For those of you not in the know, B. J. Barnes is not my real name (I really wish it was, it's a really cool name). So this is a short one to let you know where this little moniker comes fro… Read More

So, since the whole Mr. A thing ground to a really disappointing halt, I've been dealing with the uncomfortable realisation that I still have it super bad for The Writer. I've kind of known… Read More

I started writing this a few weeks ago, immediately after the fact. But I couldn't finish it, and I'm glad that I couldn't, because it would have been a mess. Now that I've had a little bit… Read More

My relationship with my father is not a great one. There is resentment on both sides, but mine is tempered somewhat by the fact that I do genuinely love him. Dad has always looked at me like… Read More

Mr. A is not the first 'nice' guy I've dated. They have been few and far between, but I have chalked up at least, hmmm, three. This post is about one in particular, probably the first t… Read More

Dear Mr. A, I know we're literally only just getting to know each other. But there are a few things about me that you should probably know, because I really don't want you to get the wr… Read More

So, after Mr. A's uber romantic response to my (not so) bat-shit crazy text message, which basically said 'Yes, I also think we should hang out, how about later in the week?' I went into a t… Read More

My last post regarding Mr. A left you in anticipation, waiting for a response from him after I asked if he wanted to have a drink after his show.He did. So I went along to his show, and… Read More

I will commence this by apologising to my Irish girls, who may be reading this, as I took most of this from an email I sent to them last week. So, I totally attended the birthday drink… Read More

Almost two weeks have passed since the cute lunch. They've been a pretty uneventful two weeks insofar as Mr. A is concerned, I'm going to be honest. After I wrote my last post, literall… Read More

You know the feeling. Your thoughts constantly turn in that direction. You have little flashbacks to happier times. It hurts, but you can't help but turning your mind down memory lane. It cr… Read More

But I still love him. I love him enough to forgive him for being a douche. I even almost love him enough to forgive him for dating Jessica Simpson (almost).Ha! I totally got you thinking tha… Read More

I am analytical by nature, in case you couldn't already tell. As such, I have the terrible tendency to dissect every little thing after any encounter with a man I am crushing on, and that ca… Read More

The Writer leaves Dublin soon. And so do I. I am at a loss, I am not sure what I will do when I can't see him everyday, hear the now familiar rise and fall of his voice. I am still in love… Read More
