Everyone loves a Boston girl. This is the story of one Boston girl's adventures in the city, in blogging, and in getting through those crazy 20-something years.

I'm a writer by trade. And by passion. I'm a lover of food, friends, and all things Boston. I listen to music pretty much 24/7 and idolize Martha Stewart. I love my job(s), my life, and this city. Follow me on Twitter! @Susie

3 ghosts of christmas past.

Next time when you say on a Friday night, “Wow, I haven’t had any drama in my life lately,” don’t be surprised when on Saturday night you see the following at the bar you go to: a) a guy you lusted after in high school, b) a guy you may or may not have had a one-night rebound type thing with early in the summer, and c) the ex-boyfriend who you dated for almost three years and haven’t seen since May.

Sometimes I just like to laugh at my life. Because what else can I do? I almost cried when the third walked in, but then I sucked it up, smiled, and ended up having a fun night. “I knew we were going to run into each other sooner or later,” he said to me. And it’s true; I can’t believe it took until December, after we’ve both graduated and the night before we go home for Christmas for it to happen. And it was cool. Seriously. Life is funny like that.

And hey, now I have some material for my upcoming dating and relationship blog/column that I’ll announce soon. Thank God. Things were getting pretty boring there for a while. You knew that couldn’t last long.

    If I ever let me crazy guard down, even for a second, the weird and unexpected will come galloping through. Sounds like you handled the night well though, which deserves a gold star and a cocktail.

    Have a wonderful Christmas Susie! Can’t wait for more details on this dating/relationship column of yours…

    This happened to me Friday night. It was like every guy I had ever dated (well minus the most recent, thank god) decided to come to the same bar on the same night. It was… weird.

    Merry Christmas!

    Now that, is a crazy night.

    A friend went out with new girlfriend to bar in Sandy Eggo. Both him and new girl lived in northern California at the time. At the same bar, he ran into 4 ex-girlfriends. Very awkward.

    LOL…..good times! I ended up downtown in a cab with 4 girls that I knew. About halfway through the trip I started to laugh…..when I realized I had slept with all of them, and none of them worked out. One asked why I was laughing and I could barely get out, “What do each one of you have in common?” It was pretty priceless. We all had a good laugh about it.
