Tweeting My Love Life

Been enjoying a rather entertaining week on twitter.  Having fun with this form of Social Media and meeting many new faces in and outside the Van City scene.  A few twitterlious moments for me have been:

  • Getting to know @hummingbird604 better through his tweets
  • Meeting the dastardly @seeper76, who keeps me laughing.
  • Discovering that we have a following in Europe – thanks to @saabir – whom like a chivalrous European knight has been providing me with tunes to start my day off right.
  • An introduction to the musical stylings of @chrisblake

But what I’ve been finding funniest has been the number of tweeters, as of late, that have been taking a vested interest in my love life.  Apparently, I appear to be in of help.  Hell, I am 34 and single, after all.

  • @JuiceBoxRadio is giving me weekly advice on how to meet men in Van City.
  • One unnamed tweeter has told me I’m pretty and that he’d like to meet-up sometime soon. That was his first tweet me and no I haven’t met him.
  • @OnlineBootyCall has told me that it is okay to be single and just enjoy lots and lots of commitment free sex.
  • @DatingCoach is promising to teach me the secrets of dating men – from a man.
  • And as of this morning, @MyTweetheart is promising to broadcast my singledom to the tweetisphere and, of course, find me a Tweetheart.

So what’s a girl to do!?!  Well this girl, was in a bit of a whacky mood this morning and thought @MyTweetheart was far too funny.  So she tweeted, “Sure add me to the site.”  And they actually did.  Check it out – Females Seeking Males. Can just picture my Mom now not being sure whether to laugh or shake her head and say, “Where did I go wrong?”

So the moral of this story?  If you’re not on Twitter now, join me there and you too can delve more into my personal life.  I know – exciting, right? You don’t have to be embarrassed, most people can barely contain their excitement at the prospect of befriending me and delving into my oh so exciting personal life.

Kisses to all you sexy things,

Emme

52 Weeks

October 5, 2008 By 1 Comment

In case you haven’t noticed, I don’t exactly let the Press tell me who the Super Stars and Celebrities are. I tell the world whom I think they should be.  So obviously my Mom is No 1 on the list of celebrities in my mind and Dad is a close second.

Other ‘my mind celebrities’ that I have written about include: internet icons Megan Cole and Matt Mullenweg (Matt is after all a very cute nerd), silver screen celebrities Kim Cattrall and Meg Tilly (both of whom won their way into my heart after hearing them speak), and Planet Green’s own Timothy Kuryak (I did mention Timothy in my Banff TV Festival posts, didn’t I? If not, I should have as he totally gets it on so many levels and is cute to boot!!!). Some of these people are already deemed celebrities in the public eye and others are now just gaining the press that they deserve.  Congrats Megan on making the top 20!!!!

Globe and Mail Now Public Article - Capo, my Mac and I At Home by Megan Cole.

Well dear readers, I have two new Sexy in Van celebrities for you – Lori and Richard Yearwood of Once in a Lifetime Books.  And yes, these two new Van City additions are a couple, so fellas I know she is fine, but she’s taken, so back off. And yes ladies, he is not too shabby either, but once again – taken – enjoy him as a bit of eye candy only! Look, but don’t touch.  Enjoying the scenery is not one of the 10 deadly sins, is it?  I digress, so who are these two new Van Sexies and why do they warrant celebrity status in my mind?  Well Richard is a well known actor, director, producer and writer.  I personally would like to see Richard, as the next Denzel Washington, playing roles that portray men of African ancestry in a positive light and not stereotypic, racial roles that for whatever reason still keep coming out of Hollywood. Lori, although not as well known, is clearly the brains, and an awfully sexy set of brains at that.

52 weeks by you.

So what brought these two new Van Sexies to my attention?  Their relationship books from their own Publishing House, Once in a Lifetime Books.  The name of these books?  52 weeks.  And yes, they are as titillating as they sound.  You can make them as 9 1/2 weeks as you like – only they last much longer. The books come in pairs, a his and hers version, and having read them both you really do want to be playing with one of each, as Richard has a bit of fun manipulating each genders weekly ‘task’ to heighten its pleasure. They even have a set for the Christian man and women, which I was told was not suited to me – but I thought I’d mention it in case (although I can’t imagine why) we have a tamer reader.

Richard claims in the introduction, that this book is for everyone – if you are in a new relationship, a relationship of a couple of years or a mature relationship.  This is the point at which I must protest – damn you Richard, it’s not for me, as I am currently between relationships.  I guess I’ll just have to find the right guy to try out these books with.

Now I don’t agree with Richard on all counts, as he suggests in the men’s book that this is their ticket to freedom, to be allowed to go out with the guys without question.  I do agree with him that this is healthy in a relationship and that your spouse should be able to go out with their friends on their own, I just don’t get why you wouldn’t trust your spouse or why they wouldn’t trust you or why you’d be in a relationship that lacks trust.  In my mind a healthy relationship is built on trust and even if you don’t trust their friends or wouldn’t want to date their friends, you should trust them (no matter whom they are with).  And personally, having spent some time at ‘the ballet‘ (for research, of course), I can tell you that a real woman, that you love, who is dancing for you is ten times sexier than a professional dancer. I think this is the point that Richard is getting to for those that don’t understand this already – trust is what makes for a healthy relationship and is what can make it develop into the wildest sexual fantasy of your dreams.

