#NerdsUnite: Minute Mingle with Meghan Brown
Friday, June 24, 2011 at 12:10PM
Meghan Brown is a comedic writer based in LA. She has no idea why but her friends always ask her for advice, and instead of letting those gems slip through the cracks, I've decided to give her an advice column. (Have no fear however, she's also going to be providing a weekly nerdy pop culture column as well. The chick has some SERIOUS cred.) Plus, she's hot. That helps ... a lot.
So. Nobody needed any advice this week. Everyone was just doing fine on their own. Well. Fine. Whatever.
No big deal. SEE IF I CARE. (...but I do.)
I realize that asking you all to submit questions before properly introducing myself may have been in slightly bad form, so weʼre going to backtrack a bit and have a nice little getting-to-know-you chat.
My name is Meghan.
I have a cat named Frankie who Iʼm totally obsessed with, whatever, I donʼt care. Call me a crazy cat lady. I dare you.
I am single for the first time in five years and I have no idea what that even means.
I am moving on Friday to the worldʼs cutest guest house in Atwater Village in LA, which is awesome because Iʼve been living in the skeleton of my old apartment after my roommate moved out June 1st and took every (and I mean every) piece of furniture with her. Then my boyfriend moved out and took the TV.
Iʼve been eating on the floor. Itʼs time to get out of here.
Before being a wild monogamist, I had many boy-related adventures. I have dated: a porn extra, a pro poker player, an OLDER MAN (gasp), a surfer dude, a guy whose English was completely unintelligible, a mathematician, a vandal, and about nine different drummers. I have seen it all and I know you have too.
I also give really good advice for a variety of reasons.
Reason #1: Iʼm noisy.
Reason #2: I have tons of opinions.
Reason #3: Iʼm not smart enough to keep my mouth shut.
Basically: I am not qualified to give advice, but Iʼm going to do it anyway. So help a woman out. Letʼs be friends! Email your questions at rantfox@gmail.com and weʼll get this party started.

"No big deal. SEE IF I CARE. (...but I do.)"
Nooo. You're supposed to keep your poker face at all times. Ughh, you're doing it all wrong. Ha ha.
"I am single for the first time in five years and I have no idea what that even means."
Well, this will be an interesting time of Discovery for you. Are you interesting in dating right away, unsure of how to find your way through this world without a strong arm to help you through or are you going the strong, independent woman (i.e. Carrie in several seasons of SATC) route for awhile, maybe date casually.. nothing serious?
I'm leaning towards the latter since you've forgotten what's it's like to have butterflies, to have guys jump in front of you just so that you don't get your stilettos wet in a moist puddle, or the mere fact you've been with ONE man this entire time, so why not switch things up a bit and see what else is out there. Smart move. Almost as smart a move as to your new cute guest house.
