DIVORCED IS A PERMANENT STATUS AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
When you get divorced, you want it over. You don’t want to be married anymore, that’s the point. You feel tarnished, socially embarrassed and like a failure, but that’s your opinion and you really don’t want anyone else’s. I find that forms remind me of my divorce. I went to the dentist recently and the [...]
I NEED TO LIVE ALONE
I went to look at an apartment tonight to share with a roommate in a cool area in Los Angeles. On the way home, I stopped by 7-Eleven and grabbed some soda and pretzels. I couldn’t wait to get home to my place. To my cats. To my home. To my big room with wood [...]
STOP THE PRESSES! I HUNG SHIT UP!
That’s right. After 4 months of living in my new place, I hung shit up. The cork board was leaning against my wall for the past 12 weeks. Today, after eating 30 cookies to get the “strength” and “willpower” to hang it, I finally pulled out my trusty hammer, level and nails and put that [...]
WHO AM I WITHOUT ALL MY STUFF?
This title makes me sound materialistic, but I’m not talking about Prada shoes and Louis Vuitton Bags. I am talking about nostalgia. I’m talking about the monkey stuffed animal my first boyfriend gave me or a frame that holds a new painting, but once held a note from a lover. I’m talking about photos from a [...]
THE ORIENTAL RUG
There’s a rolled up Oriental rug in the corner of my new apartment. I can’t decide if I should toss it, donate it or use it until I get enough money to buy a really nice rug. The cats sleep on it and it’s the perfect color brown-doodee like the rest of the furniture. I [...]
HI I’M RELUCTANT AND I’VE BEEN FARTING AWAY MY TIME AND NOT WRITING THIS BLOG!
God, what a self-damning title. Okay, I HAVE NOT been farting away my time. I moved apartments on the 29th of December, I bought a new car, I cried about my transition and I sorted through boxes of writing, clothes, papers and sad memories. I kept saying, “When I’m all set up with cable, I’m [...]
JUST IN CASE PLAYBOY ASKS ME TO “TAKE OFF MY PANTS” AND OTHER STORIES.
Hi Y’All! Just got back from getting waxed! And eating everything in the fridge! Cause that’s what pain makes me do. I was slacking in the “wax department” if that’s possible. That’s what Margie, my waxer, told me. “HUH!” Margie gasped, “How long has it been since you’ve been in???” She acted like I had [...]
THE FREEDOM OF BEING A WOMAN
Can I tell you something? I never dated. I always locked eyes with the boys I met. We had a connection, we went on a date, we kissed and he was my boyfriend. For about 1-3 years we dated. Were we a great match? Yes and no. I liked having a buddy. We fought, we [...]
L’SHANA TOVA! HAPPY 5769!
Hi Folks! Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is a time of contemplation, prayer and celebration. It’s a little different than the typical New Year, as it’s less about a party (which is nice too) and more about self-reflection. Following Rosh Hashanah are the Ten Days of Awe. The ten days until Yom Kippur that are [...]
"A FALL CHAT WITH JAMIE," by Jamie
So, what’s up? Not much. Wicked tired. I’ve been working hard. Cool. So, it’s Autumn now. Are you excited? I guess I am. I love seeing orange-colored cookies, and leaves, and the whole Fall thing. I grew up in Wayland, Massachusetts. A small, New England town, and I have lovely memories of the trees changing [...]
TALKING CATS!
