Meet me
Hi, I’m Ega and this is my blog.
I like breakfast foods, and I fall down a lot. I am pretty much exactly like Amelia Bedelia, if Amelia Bedelia lived in Brooklyn, had a wild mop of hair, and loved Barbra Streisand and dirty martinis. An ex boyfriend of mine once told me that he was amazed that someone so clumsy could be so good in bed. It remains the best compliment I’ve ever received.
During the day, I raise money for a non-profit that is pretty cool. At night, I write things, snuggle, drink too many martinis, and look at art. I’m originally from Delaware, one of the best places in the whole world, despite the fact that poultry outnumber people there. I don’t really eat meat, but I refuse to call myself a vegetarian because I like to keep my options open (and I just ate a burger yesterday). I am always chasing that Sunday morning feeling.
I think “should” is a dirty word. Life’s too short to do anything that doesn’t make you jump for joy. You’ve got to go your own way. You’ve got to find your voice and trust it. You’ve got to go after what you want. I want to help you do that.
I’m more at home at a cocktail party than in a boardroom, so one of my life goals is to make work feel more like a party. I think that Monday and Friday should pack the same joyful punch, don’t you? I want to be in love with every single day of my life, and I want to do work that lets me feel that way. (Here’s a secret: I believe that people who love their lives all the way from Monday to Friday are happier, brighter, more sparkly people. And, maybe the key to world peace has something to do with authenticity and refusing to stuff ourselves into the molds society has created for us.)
I think that sexuality is important. Your sex life speaks volumes. Sometimes it says things you don’t want to hear, but if you pay enough attention and love yourself hard and deep, you can have a sex life that makes you more yourself. You can get what you want, both in and out of the bedroom. Loving yourself is the biggest thing; trusting yourself is up there, too. Having amazing sex is important, too.
A friend of mine once said that anyone who claims that dating is fun is a sociopath. I hate to say it, but I think that’s more or less true. I like to talk about dating because I am so bad at it. Seriously, I am so bad at it. But I’m trying to become one of those happily dating sociopaths, while not losing myself in the process. I think that dating is like anything else: You just have to be and love yourself and let the rest come through. I wouldn’t take my word for it if I were you, though.
So, I think I’ve proven myself to be what they call an unreliable source. If you’re still here, I owe you one. I hope you’ll stick around; you seem like just my type.
If you’re here to stay, you might as well sign up for Ega Jones’ RSS feed. While you’re at it, e-mail me with questions, tips, stories, and weather reports at heyitsEga[at]gmail.com, follow me on twitter, and like me on Facebook. That’s all you have to do to win my love. Not so bad, right?
