Love Vandal: Look What The Dog Sniffed
First Time For Everything: The Great Twentysomething Move-Out
As Erin already pointed out, there will be some point in your career as a twentysomething when someone will break your heart. There’s also a chance you’ll break someone’s heart. Either way, there’s a good chance that someone will be your roommate, making cutting ties an even bigger bitch than usual. Here are the dos and don’ts of breaking up with your live-in boyfriend from girls who’ve done it. Keep reading »
For The Week Of July 7-13, 2008
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Friends will be your raft to the promise land of good times and lots of booty. No matter how busy work gets or how unmotivated you feel, life is happening all round you and your friends are there to remind you of that fact. Even if you get pulled away kicking and screaming, trust by the end of the week, those screams will be stimulated by pleasure, not pain.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Your sweetie is no mind reader. If you want him to get a clue on the crap he’s slacking off on — in terms of his own life, not just your relationship, then you will have to take the Mom stance and give it to him straight. For optimum results, plan your attack for the 10th, as you’ll magically find the words that inspire rather than just nag.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Stop taking the passive role when it comes to matters of the heart. You know the power inside of you and the drive you have when the chips are down — consider this one of those times when you’ll need to climb from the ashes and claim your prize. Otherwise, you’ll only come across like a victim, and in your eyes, can there be anything worse?
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
You’re the sign of morality and honesty. If someone is not able to be truthful, you take it as a sign of a weak character. You know you would never take on a friend that would behave shadily, so stop making excuses for a hot someone that looks the part, but can’t act it. If you were after something more superficial, then fine, but admit it, you never operate that trivially.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Romance will take your brain over and slip you into a one-track mind that has you thinking for two instead of just one. Don’t try to fight this loving feeling, as most people would kill to be in your situation — cozy enough with someone worthy of your gushy thoughts. Sure, you might be out of your element, but as you’ll soon find out, this one will also fit you like a glove.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Time to make decisions, pros and con lists and all round judging of your life. Whether you’re single or attached, habits need switching and there’s no time to waste. Stop blaming the world for your past decisions and realize nothing is permanent. If you try to rationalize your unsatisfactory outlook anymore, you’ll only be digging deeper into dismalness.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Opinions from your family only make you want to do the opposite, making this one of those weeks when you’ll say too much to the one your with, which can cause some minor upheavals as those confessed feelings are driven more by rebellion than honesty. Sure, you can try to fight fate, but sometimes it’s easier to get out of trouble by messing up than standing up.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
It’s one thing to be curious, it’s another thing to ask questions to instigate gossip and rumors. Sure, life is a bit dull right now, but starting trouble is not the way to rock your world. Rather, to put yourself to good use, start planning a redo of your place and bring out your nesting instinct. It in turn will reveal your softer side and attract energy back that’s more sweet than sour.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Keep discussions light when it comes to anything dealing with love. If you try to force something deeper before it’s time, it’ll only kill the steady stride you are on now. This is the time to flirt, share comedic, yet endearing, jabs and things that are all about fun. If you don’t spend your week laughing, rethink your crush.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
You know it’s wrong to create tests for prospects to pass, but in your chaotic life, you need some structure. Sure, it’s like a trap, and with your rules, typically no one could ever win. However, this week, there’s one way someone can take home the prize — a little bribery. Yes, amazing what a little green can do, especially in light of your record for dating so many broke ass losers.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Unless you’re with a psycho, no person is going to be upfront about every little detail of their past. No matter how healthy your relationship, there are always going to be secrets. So, while your paranoia starts to get you hot under the collar, redirect it towards something more productive — like other oral fixations. Besides, would you want to reveal all your skeletons?
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
This week, your critical meter will be raging at abnormal proportions and the cat claws will be out. Your patience will be worn thin, but oddly enough this berating routine of yours will build into a bizarre foreplay act that’ll have someone eating out of the palm of your hand soon enough. However, think of this encounter more like an appetizer, rather than the entrée.
Bring On The Summer Lovin’
Friday marked the sweet 16th Anniversary of my first kiss — conveniently also on Independence Day. I thought it was going to go down just like DJ Tanner and Steve on Full House. In my case, the poor kid licked my face and then ran back to the boy’s side of my sleep away camp. I’d never seen a fat kid run so fast. But I also found out two key things over the summer make-out session: 1. Practice makes perfect. 2. Spring may have its flings, but in summer, things really heat up. We all want to be naked, we’re already warmed up, and everyone is out and about, strutting their stuff and bumping into strangers. It’s a booty buffet and this summer is already looking pretty steamy! Have you ladies been putting the ho in hot too? Confess in the comments…

The Top Ten Best Things About Being Single & Independent
In honor of Independence Day, we asked around for the best things about being single and independent. Here’s the top ten!
10. HOOKING UP
“Kissing total strangers when you’re out at bars or on dance floors. No names, no numbers exchanged, just random frenching.” — Sonia
“Ahh, guiltless, shameless flirting with strangers.” — Jocelyn
Craigslist Couch Is Start Of Marriage
If you are trying to occupy yourself at work (only four more hours until 5 p.m.), I recommend you read this cute story. It’s about a man who met his wife on Craigslist, and not in the “casual encounters” section. Chris Ayres sold his couch to a woman named Lucie, and today they’re married and have a kid.

How To Know When It’s Really, Truly, Irreconcilably *Over*
I remember the end with a daunting visual and emotional clarity that is sometimes even accompanied by a distinctly palpable nausea. We were lying in bed one overcast afternoon, the bed we’d shared for years, the bed that had actually lived against a different wall when we first met, the bed with the creaky mattress that necessitated a trip to Sleepy’s, whereas there was no store where we could purchase a salve for our dying relationship. Annihilated by that particular form of fatigue that results from an exhausted argument for which there is no solution, we drowsed in and out of sleep. At one point I felt that very bed lift, as if suspended by an unseen platform, and to my left I could see a coursing, churning brook, and to my right, a dried up riverbed. As I caught myself falling to that side I jolted awake, felt him sleeping next to me, and tried to insinuate myself beneath his heavy arm. He too awoke with a start, and then rolled over to turn away from me. All the glassy looks, the distant conversations and the poison tongued exchanges suddenly seemed inconsequential compared to this very concrete action, proof that it was indeed over. Keep reading »
Dating Don’ts: How NOT To Be Photographed For Your Online Personal Ad
As any savvy online dater knows, you can spend hours crafting the perfect combination of wit, sophistication, and charm, but all your pretty words won’t mean squat if your photo reeks.
That’s not to say that you need to be a ringer for Angelina or J. Lo to get noticed (though, obviously that wouldn’t be a hindrance), but you do need to have a photo that shows you in the best possible light without it being a completely misleading deception. Keep reading »
Orbit’s Biting Commentary On Breakups
Okay, so we know we’re not supposed to be fans of commercials when there’s, like, real art on TV, but Orbit gum is special because they understand that breaking up is hard to do. Remember the clean mouth commercial where the ex-wife put a convertible through a wood chipper because her man was cheating with his co-worker? Well they’ve managed to kick that bitchfest up a notch! In the commercial above, a scorned woman turns T-Rex and starts ripping stuff up with her teeth. Unfortunately, the ad is so controversial for some reason, it was pulled off the air. So we’re giving it to you, because we would never break your heart. [Ad Freak]
