OBEDIENCE

OBEDIENCE

I remember seeing the book one day on the floor of our living room. It was buried under piles of The Boston Globe that my father was one day going to read. My sister now says, “Dad’s a hoarder. You didn’t know that?!“ Believe me, if I had any ability to diagnose my parents at [...]

I NEED TO LIVE ALONE

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 [...]

I DON’T WANT TO GET A DIVORCE FOR FEAR OF FACEBOOK’S BROKEN HEART. IT’S TOO EMBARRASSING.

I DON’T WANT TO GET A DIVORCE FOR FEAR OF FACEBOOK’S BROKEN HEART. IT’S TOO EMBARRASSING.

Anyone here on “Facebook”? Probably most of you. If you are, then you have seen the little red heart that indicates a relationship status, i.e. “John is now married,” or “John is engaged.“ There is another heart. A broken heart with a lighting bolt through it. It represents things like, “John is now single,” and [...]

THE TRUTH. HOW SEEMINGLY UNATTRACTIVE.

THE TRUTH. HOW SEEMINGLY UNATTRACTIVE.

What is the truth? What we’re not ashamed to admit? It took an almost complete stranger, an acquaintance, to tell me to shoot my calendar the way I have and want. To do my own make-up and to look like me. To not use a professional photographer. If I want to play in a different [...]

DUH DUH…DUH DUH…I’LL BITE YOUR HEAD OFF!

DUH DUH…DUH DUH…I’LL BITE YOUR HEAD OFF!

IS THAT A SHARK??? No! It’s my attitude at this “time” of the month. I’ll make no bones about it. I’m a tough cookie. I want chocolate, and I want it now! You want to hang out? No! Cause I don’t feeeeel good. Don’t make fun of me, or I’ll bite your head off. Is [...]

WHO LOVES UNSOLICITED ADVICE??? NOT ME!

WHO LOVES UNSOLICITED ADVICE??? NOT ME!

Be warned this post may sound a little angry, but if I don’t get this short manifesto off my shoulders, I tend to linger on an idea for days. I’ve come to a point in my life where I don’t love unsolicited negative advice. For example, many people told me that moving from NYC to [...]

WRITING MAKES ME NOT CRAZY

WRITING MAKES ME NOT CRAZY

I have trouble in groups. I just got back from a weekend trip to San Francisco with six people. Well, we met them there. But I don’t do well in groups. Not for 16 hours a day or more. I feel a bubbling eruption of panic. “God, get me out of here,” repeats in my [...]

YOU KNOW WHAT I’M PISSED ABOUT?

YOU KNOW WHAT I’M PISSED ABOUT?

This is regretful writing, but I’m pissed that my sister was pissed that I sent it to her friends. Errr. She said that is my “blog” is too personal and she doesn’t think they would like it. And I shouldn’t have sent it to them…”no offense.” Errr. Can I have a trade-sy for a day? [...]

TAKING A BREAK TO WORK AN EXTREMELY EXHAUSTING TEMP JOB!

TAKING A BREAK TO WORK AN EXTREMELY EXHAUSTING TEMP JOB!

I’m taking a break from my awesome life of sleeping late, taking a mid-afternoon run, sipping on a nice coffee with steamed soy milk to work a temp job. (I just started drinking coffee three months ago, which co-incidentally coincided with my panicky attacks, and although my husband convinced me to start by telling me, [...]
