They want to know if I’m lonely, I think
I got lost in reverie listening to a slow, swingy song called “Shut Up and Sway Your Hips.” Once again I am back to being a Nablmo cheater. I got lost in a daydream about one of those men who disappeared with nary an excuse or a you’re just not for me. Oddly enough he [...]
Read moreYou don’t know tall: The perils of being a 6′5″ single woman
So Buzzfeed’s got a piece up on tall women dating short men. I’ve wasted most of the morning reading the posts and accompanying comments. A few of may favorites? Not wanting to date shorter men is sexist, Jezebel comments where all these 5′10″ women are talking about how hard it is to find [...]
Read moreOf human sexuality or, are you sure you’re not a lesbian?
The thing I love the most about my poetry class is going to Grumpy’s afterwards and debriefing with Polly and Peabo. Hanging out with smart, open-minded, honest women is the bomb, y’all.
Today we spent a lot of time spoojing over Jude, The Poetess. For reasons that are not quite clear, the Angry Fiction Writer got [...]
I can’t take my mind off of you
Much to my dismay, I have found myself thinking about him a lot lately. It’s the time of the year. He comes back to haunt me in June and July.
His name was Jason and while we never dated, we were sexy friends. I guess that’s the step that comes before friends with benefits, or [...]
Sometimes I think Kathleen Turner Overdrive is trying to speak to me
As I was sitting here mindlessly working away, KTO (my iPod for the uninitiated) served up “Permagrin” by self, “Hey Lou” by self, both of which I left me leaping for the fast forward button because I still can’t listen to them. And then she served up “Never Talking to You Again” by Husker [...]
Read moreOne where surely everyone is going to take it entirely wrong and be all sensitive when really I just need to vent
There are nights where I cannot be your support system, your sounding board, or your amusement. There are nights where I just need to be alone with myself and not communicate with anyone. Sometimes the neediness of people that I know is too hot and heavy for me to bear. It itches and makes me [...]
Read moreCome here mama and dig this crazy scene
We used to go to the Golden Chair because Anderla had a thing for Eau Claire rockers and I had a thing for cold, cold beer and darts. The Chair, as we called it, was owned by one of the EC Rockers, or an EC Rocker wannabe. I can’t remember anymore. Rumor was that Daddy [...]
Read moreIf only I could just think of the right opening line
It has come to my attention that while 2006 was supposed to be my year, it totally was not my year. Why? Because I had no sex with anyone other than me in all of 2006. At least so far, and there’s what like four days left in the year? (I have totally reached that [...]
Read moreMy Christmas wish for you, darling ones
I haven’t opened a single Christmas present yet, but I already got the best gift I’m gonna get this year.
You see, Saturday night I had myself a little panic attack. I was still pretty raw from my wanton Googling escapade. One minute I was bent over blow drying my hair and the next I’m [...]
Googling under the influence of slow, sappy Wilco songs can be hazardous to your mental health
There comes a time in the night after being awake for so many hours (insomnia can suck my left one) when your computer should just automatically turn off because nothing good could come from anything that you’re gonna do. Nothing.
For some reason I decided at about midnight it would be a good idea to Google [...]
Attack of the exs’ dopplegängers
One of the strange things about working in a remote office is that you spend a lot of time talking to (or chatting with we use a lot of the instant messenger) people you’ve never met in person. Since I had to skip this year’s trip to the Great White North, I missed my opportunity [...]
Read moreSuperpowers Revisited
After much thought, I have decided that I am going to change the superpower I wish that I had. For a long time I wanted the ability to flick people really hard right in the ear for any offense I deemed worthy for a really hard flick. I would be able to do the flicking [...]
Read moreShe is not weak in his wake
My most recently played list on Kathleen Turner Overdrive today includes Matthew Sweet’s “Someone to Pull the Trigger” and the girl-sung version of Elvis Costello’s “God Give Me Strength.” Eel’s “I’m Going to Stop Pretending that I Didn’t Break Your Heart” is there, along with the Mats’ “Nobody” and Dolorean’s “To Destruction.”
My sent e-mail and [...]
I do not dare journey there, when I do I have found no means of escape
Ray and I were in Ruby heading back to Sister #2’s house, when he reached over and grabbed Kathleen Turner Overdrive from the cupholder between our seats.
“Here’s a song I just need to hear,” he said.
“What?” I asked.
“You’ll see.” His non-iPod-owning fingers fumbled around the dials. “Okay, okay. Here it is.”
I held my breath, eager [...]
the set up
Though she’d deny it with every breath in her body, FFJ is setting me up tonight. The thought of which, makes my stomach ache and gives me the feeling like I need to pee. But I dated a much-older-than-me man about 100 years ago and he told the 27-year-old me that I need to do [...]
