Naked Guy

So, ok two dates to tell you about. Two nights. Same guy: The Naked Guy.
If you missed it: part one of the story here.
So….. date #1…Tuesday
Funny things happen with me ALWAYS, so u guys are probably going to get a good chuckle outta this one. lol
So, it's Tuesday night, we meet for supper, and he's actually pretty normal. He's good looking, tall, health conscious, funny, sarcastic, good conversation, plus he's a internet-dating-virgin so that's cute too! He has two sisters who he clearly loves very much; one who he lives with, so i think that's a good sign. He's a few years younger than me… not sure that'll be an issue, but i'm not basing everything on that at the moment.
So, we laughed the whole supper. There's was barely an awkward moment. I think if was the first "first date" that i didn't have a alcoholic drink with the meal! Good girl Roxy!
So from the restaurant we went to the movies next door. We were early, so we played some arcade games to pass the time. I won at street racing (he didn't know my skills! loll), and then we were in some strange jeep killing giant spiders and bugs together. Some weird games out there today!
Then we saw Shutter Island. WOW great movie. He bought us popcorn and coke :) He knows me well already. It was fun. No awkward moves, no silent moments. Pretty good for a first date i would say!
Then…. we left the movie theater and he realized that he had lost his keys. I totally thought he was kidding because we'd been joking around all night. Come to think of it, that's all we do. But when he sprinted to the door to see if his car was still in the parking lot, i knew he was telling the truth. Luckily he lived only 10 mins away, so his sister came to bail him out with his spare set of keys. Poor guy, i think he was a little embarrassed. We found out the next day that he had left them at the restaurant. Thank god for nice ppl who return your keys instead of stealing your car!!
So… date #2….Wednesday
So, the next day, Wednesday, I felt good about date #1, and we were still texting funny messages to each other. For other completely different reasons, i was having a really sad day, and when my plans fell though for the evening, he invited me over to watch hockey: HABS game4! Wasn't sure if it was too soon or not to go to his place, but i liked his company, so i decided to go.
Now the rest of this might make me sound really mean, but i'm just being honest. And let's pray he never reads this!! HAHAHA
So i get there. Nice house, nice neighborhood. Walk in. And right away i knew that this was his parents home. He said he lived with his sister, but didn't mention that it was the house that they grew up in. The plastic couches in the overly decorated living room gave it away ;)
He lives on the top floor of this town house, great space, despite the childhood teddy bears on the shelves. I felt like i was 16 all over again. The old-style furniture from the 80s, the mess, the dirty carpet… it was all very reminiscent of all my high school boyfriends...
Anyway, i was judging, but i was still open to this working out because i had a great evening the night before. So, we watched hockey, ordered food, went for a drive in his “super bass” Jeep to pick up his keys from the restaurant ;)
Then, he kissed me.
And.
Nothing.
Not even a butterfly.
It was awkward to say the least.
I don't know if it was the vision of the teddy bears on the shelves in the distance, or the fact that he used his teeth a lot while kissing (weird!), or the decor constantly reminding me that he's younger than i am, or him being really insistent at trying to take my pants off (and me having to act like i was 15 and push him off me!) , but either way, I was no longer interested.
I know a lot of people might think i'm being harsh, and to give the guy another chance, but honestly, if u don't feel the sparks (despite me feeling lots towards his god-like arms) then there's no point in dragging things on any further. I don't know what inspired the sudden “turnoff” but it was very certain in my mind that i don't want to see him again.

Now i just have to figure out how to tell him….. THIS is the worst part about dating! Any suggestions?! Help!

Oh and as promised here's the big reveal :: This was his Zoosk picture that started up our whole conversation. He really does have a great body, i'll give him that!!