While you take your time humming and haaing over whether or not you have the guts to bring the book home and share it with your lover, I will tease you here intermittently with a few of my favorite phrases or ‘tasks’ in the books.  Figure if these books are making me sexually frustrated over the lack of a lover to play with them with,  I should at the very least taunt and frustrated a few of you too from their suggestions.

Frustatedly yours,

Emme

Boys and their Toys

September 30, 2008 By 3 Comments
You know what they say about men with big trucks …..
Big truck, big ... by you.
Personally I am thinking this one might be hiding a bit of a secret.  Really boys (and in this case, I do mean boys and not men), it really is in all how you use it and bigger does not always mean better.

Spring Adventures

May 30, 2008 By 7 Comments

So my dear readers, I know I have been very negligent in writing as of late. I apologize, but I do have a good excuse. With all this talk of Spring Fever and my suggestion that you, dear readers, write in with your sexy affairs in search for spring time fever, I decided I was being a little hypocritical with all talk and suggestion, but no action. Cowardly I know. But I have spent the past two-weeks rectifying that situation. And oh, ohh, ohhhhh the stories I could tell!!! It is really too bad for you that I am such a private person!

Spring fever aside, another nice little spring adventure just fell in my lap. I AM GOING TO BANFF!!!!! That’s right for The Banff World Television Festival!! Gotta phone call last night from an ex-lover and he invited me to town for the week thinking I’d get a kick out of being in town for the television fest, which of course I will, and an old flame is never a bad way to turn up the spring heat!

Banff

Have yet to figure out the whole plan, but word on the street has it that our friends – Kris Krug, Megan Cole and Erica Hargreave of Raincity Studios and Bridging Media will be in Banff covering both nextMEDIA and the Banff TV Fest of all things! So am definitely keeping my eye on those cats, as you know that they’re bound to be at all of the best parties!

Also thinking that I’ll sign up for Sunday’s Golf Tournament, as rumor has it that a lot of the big players tee off their festival this way and I have heard that it swings off the week on a nice, relaxing stroke. That aside, am definitely signing up for the Tuesday at the festival as none other then Kim Cattrall of Sex and the City will be there!!!!! And I have to meet a gal that so clearly reminds me of Miss Kittyn on the big screen! My ex-lover also tells me that the barbecue on Tuesday night is somewhat of a Banff legend that is making it’s first debut after several years on hiatus.

A Very Sexy Gal

The other days will be all about the meetings that I can schedule. Gotta get on that (pretty much right NOW!). The focus – definitely a literary agent – it is time to figure out what I can really do with that book I am writing – and with the release of Sexy in the City on the big screen, there definitely isn’t a better time than right now. Am also feeling particularly voyeuristic these days, so who knows, maybe it is time for that acting agent too!

More from the Rockies my dear fans!

Kisses,

Emme

Damn Spring Fever or Why I Have Decided to Start Exercising More……

May 3, 2008 By 5 Comments

Okay – I don’t know about the rest of you, but spring is definitely in the air. Those @^%^^$&*& pheromone are flying everywhere. Originally I was Miss Calm Collected – “I will write about spring time animal instincts of the rest of nature”, but as for me I wasn’t really feeling it and besides Mr What If (aka Scaredy Squirrel) kept floating in and out of my life, so my thoughts were a little preoccupied, being kept away from the raw animal instincts of spring, especially as Mr What If isn’t exactly in the 604.

Well that’s all been thrown out of the window now! Seeing as every which way I turn the raw primal nature of Spring keeps smacking me upside the head – that God damn Darwinistic adaptation of nature designed for survival of the species – SEX!!!!!! Bloody flowers flaunting all of their sexy bits for all the world to see.

Now being a single gal this shouldn’t really be a problem as why shouldn’t I be able to enjoy my sexuality and have a bit of a spring fling of my own. Well you see it is just not that simple -

1) Because I have only ever slept with people I care about and for me sex is totally mental, so it has to be with someone I care about.

2) I don’t want to fuck some guy up in the head that really cares about me, because I have a bit of spring fever. (And I have done this before – on more than one occasion – and I do seem to fuck them up)

3) Most of the men in my life I work with and I never want people think I achieved anything by “sleeping with a guy” and this is just so cliche of my industry. I was horrified on one occasion to actually have a not so gentlemanly fellow try the “old casting couch routine” on me, as he suggested of all things that he had a starring role for me in his documentary. All I can say is he’d better have been talking about the role of the host.

4) I work in the most gossipy industry and even though I don’t think I am anybody in it, I can’t even go to a screening with a guy without it being all around town the next day. No joke – this actually happened – got calls the next day from people that weren’t there asking who the “hunk” was that I’d been spotted on a date with. The “hunk” in question was just a friend – a happily married friend – so I had to do some quick clean-up on that one. And I am finding it increasingly difficult to go out anywhere in Van City without running into people I know. Goodness only knows what the rumors will be after I am spotted at the opera for a second time in one week with one of my male business colleagues.

5) Oh and to top it all off, a friend recently told me that he believes every time you sleep with someone new you leave a bit of your soul behind with them!!! And I can’t get that bloody thought out of my head. Lovely thought for someone who has been happily married since their early 20s, but what about the rest of us. Horrible suggestion as it suggests we should remain celibate or turn into soulless shadows.

So what is a girl to do!?! Substitute – chocolate and exercise – and lots of it!!!

Indulge

Yours frustratedly,

Emme
