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 [...]
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 [...]
REALISTIC
“Do you think I’m a pessimist or an optimist?” I asked my boyfriend last night. He paused and answered, “A little of both.” Not the answer I wanted to hear. I was always regarded, or at least self-regarded, as a heart-pounding idealist. A girl who dreams big and believes anything is possible. I felt defensive. “It’s [...]
WHAT THE HECK SHOULD WE TALK ABOUT?
So many interesting things happened in the last two weeks of not writing the blog. 1. I made out with some random guy from the Republic of Georgia at a strip club. Yes, I realize that makes me sound like complete whore, but I can honestly say it was very innocent. Well, not very innocent, [...]
GETTING DIVORCED IN A UPS STORE
I feel like I’m on speed. This writing might sound like I’m throwing up on the page, but that’s because I just took two aerobic ass-crunching classes and then a spin class on 5 hours of sleep. Why? Why did I do such masochistic and extreme things to myself? Because my ass is getting to [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
IT HAS BEEN 5 WEEKS
It has been 5 weeks since my husband left. I know I shouldn’t be writing about this, so says my friends, and probably my better half. The truth is I feel so heavy today. There are so many great things going on around me, and in my professional career: The excitement about my calendar flushes [...]