The Naked Guy

ok so i'm really excited! I have a date with a guy i'm interested in tomorrow night. He's taking me to see the movie Shutter Island, cuz that's what i wanted to see. He's already seen it once, but he said he doesn't mind seeing it a second time: he said he'll have more time to focus on me that way. I don't know if that's creepy or cute, but because i like him, i'll just think of it as cute! lol
 So, you're probably wondering why the title of this post is NAKED GUY. 
I'll explain. I met this guy on Zoosk; he had winked at me and he had a really cute profile picture (a few actually) and then BOOM a random naked picture. I mean, he's wearing boxers, but he's pretty naked in my opinion. HOT though, but naked. Usually i don't give these guys a second look because you assume they're full of themselves, but i felt compelled to write to him. I said that he was cute in his profile pictures; why did he need to post a naked picture of himself?! We could see that he was fit and good looking; he didn't need to sell himself to the devil (the Zoosk devil)! LOL
He wrote me back saying that he was glad he could make me laugh so hard, and we've been chatting ever since.
He's funny, cute, and well, i know he has a good body, so that's always a plus!
We've been talking non-stop since last Thursday night. We're going to dinner and movie tomorrow night. Wish me luck!! xo
P.S. i'm considering posting his naked photo, but i don't want him to read this one day and get mad... so i'll opt out for now. If things don't go well tmrw i'll post his pic immediately! HAHAHA

So I Have a Date This Saturday...

So as you know, i'm playing around on Zoosk. It was really just to laugh about, but i started chatting with this guy from the Southshore and i actually kind of started having fun. We chatted, then texting (no, no SEXTING yet), tonight we spoke on the phone, we've been playing phone tag all week, and this Saturday is D-Day. Date night.

He's invited me to Skratch...
It's kinda juvenile. Like my 9th grade boyfriend invited me to Skratch.
BUT i'm trying not to be judgmental or negative.

Already he's somehow managed to tell me every reason under the sun there is for NOT being with him; he actually listed them to me on MSN the other night at 2am. Not very bright on his part. I really have lost some interest since then. He asked me why i was single; the question I HATE.
Don't u think if i knew WHY i was single, that i would do something different?! Maybe guys are just too dumb that i meet!!
I didn't answer him that way; i mean i am a polite girl. I talked about bad timing and those type of things. So, when i asked him the same, he said: “ Do you want me to list the reasons?”

And i know you you all want to know what they are!! lol
So, here they are: the reasons to NOT be with Mr...Southshore;
  1. He's “hot stuff” (yes he SAID this, are u understanding already why i'm a little put off?)
  2. He's picky (because he's hot stuff you see) and he needs someone equal to him (mmmhmmm)
  3. He lives with his parents (oh now i understand the hot stuff part! pft)
  4. He works AND goes to school, so he has 0 time. although he is graduating in 6 weeks (one plus!)
  5. He's a nurse (yes, just like my ex who didn't have time for me either)
  6. He lives on the Southshore (i think i may have mentioned this one a few times. But he's only ±30mins away apparently.... YA with NO traffic)
  7. And, last point, is that he LOVES his job and he's VERY talented at it. So, over time and long nights are NOT a big deal for him, because he's saving lives (great. noted. thanks for sharing.)
So... after all his convincing arguments,  i'm like: “hmmm YEs , thanks for exaplining, i totally DO understand why you're single now”Uhhhh. talk later then. k bye

He's apparently a god-like nurse who is busy every second of the day, and who lives with mommy but is TOTALLY hot stuff.

that pretty much wraps it up... i'm really harsh aren't i?!

So, then why am i going on a date with him you ask......
Well, he was nice to chat to, quite funny, sympathetic, honestly curious about me and my life, he's 31, and cute, loves what he does, and through all this texting, i've kind of started to enjoy him.
But, who knows if i'll feel the same on Saturday. I will set up a few of you as my scapegoats!! HEHE Don't worry you will be informed of my whereabouts in case he is a freak of nature! Stay tuned, Brossard 7:30pm Saturday April 17th. I will tweet it live to you all. Be there or be square.

Gives Me Hope

Today i discovered the GMH website. WARNING: only look at this site when you have time, i guarantee you'll get swept away for hours! 
GMH is short for Gives Me Hope.
You have to read their site to understand; some posts are just so sad they make you cry, whereas others can put a huge smile one your face... People's messages definitely do Give You Hope.
This site might even be helpful for a few friends of mine who went through something really really devastating this past week. When the moment's right, it might help them regain their strength and faith. The passages are just snip-its from people's everyday lives, little moments that have given them hope, and they are choosing to share with the world.

