A song that unites a generation of 30something women
“Oh look,” I pointed to the TV above our heads. “That’s kind of phallic.”
“Yes,” the TTHM said.
“Is this American Girl?” The sound was hard to hear
“I believe it is.”
I immediately started singing and shrugging my shoulders to the beat, at least the one in my head. “She was an American girl raised on promises. She [...]
The skanky bowl
Even though I know how it all ends, I still think of that night as one of those defining moments in my life. It was the first real romantic night I’d ever experienced. Of all the things that fly through my mind when I hear the opening jangly bits of “I Will Dare,” that night [...]

I’m not sure if this cold that has leveled me is karmic payback for being witness to the book burning or if it’s just the side-effects of a weakened immune system caused by being a shut in. What I do know is that I picked the bug up at Seamus’ party which was filled with [...]
Read moreSoup
I made some soup today. It was a kind of a minestrone filled with most all the vegetables I enjoy or at least the TTHM would have called it minestrone.
Back when we were in the thick of our totally not romantic relationship the TTHM and I would talk on the phone every night for [...]
Sometimes the fates give you exactly what you need
For the past week or so someone has been doing some in-depth research here on iwilldare.com about the TTHM. I don’t know who it is. It’s been fascinating watching the mystery searcher plunder through seven years of archives.
The mystery searcher is not the legendary TTHM. I asked him. This has, of course made the [...]
if flannery blogged
For the TTHM: If Flannery O’Connor had a blog, she’d need someone there to shoot her, I am sure. [via]
Read moreA list of things I want to write about as soon as I have time
From my beloved Upper Class calendar:
Seeing the TTHM
The last goodbye
Hemingway
The slamming poets
Westernerd Convention, game day menu, and being a regular
New calendar/old calendar
Laughing poets
Be Kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle
Epiphanies complete with Ryan Adams’ soundtrack
Sometimes it’s hard to go back and trace your thought process and try to find the beginning of an idea. It’s like when you’re sitting with your friends and you start talking about something you read in the newspaper and the next thing you know you’re all singing “Eye of the Tiger” for reasons nobody [...]
Read moreToday in celebrity birthdays
Today we celebrate the births of:
• Bret Favre, cute Greenbay Packer quarterback
• Thelonious Monk, jazz guy of undetermined atractiveness
• TTHM, tall tall handsome man who was my life for nearly an entire summer, sometime ago. I would say he’s my all-time favorite ex, but since our relationship was only romantic for about 4 seconds calling [...]
An evening of pure titillation
My all-time, top-titillating #1 fetish is being read to. No lie. Someone starts to read something and my core gets all melty and my knees get a little weak. Once, when I was much younger than I am right now I kissed a fellow gas station attendant while we were working merely because he started [...]
Read morebeing nostalgic for 2004 is so much bullshit
Some two years ago, I used to spend a lot of time lounging about with my hand down my pants watching Dawson’s Creek or talking on the phone.
Last night that’s exactly what I did and it was totally awesome. I felt like I was 31 again.
(okay, okay, I know. What kind of asshole gets nostalgic [...]
what’cha gonna spend your free life on?
since friday, i have been listening to the Live Current Vol. 1 CD on repeat. specifically, i’ve been listening to Dan Wilson’s song “Free Life.”
i am in love with this song. i’m generally a Dan Wilson fan anyway. . . even way back in the way back when Trip Shakespeare days. and i do [...]
the hits keep coming
first of all, when i came home tonight after a 4 hour meeting at work where i laughed so hard my cheeks hurt i melted into a puddle. there in my mailbox was a red envelope. a valentine from my very much-adored TTHM. so yeah, some people never forget.
second of all, my iTrip is missing. [...]
missing him
the McLusky song “She Will Only Bring You Happiness” just came on Kathleen Turner Overdrive and all of sudden like a kick in the gut, i missed the TTHM so much that my eyes started to water. so i e-mailed him. i hope he responds.
Read moredanger lurking in every corner — the perils of packing
like an archaeologist i keep digging through the strata in my life. however, unlike the archaeologist, the longer i dig the newer stuff i find. the old stuff i attack first, that’s easier. so long removed it’s hard to feel anything but warm nostalgia. but i realized everything from 1995 to the present can still [...]
