3.5 Welcome Back to my Hill
“Bless your beautiful hide.” Howard Keel, 7 Brides for 7 Brothers It’s been just over a year since I started this blog. It’s not perfect; I don’t post as regularly (or consistently) as I should, I don’t have a specific focus and I sometimes find myself with not much to say. (Well, that’s not entirely…

3.4 More
I decided it was time for me to break my hiatus. I don’t generally make Capital “S” Statements on this blog, and I feel like there’s a time and a place for it. So, here’s what I’m going to say: I won’t tell you what to believe. I won’t tell you how you should think…

![3.1 Frie[nd]s, Comparatively Speaking](https://itsrainingem.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/french-fries.jpg?w=1024)
Generally, I find that one of the best qualities a person can have is the ability to be self-aware. Good personal hygiene is up there, too, don’t get me wrong. And untouchable taste in music. And also being well-coiffed. But yes, being self-aware is hell-and-away one of the most important qualities to have. I’ve been…

2.5 A Mile a Minute: How Single is TOO Single? Asking For a Friend
Look, it’s no secret to anyone. I’m single. Never had a boyfriend. Whether by choice, involuntarily or due to residual trauma regarding past rejection and the resulting insecurities (see 2 posts ago for reference), I have lived my 23 years on this planet so far as a single lady (cue Beyoncé). Moving to a small…

2.4 GOOD VIBES ONLY (Aiming for a Positive Spin, is it Working?)
Generally, when I write about relationships (or lack thereof, usually), I tend to be pretty hard on the male population. Couldn’t possibly be because most of them are smelly, rude and clueless, right? Okay, okay, I’m kidding. Sort of. Whatever. The point is, usually I’m pretty much on the “men are trash” train, so I’m…

2.3 Trauma with a Capital T, and That Rhymes with P and That Stands for PERSONAL STORY TIME
It’s been a while since I’ve posted, because I’ve been feeling uninspired with no real creative direction lately. It’s like the metaphorical “drought,” if you will. But I was chit-chatting with a friend a week or so ago, on a Saturday night (and yes, wine was included. Yes, we had to go out and buy…

2.2 Thanksgiving Hot Takes: The Foods and the Dudes
What, like YOU’VE never compared classic Thanksgiving dishes to general male archetypes? Give me a FREAKIN’ break. Turkey: Ole Buddy, Ole Pal The Food: Turkey is a Thanksgiving staple, right? Thanksgiving dinner wouldn’t be Thanksgiving dinner without it! It’s reliable and always there. The Dude: This is the classic camped-in-the-friendzone scenario. He’s nice, inoffensive, but…

2.1 The Giraffe in the Room (Spoiler Alert: It’s Me)
When I started this blog, I said that I wasn’t going to beat the dead “I’m a tall girl and it makes things complicated sometimes” horse. But as I’m entering my second series of the blog, I’m going to focus a little more on the dating/relationship side of things, and in order to do that…

1.8 BREAKING NEWS: Blogger Describes Split From Longtime Beau, Who Happens to Be a Dating App
Because I will do literally ANYTHING to avoid any real work or face my real-life problems, a few days ago I downloaded Tinder. I should say, rather, that I redownloaded Tinder. I’m going to insert here a little crash course, a Tinder 101 if you will, for the more wholesome/busy/married-for-multiple-years/blissfully ignorant readers that I have,…
