Despite two passionate attempts to break up with her, I am, remarkably, still seeing my therapist. That she is still speaking to me after all of my thrashing about and struggling (not to mention the arguing – oh, lord, has there been arguing) is a testament to her dedication to the job. This week’s homework/mantra [...]

Something surprising that’s come out in the days and weeks of talking with Theo is that, early on when I friended them on Fetlife, they were a bit intimidated by my avatar: This made me gasp and then giggle, of course, because first, I imagine myself as being somewhere between a cheese sandwich and a [...]

Believe it or not, things have actually been pretty good. Yes, I had a rough patch a bit ago (blog time 2 days = a couple weeks real time,) but I’m feeling pretty positive, and in honor of the New (Solar) Year, I wanted to list a few of the things I’ve been very grateful [...]
Out and About

I’ve known for awhile, but, like so many things, I didn’t want to believe it. It was like waking up to find my left arm missing – there was nothing subtle about it, no slow realization or gentle awakening. Quite suddenly and without warning something wasn’t there that had been – and I felt like [...]

As I was clearing out a hundred little spam monsters from my old blog, I started thinking about October of 2006. It seems like many lifetimes ago – I didn’t know Kyle, which is hard to imagine, and I was only beginning to start looking for a way out of a marriage that wasn’t working. [...]
I Know You Are, But What Am I?

Today I put on a sweater for the first time in a long time – the temperature dropped into the low 50s and I was reminded of that unfamiliar sensation of being cold. The v-neck and soft fabric made me feel quite feminine, which was also an unfamiliar sensation, and started thoughts swirling in my [...]

I have spent most of my life in the company of men. My best friends in school were frequently guys, and in college they were all guys. I loved working tech for shows, and I loved science and math, and I loved heavy metal…so the people I hung out with tended, also, to be guys. [...]
Man of the House

I was sitting at the computer on Wednesday night around 11 pm when I heard a very loud bang. It was so loud I jumped up out of my chair and spooked the cats. I immediately checked on the weasels, who were spooked, too, but fine, and then turned my attention to the garage and [...]

Most people leave the church when they want to horrify their parents – I joined one. The generation before me was rocked by feuds between brothers and cousins about which god was God, and my parents had decided to kick them all out, big Gods and small. So when I came home from a sleepover [...]

I go to the gym every weekday. I wake up at 5:45 am and head to the gym, where I get on a treadmill or an elliptical machine for 30 minutes. Years ago I broke my ankle and it never healed, which meant I had to give up running, so I tilt the treadmill up [...]
