Valentine's Day Resolutions

Armistead Maupin’s More Tales of the City, one of my all time favorite books, opens with Michael “Mouse” Tolliver’s 30 Valentine’s Day Resolutions. This year, I’m taking Maupin’s cue. Because while I may not really be celebrating Valentine’s Day in the traditional sense, I still kind of like the idea of the holiday. So I’m thinking about what I want to improve upon – or at least do differently – in 2007. Hopefully next year conditions will have improved…

Valentine’s Day Resolutions

1. Message those cute guys on MySpace. It can’t hurt, right?

2. Buy more cute underwear.

3. Buy red sheets.

4. Three words: abs, arms, butt. Work on those.

5. Stop comparing my life to Grey’s Anatomy, Sex and the City, or similarly chick focused television drama.

6. Attempt to slightly overestimate my own hotness. Because confidence is sexy.

7. Stop letting my love/sex life distract me from frustrations with career trajectory.

8. Only date guys who are at least as oversexed as I am.

9. Be a little more secretive. No need for everyone to know what’s going on.

10. Stop expecting love to change my life.

Happy V-Day!
