In the spirit of Christmas

Posted by CB , Saturday, December 10, 2011 8:32 p.m.

Ladies, I have an interesting story to tell you about today, the story of the ugliest and weirdest Christmas present I've ever received from a guy.
The present was from my ex's father, who has a bad reputation of giving weird presents. (Even his son says this)
He gives me a box that can only contain a necklace so I start thinking, THIS MIGHT NOT BE SO BAD! So I mistakenly say 'Jewelry for a girl, you can never go wrong!'

But apparently you can.
I open the box and see a necklace. A fish necklace with some kind of greasey black cord, some weird worms looking beads on the side of the ugliest fish I have ever seen. I was in shock and luckily I was already wearing a necklace so he couldn't force it on me.

My ex later said to me 'oh my god, that is the ugliest thing I have ever seen'

I kept the necklace which I took a picture of for your enjoyment.

However, I WANT YOUR STORIES! Tell me all about your worst/weirdest present you've ever received from a guy and I'll post all the responses we get :) Pictures would be even better, although it's understandable if you've thrown it away/exchanged it.

Tips for Single Women from 1938

Posted by CB , Wednesday, November 30, 2011 6:09 p.m.

Recently came across this post on Retronaut and decided to share with my fellow ladies some tips for single ladies in the 1930's! Although pretty conservative and not always relevant today, some of the posts are still good guidelines for good behavior on dates.

The Good:

Still a very useful tip!

Okay, you can chew gum but good posture is always good :)

AHAHA! yeah, preferably, don't talk about other dates with your date ;)

Something that some of us forget sometimes, drinking a bit to loosen up is fine but getting sloshed is not.

Once again, don't pass out and don't flirt with other men.

An interview with Sarah, the awesome race car driving chick!

Posted by CB , Tuesday, November 22, 2011 4:12 p.m.

If you've been following the I hate men Group on Facebook, you may have noticed some posts from my friend Sarah Cornett-Ching, the race car driver! As one of the only female drivers out there, Sarah is kicking men's asses and proving just how awesome women are! This qualifies her to be the first women to be interviewed as a role model and inspiration on this blog. :)

Tell us a bit about the kind of races you do, the car you use, etc...

I race in a series that travels across British Columbia and I made my debut in the Nascar Canadian Tire Series this year. The car I race in is a Late Model, nothing about it is stock like a street car. Everything is fabricated and aftermarket. The motors we race make 460 horsepower!

 When and why did you start racing?

I started racing when I was 12 years old, I had been helping my dad with his race team for years and had been asking for a race car of my own. One day, he took us to the shop and sitting outside was my first race car. The funny part is my mom and I were both surprised but in different ways! I was excited and happy and my mom was ready to kill my dad for putting her 12 year old daughter in the seat of a race car.

What is the most demanding part?

The most demanding part is because we race almost every week there is a lot of work getting the car ready between races. If we do get involved in an altercation one week we work every night until midnight or later making the car ready to race the next week.

How does it feel to be a girl in such a male-dominated career?

The good and bad side of being a female in the sport is that everything I do is under a magnifying glass. If I do well in a race I get way more attention and media than any other driver. If I crash though it is automatically assumed to be my fault and its said I'm not ready to be racing at the level I'm at etc. Its a double edged sword.

Brotips and single girl problems.

Single Girl's Night In

Posted by CB , Thursday, November 10, 2011 1:12 a.m.

Single girls out there, I know that sometimes you can feel like being single is the worst thing in the world. But tonight, I finally understood what one of my guy-friends has been trying to make me understand:
Sometimes, being alone is nice.
Tonight started off with me going to Walmart to look at the Christmas decorations. I ended up being ultra cheesy and buying a scented candle with a Christmas themed scent, mulled cider.
I then proceeded to blow off a nice guy. I felt super shitty about it but I just didn't feel ready for a boyfriend which I knew that's what he wanted.
My next single girl move? I played 90's alt music on acoustic guitar and sang. For myself. (My new oldish jam: Linger by the Cranberries)
I watched 90210 and smelled my delicious candle.

I know that I'm not going to want to be alone like this every night, but every once in a while, it's fantastic.
Love your friends, but love yourself.

Lately, I've been going through an overdose of guys playing video games which made this all the more applicable when my dear friend C-dawg posted this to the group.
