Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, I hope you’re all having a fantastic day with the people you love most.

I’m going to keep this post super short so I can get back to the festivities and by that I mean go watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving because…. Its thanksgiving and watching it is pretty much law.

I’m feeling equal parts thankful and homesick today, I’m very grateful for everything I have and all the wonderful people I have in my life. But days like today always make think about home and my family and friends I’m not able to spend the day with. I can’t help but feel a little sad.

That said, I have a lot to be thankful for, a job I don’t hate, friends that care, family that love me, and a hockey that couldn’t buy a win….. Did I mention the hockey season started last week J Go Leafs Go or Blow Leafs Blow as the case may be. 

Anyways, I am going to leave this post at that and return to the holiday fun. But, before I go I have this question for you; what are you thankful for? Let me know in the comments below and as always stay and play safe.

Love,

Autumn Tag

It’s been a very long time since I’ve done any sort of tag post, they tend not to be my favourites to either read or write but I saw this one floating about and thought why the hell not. I love autumn and why not get into the seasonal spirit with this post.

1. Favourite Thing About Autumn.

My favourite thing about autumn is seeing the leaves change colour. There is something about going for a walk in the evening when all the leaves have changed, but before they really start to fall, that just makes me happy.

2. Favourite Drink

Apple cider has to be my favourite autumn drink. And because that’s something different here I will explain, it’s an unfiltered, unsweetened non-alcoholic beverage that tastes about a million times better than apple juice.

3. Favourite Candle Scent.

No matter the time of year “soft blanket” is my favorite scent. However, I have recently discovered “Kilimanjaro Stars” and it smells like an autumn night. It’s amazing.

4. Best Lipstick

Autumn is all about a vampy lip. For me, that’s either brown or purple. My favourite brown is NYC Expert Last in “444 chocolate chip” and if I want a little more gloss I’ll top it with Maybelline Colour Elixir in “725 Caramel Infused”. For a purple lip I’ll do Maybelline Colour Drama in “310 Berry Much” and I’ll top that with Urban Decay Apocalypse.

5. Go To Moisturizer

Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet; great on its own or under makeup

6. Go To Eye Colour 

In the autumn I tend to wear more copper colors, in with my normal browns. I like “amaretto” from the Too Faced chocolate bar palette or MAC “Antiqued” is really pretty as well.

7. Favourite Music

I tend to go to Country music this time of years. Luke Bryan is one of my favourites at the moment. That said, I’ve come to associate him with Larry and that’s kind of ruined a whole lot of his music for me.

8. Favourite Outfit

White strap top, a checked shirt and either jeans or a long denim skirt…. You can’t get much more fall then that.

9. Favourite Autumn Treat

Smores is the first thing that comes to mine. It reminds me of the last campfire of the year and brings back such happy memories.

10. Favourite Place To Be

Cooler night’s mean my favourite place to be in is cuddle up with someone special watching a film or a TV. But seeing as I’m single and going to die alone, my favourite place is under my electric blanket snuggled up watching trashy TV.

Anyways, my dears, that is that tag done, I hope you enjoyed it. I am going to go and get a few hours’ sleep, I have a busy day ahead of me. I won’t leave you with a question this blog, but feel free to leave your tag answers in the comment box below. As always my loves, stay and play safe.

Purity Rings Revisited

I’ve had a lot of requests lately to revisit my purity ring posts now that I’m apparently “older and wiser and more mature.” Even funnier than the idea that I’m either wiser or more mature is occasionally add-on of “less sin filled”. I take that one as a personal insult… or maybe a challenge.

I’ve given the idea of rewriting these posts a lot of thought, a lot more thought than I normally give a post, and I’ve decided against it. Not because of the amount of hate these posts get (which for the record is a lot) but because I whole hearted agree with both the original post I wrote back in 2011 and the follow up I did in 2012. (Both posts are link in case you want to read them.)

Both posts were well researched, particularly my 2012 one, which was basically a giant screw you to the insane amount of alleged Christians who had and continue to message me to this day telling me I’m wrong, a horrible human and I’m going to hell.

The facts, the numbers and studies haven’t changed; purity rings do not work and those who take the pledge are substantially more likely to practice unsafe sex.

TV shows like Teen Mon and 16 and Pregnant, have actually had a bigger impact on both teens waiting to have sex and practicing safe sex than these magical silver rings that are meant to keep teen legs closed in the name of God have ever had.

If anything in the 4 years since I posted my original blog, scientific studies have proven these facts more definitively and me rewriting my post won’t change that. As much as you may disagree, facts are facts.

I won’t leave you with a question of the blog this time, I shall just open the floor up to you, leave your thoughts and opinion on the matter in comment box below. And as always stay, and play, safe.

Love,

Larry Silence

Apparently inquiring minds would like to know what happened with Larry. It’s been over a month since his name was even uttered here and evidently you’d like to know the why and what happened.

As you may be recalled, because of the way my shifts fell I got a Larrycation, I didn’t see or speak to him for about 2 weeks. During that time I sat down with a drink and pad of paper and wrote everything out and by the end, as bad as this may sound, I concluded I deserve better. And almost instantly with that realization his magically hold over me was broken.

This was aided by the fact when he came back to work he was kind of a cunt to me. It’s a well-known fact I don’t like that word, but I can’t think of a more accurate way to describe him. He was snappy, rude and generally unappealing. Which in all fairness, I’m grateful for, it validated what my decision.

