Hi I'm Lisa and this is my single life,

or actually, Draw My Single Life.

Confused yet?

Don't be.

If you haven't seen the first season of my series,

The Single Life, you are in the right place.

A lot happened in season one,

so let me catch you up to speed.

It all started with a dating profile.

Or actually, it started with my friend Carly forcing me

to make an online dating profile.

It was terrifying, lots of creepy old men

and dudes without cars or good credit.

And then I stumbled upon Kip, aka The Kipster,

according to his screen name,

thankfully it wasn't a sign of bad things to come.

He was handsome, had a great build,

his hobbies didn't consist of anything involving amphibians,

definitely a plus, so I sent him a message.

Or maybe he messaged me.

You know, it's been a while, I can't even remember.

Anyway, we eventually moved from profile to email

to G-chat to actual phone-on-phone communication

and after lots of phone numbers going back and forth

and some singing from Kip which was a little weird

but whatever, ultimately I decided that

meeting him in person was worth the risk.

I bring you to our first date.

He brought flowers, paid for dinner,

yep, I was hooked, doesn't take a whole lot to nail me down.

We were on from there on out.

We became a couple, did pretty much everything together,

but one thing was missing, couple friends.

The problem is, we didn't even have any mutual friends,

so we decided to create a couple

out of our besties, Brent and Carly.

Funny thing was, our plan almost backfired

thanks to some very weird events.

Brent found Carly's selfies in a robot costume

and Carly found Brent's selfies of him flexing on the beach.

Not to mention Carly looked into Brent's phone

on the first date, which is so crazytown.

Fortunately, the only bad thing she could find

was that he overused emoticons, which, to her credit,

is a very very annoying thing for a dude to do.

I mean, too many smilies, not my thing.

Anyway, Kip and I were in a good place

so we just took it upon ourselves to give Brent and Carly

the nudge they needed and teach them

how to effectively flirt via text.

Oh, and I had to teach Carly the art

of waiting exactly three hours before you can respond.

You know, girl's gotta play a little hard to get.

Brent and Carly are looking good

and then, oh yeah, the unthinkable happened.

I was perusing Facebook and a link to Spanktube

pops up on Kip's Facebook page.

Okay, look, I know guys are into porn

but I didn't think they continued looking at porn

while they were still in a relationship.

I thought something was wrong with me.

Carly introduces me to SnapChat and I take my first

highly sexual photo, only to find out later that Kip never

even saw it because he was distracted and it got erased

before he could even look down at his phone, dummy.

Anyway, at this point,

everything that can go wrong is going wrong,

it's like a relationship hurricane of epic proportions.

Carly sees a scandalous Instagram of Brent and another girl

with the caption BBLS, which we thought

could mean any number of things, right?

Big boobs like sex, brunch brunch lickety like socks,

brunch buddy loves sex, I don't even know.

Turns out, BBLS just stands for Big Brother Little Sister

and all the stress was over nothing.

It was Brent and his sister in the photo.

Either way, the damage was done.

Brent was upset and got wasted and left Carly

an embarrassing voicemail, admits he vomited in her bathtub

and then dumped a pair of dirty underwear

in her parents' dumpster, yeah I know,

it was all just all over the place, very weird.

Kip and I didn't even know what to do

so we just told them we thought they should make

their relationship official to avoid all future drama.

And much to our surprise, they went for it.

So that's pretty much where we end here.

Best friends and pretty happy in our world of coupledom.

So much for the single life, right?

At least until now, that is.
