Love Translations.
Friday, October 26, 2007
Dear Readers,

Okay, Lenny just broke up with you, which is weird, because you were totally out of his league... but nevermind that now. The thing that you’re still puzzled about a month later, is what he actually meant by “It’s not you, it’s me”, or whatever other corny line Lenny picked up from Desperate Housewives the night before and decided to use on you. Well, lucky for you, me, and anyone else who isn’t quite sure what “Let’s just be friends” actually means, here are some easy-peasy-lemon-squeasy translations we can all use in order to save that month trying to figure out what the hell Lenny was trying to say.

"It’s not you, it’s me." It’s definitely you: the way you walk, the way you smack your lips after saying something smart, the way you do that laugh/snort thing, the way... and so on.

"The distance is too great." Any distance is too far, if you lived in my freakin’ basement the distance would still be too far. In fact, I actually wish you lived further, so that this lame line would actually make sense.

"I’m still getting over my past relationship." My sexuality is currently in question.

"Let’s just be friends." If you got a nose job, then maybe, maybe, I’d consider being seen in public with you, maybe.

Hello City!
Wednesday, October 24, 2007
Dear Readers,

Okay, fine, we'll come clean. When we said "sexless in the city", we didn't entirely mean 'sexless'. Like we're obviously not having sex at this very moment, but we do have boyfriends. Great boyfriends.

It's just that since we started university in September, things have had to change. Jess has had to learn how to survive in rez, creating culinary masterpieces with only a microwave and a kettle. While Steph has realized that leaving dirty dishes in the sink on her way to class will not change the fact that they are dirty dishes. Yes, they’ll still be there when you get back.

This sexlessness probably has to do with our expectations. We expected university to be amazing. Independence. Drunken toga parties. Late night take out.

In reality... it’s sexless. There are bills to pay, few drunken orgies and Jess is pretty sure that the majority of guys at her school are gay.

Don’t get us wrong, the university lifestyle has it’s perks, but when it comes down to it...

Are expectations only going to hurt you in the end?




[Sexless in the city is a new blog targetted toward university students – both male and female. Sex. School. Relationships. There are things that we all deal with.
