Hi. I'm Phelan Sadie. For seven years, I worked full time while also completing my PhD and I finally finished my PhD in December 2016. During that time, I enjoyed writing about some of my shenanigans, experiences, observations, and insights as a way to connect with other aspects of myself, especially my romantic life which is chock-full of nutty stories. Just when I think things can't get any more weird, life surprises me with more weirdness but it all seems normal to me. At first, I emailed some stories to friends and family, then a couple of friends suggested I start a blog. So, here I am. I've written these stories to the best of my recollection. Some of my stories are funny; some aren't. Some are sexually explicit; some are downright lame. Either way, I hope you appreciate or enjoy them.

About three years ago, I arrived at what I call the intersection of Fuck It Rd. and I Don't Give a Shit Ave. It's a crude way of saying that I've let go of outcome and a sense of absolute control over my life. That I have faith that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be (fuck it) and am being my authentic self despite judgments other people may make about me (I don't give a shit). It's a fantastic place to live, but sometimes my residency is threatened when my romantic life presents challenges. But, my foundation becomes more sturdy as I navigate each challenge. It's a journey rather than a destination, and I'm still human after all. 3/31/17

Hot Chocolate

I was at Chocolati (cayenne hot chocolate = yummy) last night and feel the need to report that I saw one of the most amazing looking men I've ever seen in Seattle. Of course, he was brown. I resisted my initial desire to inquire if he was involved in an arranged marriage. I even paraphrased the question in my head: "Hi! I'm Heidi. If you aren't already married to your cousin, will you be participating in an arranged marriage?" If he said yes, my plan was to beat him down in a fit of displaced anger, but then I thought better of it: he had a very muscular upper body with big, bulky arms and a very lovely broad chest and shoulders. He would have crushed me in five seconds flat. He was taller than me, probably around age 25 or 30, had short black hair, and amazingly long eye lashes protruding from his big brown eyes. Yes, I was salivating. If I was my friend BB, I would have needed a bib. He was reading alone so I'm guessing he was single (as if reading alone in Chocolati = single; and I call myself a scientist...humph) but given my current state of frustration with brown skinned men, I just admired his molten hot chocolate yumminess and left it at that. Baby steps...
