I recently read a study that most men in the world are confused about what they should be… it seems advertising has started to group all men into two categories, cuddly fuzzy, understanding pink shirt metrosexuals or sport loving beer guzzling oafs. In the spirit of the 4th of July I’m here to give men their freedom.

Guys.. It’s ok to like guy stuff, it doesn’t make you an oaf, uneducated or insensitive. It’s ok to be a guy.. just be a good guy. Let me tell you a bit about myself. I like sports but they are not my life, given the choice between a good game and a great movie, I’ll take the movie. Given the choice between a good game and a great concert, I’ll take the concert… given a choice between a great game, great movie, great concert… I’ll take the great game. That’s [...]

Missing in Action

If you’re wondering why you haven’t heard from us, it’s because I was in Seattle this past weekend — my sister and I took my mom up there for her birthday. Christopher, while I was gone, had to have his appendix out in an emergency surgery, and he’s recuperating.

But that’s not the only reason we’ve been MIA. Since our big fight last week, Christopher and I aren’t really sure where things stand with “us,” and we may not be the “Chris and Chris” team much longer. We have a lot to think about on our own, and some things to talk about I suppose. I don’t really know.

What I do know is that I don’t think …

The Secret to Happiness

What is your answer to this question…?

Which person do you think is happier– a person who has won the lottery one year after he/she won, OR a person who has become a paraplegic one year after he/she lost the use of his/her legs?

It seems sort of obvious to most that if, given that choice themselves, they’d choose the first believing that winning the lottery would make them happier than being wheelchair bound. In an actual study of both groups of people, they actually all reported the same level of happiness in their life.

I recently watched a 20-minute presentation by Harvard psychologist Dan Gilbert on www.ted.com (Technology, Entertainment, Design– which is an annual conference where intelligent, innovative …

The Making of the Bread

Let me start by saying I’ve been in kind of a weird funk lately. I always get sort of depressed after the holidays and cold, gray weather affects me very negatively. So that’s what poor Christopher has been dealing with the past couple of weeks. I decided after being a grouch to be around, I wanted to do something for him to show him how much I appreciate him, so I decided to give him a few really good blow jobs and make this bread that he’s been asking me to make for seriously over a year.

It’s not like I’ve been blowing off making bread because I don’t give a shit about what he wants. The …

Herpes Genitalis and Acyclovir (aka Christine Freaks Out)

Posted on December 6th, 2007 by Christine.
Categories: True Story.

So it’s now December and I’ve been up here in Canada working for almost a month. Last year, when I came up for our December movie, I got a big ugly cold sore on my lip from the stress and spent most of the time I was at Christopher’s parents’ house in Pennsylvania applying Balmex and wrapping a scarf around my head.

After that incident, Christopher’s mother (who is a nurse) sent me some some little free sample packets of Acyclovir ointment so I could take them with me when I travel. As I was packing for this trip, I anticipated I’d be under a great deal of stress and braving the extreme cold …
