Happy Hanuka!

For weeks and weeks (and weeks), Jesse has been excitedly updating me on 1)  the number of days until Hanuka, 2) the number and nature of the presents she got her girl and 3)  the status of said presents.  We’ve had the ups of those days when a flash of brilliance had landed another gift [...]

Jesse’s Girl

Yesterday I was talking with Jesse and she not-so-casually mentioned that she hadn’t seen her name in my blog in a very long time.  Although I should point out how weird it is to have a real life friend (besides Kyle) who reads my blog (and comments on it in our day-to-day conversations,) asking about [...]

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 [...]

Just a few weeks remain of 2009, a year that’s brought me to my knees with pain, fear and ecstasy.  I’m ready, eager to jump off into the unknown that will be 2010, eager to see where the maelstrom will drop me off, and eager to see how long the ride might last. A little [...]

Love Lines

Jesse and I have been friends for a long time, despite our differences. At first she was just a crush, a cute butch who had caught my eye, but, over the years as I’ve gotten to know her better, we’ve become very close. We talk nearly every day and I love texting her with inappropriate [...]

When I was 6 or 7, perhaps younger, I learned what sex was: A boy puts his (giggle) into my (giggle) and then we have a baby. That was sex, exactly as my mom and the folks in the science department at school explained to me every chance they got, using state of the art [...]

Introductions

It has been pointed out to me, more than once, that it’s a pain in the *&#$% to try to remember all the initials I use in my blog, especially as I seem to collect “friends” like some people collect pennies. So I have spent the last month or two musing on new names for [...]

Cleaning

Today’s the day when my body has realized there’s no brand-new life inside me. Despite the evidence of the past 2 years, my insides continue to believe that pregnancy is imminent and prepare for the child my husband went to painful lengths to prevent. And so, every 23 days I spend a day feeling like [...]

Greedy

“You’re not gay, you’re just greedy.” Jesse was not happy with me and, as usual, she had no interest in hiding it. “You’re ruining it for all of us.” And by us she meant the people who were *really* gay – the ones who only love women. i remember, back in college, being so excited [...]