Here's a few examples that touched my heart; they are sad, and sometimes morbid, but they remind you of how precious life is, and that we must appreciate the moments we do have to live:
 “I woke up one morning to hear the birds outside my window and my mother cooking breakfast downstairs. I've never cried so much in my entire life. I had been deaf since the age of 8. ”
 “Today, I found GMH. After reading all the heartwarming stories, I walked into my room, and tore my suicide journal to shreds. I'm shaking out of happiness. GMH. ”

“My dad would always start out conversations with''Do you have a girlfriend yet?''
After laughing and saying no hundreds of times I finally found the courage to tell him I was gay. After a long silence and a stressed out face or two, he calmly said, "Oh. Well.... Do you have a boyfriend yet?"
His fair love GMH.”


GMH also has a few sister sites too: 
Love Gives Me Hope (if u want to feel all gooey inside)

OMG Facts


Keep the faith xo

Sex And The City Lingerie!!

SHOCK! There is Sex And The City lingerie and I didn't know about it?!
It's designed by Cosabella. But, personally from what i can see, i'm sooooo not impressed. I mean this is SATC we're talking about! — it could've been WAY hotter (actually if you're wondering, i have a specific lingerie designer in mind * BLUSH* )

So, tell me, what do you think? Am I just way to critical about lingerie at this point? Do most people like this? Let me know you're thoughts, i'm curious ;)


Check out more lingerie pieces here.   personally, still not impressed....
You think i'm being harsh? and you actually really love it? well apparently you're supposed to be able to buy the pieces on the HBO site, (but i couldn't find it on there...) maybe it's coming soon ;)

Text Msging Foreplay

Ok so i'm texting and chatting with this guy i met on Zoosk. He seems pretty cool. He's been surprisingly supportive when i was very very sad this weekend. He handed out some good advice that made me smile, and touched my heart in a very mini little way ;)
Don't worry friends, i'm not head over heals for an internet guy i've never met!
He is however cute and funny and smart and AVAILABLE (that being the KEY word).
His, not-so-great points... he's a nurse (aka busy... like my ex), finishing up his school (so VERY busy), and lives in the South Shore (which to me is like a foreign land!).

But honestly, those aren't deal-breakers, and i haven't even met him for a date yet, so no judgment or happy-skips until then! I'll keep you updated, but as our relationship develops it's fun to think of all the new things to discover...

One of those fun things being SEXTING : aka the art of flirting over text message. I'm sure my sexy ladies out there are all familiar with that! You might have even heard the term CHEXTING : cheating over text! I have quite alot to say about THAT subject! But i won't get started! lol


There's an article I read explaining the REASONS you SHOULD SEXT ur lovers ;) it's very interesting ;) And i agree with every their points. So i suggest everyone to try some sexting tonight! hehe ... however, it may not be the right thing to start doing before you meet someone in person! aka my situation at the moment! lol But the beginning of a relationship can be super sexy with the use of technology we have ;)

Also, for a fun read (and for any guys reading!), here's an article teaching guys in particular how to SEXT properly—it's quite amusing ;)

Happy texting girls xo

Karl Wolf at 2:30am




hmmmmm yup. he's cute ;) I know alot of ppl judge KarlWolf, and think he's cheesy, but he works with friends of mine, and he's really nice and down to earth. And personally, I think he's cute ;) + I have a pic of him and I at my friend's wedding and we'd be a VERY cute couple ;) hehe

Betty or Veronica?





The age long debate since 1942 — BETTY or VERONICA?
Personally, i always side with Betty because she's the sweet girl-next-door type and always doing sweet things for Archie. She's a sucker for love. And in MY past relationships, that's how i was too... I wonder if i would have acted differently in MY relationships if i'd been Team Veronica all along? hmmmmm...


But in the end, who are we kidding? After all my heart-breaks and vulnerable moments, i still choose Team Betty. After all, us Blonds have got to stick together, right? ;)

It's exciting though: looks like Archie will be choosing his girl soon... who do you choose?

The Car Guy is Back!!




OMG that guy who wrote me a random email the other day (read here if you missed it), WASN'T a eharmony guy i had met from last year!! It was the CAR GUY!! The guy i met on the street last summer... The guy who wanted to “cook me breakfast in the morning” mid-way through our first date!
I have no idea WHY he's trying with me again, that was sooo long ago now!

NOPE not gonna see him again!! Tough luck buddy, one date with you was enough !
