This isn’t really for me. Well, yes it is.
But seriously. I was reading DC legend Kathryn’s archives the other day, and she described in detail breakup lines she’d been fed over the years. AWFUL. And then her readers responded in kind, sharing the most damaging and personal situations, as well as the most vivid displays [...]

It’s All About You

Wart not, want not

I drink a fair bit. As a result, I smoke cigarettes a little. A fair bit.Let me not get ahead of myself.
Last Tuesday, I drank a fair bit. And as a girl is prone to do, I scoured the shower, AND that part of the flat stove top that gets a little bit black and [...]
Mama’s Family
09.20.06 –
Someone at work asked me where I was from the other day.
“Jersey, beeeeooooootch!” I replied while slapping my own ass in full view of the Xerox and the paper slicer.
In my dreams.
“I’m from New Jersey.” I curtsied and then spit into my dip cup.
“Oh,” she said. I didn’t ask why. She offered. “I’ve just never [...]
Making Change
09.18.06 –
I can’t make up my mind.
(You don’t sound shocked.)
I won’t waste your time with lots of Carrie Bradshaw set-up, where the reader must withstand six minutes of bad fashion/boobs/latte intros before getting to the meaty question of the episode (e.g., So his constant clinginess had me and the girls wondering, are our hours really ours?)
Crickets.
I’m [...]
I’ve Got Nothing
09.15.06 –
Well, I do have a full social calendar this weekend, but what I really want most is rest. Respite. Not leaving the house. A huge comforter and unlimited CSIs. A Diet Coke fountain soda machine and a hot pizza delivery. And a weekend full of being clean without really having to go through the effort [...]
On Dating and Lower Mandibles
09.13.06 –
I have officially, certifiably, unquestionably, indubitably given up on dating. Scratch. On men other than my two male friends and my father. And Paul Newman.
How difficult can finding a mate be?
Woman seeking Man. Ahem.
Preferred candidates will:
– Be 336+ months old– Yearn to travel; possess an incessant drive to see most of at least the Northern [...]
"Time has gone on, but life hasn’t."
09.11.06 –
Every anniversary of 9/11 brings out different emotions in me. The horror is pretty constant, but my focus over the years has clearly shifted from the how bad must it have been in there for people to have thought their better option was jumping 100 stories to their deaths? to the emotional aftermath. The children, [...]
Sweet Baby Jebus, I Know It’s a Trite Entry and Everyone’s Doing It, But . . .
09.07.06 –
So I can’t tell if I was right, or horribly, porridgey wrong.
Please tell me first that we can acknowledge that all babies are not, by virtue, CUTE. If we can agree on this, we can all move forward together. We’re walking, we’re walking . . .
And so it is with Suri Cruise.
Please tell me [...]
