#DatingDetox: Officially, officially complete. I can haz contacts! (FT. Nate Berkus)

While I was couch surfing I wore the same pair (super gross), and then one day wound up losing one of the lenses in a complication with the case. It sucked major balls, and I had to stare at everyone out of one eye ball for quite some time.

I had a ton of fun in Vegas, made lots of money, spent a few nights with some old friends who moved from Palm Springs to Vegas, and then ended up staying with Jen Friel & Steph Belsky in an amazing, penthouse condo walking distance to the convention.

#ThatAwkwardMomentWhen: You return to your car only to find out someone has been sleeping in it

I spent about 5 minutes reminiscing about everything that had been and everything that was going to be. The last time I was here I was a naive girl that had just driven cross country for three days with a couple hundred dollars to her name, and an apartment found on craigslist. Since that time, I have not only discovered myself but successfully built a name for myself. I quickly realized this was a pronounced full circle moment.

#Randombling: That Nerdy Chick (are we there yet?)

I'm not even picky, I said to a writer over lunch yesterday. All I want is a guy that is passionate about what he does, loves his life, and is smart.

You really believe that, he said. Interesting.
