PREGNANT IN LA
I imagine what it would be like to be pregnant in LA. This wouldn’t be a normal thought for me if I didn’t have a boyfriend who desires kids and to move back to Los Angeles ASAP after I graduate from my MFA program in NYC. I am also 35, which didn’t seem like a [...]
MY TRIP TO LA
On March 3rd, the inaugural day of my school’s Spring Break, I took a trip to Los Angeles with my boyfriend. I did not want to go for several reasons and anyone who knows my boyfriend, or me, or has had any contact with us in the last 8 months (especially the inhabitants of [...]
THE HENRY SOFA
The West Elm Henry Sofa is more than a couch (sorry, sofa) — for me, it’s commitment during an unsure time, and for my boyfriend, muuuuch needed comfort. I’m fine without comfort — if I had to sit on the floor and eat, fine, or sleep in sheets that are disgusting (I mean, my dog [...]
KNOCKED UP AROUND PALM TREES
I am trying to picture myself pregnant in LA. Shopping carts; heat; white lines on pavement; strolling carts; beach options; family. Often people say they want to be buried in a certain place. It’s probably where they should live. I used to tell my boyfriend, “Don’t you dare bury me in Los Angeles. Please bury me on [...]
MOVING BACK TO NYC AND FUCKING THINGS UP AGAIN
I’m sitting in the Second Stop Cafe in Williamsburg, Brooklyn writing on a napkin. A big, brown paper towel/napkin. I’m checking my shoulder ’cause my boyfriend may walk in and mess up this writing. Why would he mess it up? ‘Cause I’m trying to write this blog again. As you see, I stopped writing this [...]
DRAGONFLY COCK RINGS
Immediately after I began dating my boyfriend last year I met a female friend of his, who shortly after being introduced, joked about having a threesome with my boyfriend and me. She wasn’t toxic, although that sounds terribly toxic; she was fun and she had a boyfriend who was kinda’ famous. I wasn’t sure if she [...]
GO FUCK YOURSELF, DIET COKE!
I have a feeling that you may read this and think, “I quit soda in high-school. What’s this girl’s problem?” or, “I didn’t think Jamie would be the kind of girl to drink diet soda.” Well, I am, or I was. My friends know I drink soda; I order it at every meal. It’s like [...]
MY STANCE ON MARRIAGE
I remember the first phone conversation I had with my ex-husband. It lasted all night. He asked me if I had a “wedding book.” “What’s that?” I asked. “It’s what girls keep to plan their dream wedding.” “Ha, I don’t have one of those. I’ve never really thought about that.” Something about that question – the [...]
GOODBYE PORN. (AT LEAST FOR NOW.)
A few weeks ago I realized I stopped watching porn. When I look back at my life I have a tendency to romanticize the past. “Huh, I miss those days,” I wistfully sighed. I thought back to my nights or early mornings alone in my Queen-size bed in my one-bedroom in West Hollywood: free, single [...]
THE BATHTUB
Sunday morning. I’m trying to create more balance in my life. Trying to be happier, though I shun the word. Shun it because it feels like sticky putty – something you’re stuck in, as fake and brittle as botox. But I’m trying. I sound not unlike a depressed person on the Dr. Oz show. I [...]
FINISHING THE BOOK
“I just want to burn it,” I said to my boyfriend in bed last night. “I just want it all to go away.” “I know,” he comforted, “But maybe it will go away if you write it.” I tried to explain to him: “I’ve been writing this book for ten years. Why am I doing [...]
“BABY” IS A DIRTY WORD
I have rewritten this post three times. I’m starting over again. I have this feeling that I have never had before. Maybe it’s boredom, stagnancy in my projects…I don’t know. I’ve had friends, many friends, who have had this feeling and I’ve just nodded and assured, “One day, that will come.” Now, I find this [...]