Now, I will say this, he was going through some stuff, and we all get bitchy and evil at times when our head isn’t right. I’m the perfect example of that. But his timing on this one was impeccable.

It’s actually why I waited to write this post, I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt and see if he came around. Which he did, we’re alright now. But had I wrote this post my last 4 off like I planned, it would have had a completely different feel.

Anyways, I am going to go and try to make the most of my 4 days off, but before I go I shall leave you with this question; are you quick to forgive? Let me know in the comments below and as always stay and play safe.

Love,

2015 The Year Of The Horrible Blogger

As the months tick away, I find myself sitting reflecting on this year and this blog and I hate to say it, but I kind of feel like a failure. While my number posts are up on the 2 previous years, the number collaborations and guest spots I’ve done are way down. And despite posting more, I’ve actually been AWOL for long chunks of times this year which is unacceptable. My social media game has been appalling. I’ve just been a horrible blogger this year.

And as Thanksgiving approaches, I can’t help but feel thankful for those of you that are still here despite me sucking. You guys are the first ones to know when something is wrong and you’re the first to send me messages when I’m ill. I’m just very lucky.

This blog is often me venting and releasing that inner bitch that you have to fight all week to keep in. It tends to be a little more on the negative, sarcastic, bitchy side and I think it’s important every once in a while just to let you know, the nice positive side isn’t lost me, and I know just how blessed I truly am. And I’m very thankful to have you guys in my life… even when I’m being a horrible blogger.

Anyways, I’m going to go and write a much requested post, but before I do I have this question for you; what have you failed at this year? Let me know in the comment box below and as always stay and play safe.

Improv Freedom

I managed to catch an improv class tonight for the first time in a few weeks and I have to say I feel amazing for it. There’s something about having to be so quick and on point that clears your mind and removes any filters you have. It’s very freeing. It’s kind of how I imagine therapy must feel for normal people.

After biting my tongue all week, it feels fantastic to just let everything inside my head pop out. I love my job don’t get me wrong, but I’m starting to get really fed up with the attitudes of some of the people and I’m finding it an increasing struggle not to say something.

In a fairness, part of it is I need to book a few days off and I need to get better at recognizing that and acting on it before I turn into a crazy bitch. No matter how much you like your job, there are times you just need to get away. Improv and drinking will only get you so far, sometimes you just need to relax.

Anyways, I am going to go and get some sleep, but before I go I have this question for you; how do you know when you’re due a holiday? Let me know in the comment box below. And as always stay and play safe.

Bad Life Choices

Am I the only one who finds themselves occasionally doing things that they know are a bad idea?

It seems every few years, my brain enters a fuck it mode where it understands what it’s thinking is a horrible idea but rationalizes it with “why not? It’s a little bit of fun and if it all goes wrong, is it really going to make things that much worse?” And for whatever reason, sooner or later the rest of me buys that rational and goes along for the ride. And shock horror it pretty much always ends badly.

I think the last time my brain entered that mode was when I agreed to go out with that guy I was telling you about in my “Past Rumour” post. I knew it was horror idea, even though he had left, we had a lot of friends in common and I just knew it wasn’t smart. But, I thought “what’s the worse that is going to happen”, and now ex co-workers know initiate details about my sex life.

The problem I’m having is my brain is in the middle of one of those fuck it cycles right now, and I feel like it’s only a matter of time before I give in and I’m left to clean up the pieces afterwards. Despite knowing full well this is a horrible, stupid, foolish idea that can only end badly.

I bet you want to know what the bad idea is, don’t you?

After radio silence for almost 2 months TPF (The Penis Flasher) messaged me the other day while I was at work. In a fairness, I didn’t really mind, when his mind isn’t on his penis he’s easy to talk to and we have a bit of a laugh. The problem is his mind doesn’t stay off his penis for long and this was no exception.

The shorten version of events is he wanted to meet up at 06:30 after I finished work but before he started for “have some fun”. Now crazy brain or not, this wasn’t happening and I’ll explain why.

Let’s start with the fact I’m not the easy, I take a little wooing…or at least a few drinks. I’m not about to meet up with anyone in broad day and just fuck them, that isn’t my style.

Now let’s talk about the time frame. This is a guy I haven’t kissed, haven’t touched, haven’t spent any time with outside of work, and he’s allocated a 30 minute window at best…I don’t want to sleep with anybody whose start to finish is 30 minutes or less, I’m after an orgasm not a pizza.

With that said, at some point I predict I will give in and the "fuck it" side of my brain will win and I’ll tell you why. There is definitely no relationship to be had there, so in a way makes it’s safe. I won’t be working at the same location as him soon so if things go bad, I don’t have to see him. And as much as my brain knows better, he makes me laugh and we all know funny guys have a habit of clouding my better judgement.

That said, he breaks one of my golden rules of safe sex, which we know is condoms, birth control and a reasonable chance the guy I'm sleeping with is shooting blanks. TPF has a kid, which by all rights should disqualify him, but given how bad an idea this is, hell what’s an another one.

Anyways, I am going to go and get drunk because clearly sober me is making bad life choices and at least if I’m drunk I can’t drive making it much harder to act on those choices. But before I go I have this question for you; why do we do thing that we know will end badly? Let me know in the comment box below. And as always, stay and play safe.

Love,

The Honest Bitch
