I wouldn’t say that my father plays a prominent role in my life. In fact, I would say he doesn’t play a role at all. Since my parents divorce when I was 11, our relationship has been purely surface; the occasional phone calls and some birthday cards. I have 3 older siblings and one younger, [...]

The Single Life I haven’t been at this long, dating I mean. In the past I’ve always glommed onto someone and then we were in love and before you know it we were living together. Not so anymore. I am really learning to date which means I’m learning about the woman I’m dating before [...]

I wither here like a piece of glass that the ocean waves have processed over and over again. Each pass, digging and embedding a new depth into my outer layer that I hadn’t realized was so porous. My edges are now smooth; my surface, frosted and no longer see-through. I’m pitted and rounded, and no [...]

“Thank god I’m a lesbian, because this blows!” I thought to myself. I was pulling into the parking lot of the straight world’s doom. I reached the steel gates and was greeted by about 5 women and a couple of dudes. One guy was holding a sign; the others were holding pamphlets and all of [...]

As I fill my eyes with sights of happy pedestrians on our walkways, a warm sun on my face and beautiful blue skies (the pre-mature spring fever), I think of me, last year, at this time. I was in a whole different space. Content- yes, happy-sure, in a relationship-yup, knowing me-I was half way there. [...]

This phase of my life is so interesting or perhaps funny. Dating is likely to bring on emotion and the fear of being hurt again. Does one just give up on love or go for it? I’m a lover girl so I’m going for it but along the way when I talk to people and [...]

I’ve taken a huge liking to Jersey Shore on MTV. It’s the kind of smutty reality TV that I love. It basically follows summertime fun on the Jersey Shore with a house full of Guidos and Guidettes. There is sex (hetero, but still its sex), dancing, and lots of drinking. Yup, this is just my [...]

Monogamy: noun. a marriage or sexual relationship with only one person at a time (According to Webster’s Dictionary). Yes, I did have to look that shit up! I’ve been contemplating this concept for a while now. Can one truly be happy or driven by just one person for the long term? Is there really [...]

I’ve dropped my feelings to the ground like loose change falling from my pocket. The rain came and washed away the grime that was sitting in George Washington’s facial crevasses. On a sunny day, I came back to that sidewalk; we once walked, to find those smooth, clean two thousand and ten feelings. I put [...]
