Sex and the City of Colorado Springs

I moved to Colorado Springs 10 years ago, as an impressionable young 20-something looking for adventure, love and pretty much anything different from the small farming town I'd grown up in back east. I've since, had some adventures. I've had quite a bit of fun. I've also found love more than once, but after spending the majority of my 20's in 2 separate relationships that ultimately didn't work out, I realized I was ready to spend some time outside of "relationship land" and start living MY life. My most recent relationship of 4 1/2 years, ended last January after I finally came to terms with the fact that we just weren't right for each other and I had been trying to force things into place for years. After the obligatory 3 months or so of heartache, I started spending more time with my girlfriends whom I'd lost touch with. I started going out more. I started dating, even though I knew I didn't want anything serious to come from any of the dates, it was still nice to see another side of things. 2009 ended up being one of the greatest years of my life, all because I was honest with myself about what I wanted and I began saying "yes" to all the fun things life was throwing my way.

I am an aspiring writer (among other things), who works in a restaurant, wears $20 shoes and who doesn't drink Cosmos. I think spending a month's salary on a designer outfit is just about the dumbest thing anyone could do. But I have girlfriends that I love dearly. And we drink. And we date men. And we have sex. And sometimes we get into really fucked up situations that, in hindsight, are hysterical. These are the things I intend to share and also (hopefully) some nuggets of wisdom I learn along the way....
