When I was in college, I was bitten by a rabid Buddhist. This wasn’t a unique event, as UC Berkeley is bursting with college students looking for more than a degree in physics, and you’re never really sure when you meet a Kabbalist whether they’re doing it because the little red strings look good with [...]

Here Comes the

You may have heard that Washington state is on the cusp of legalizing gay marriage. This is wonderful, incredible news. Kyle’s gonna be getting married. I’m so happy for him… and I guess I thought I’d handle it better than I am. Part of it is jealousy. More of it is something else. There’s a [...]
Fear Itself

Fear and I have always had a very close, some might say romantic, relationship. Much of my crazy life has been lived at its inspiration – I soar because I’m afraid to fly. In many ways, I’m the most fearful person I know – I’m scared of airplanes, mirrors, heights and fish (yeah, go figure,) [...]
My House is Almost
Posted in Casey, Kyle, love, Theo, tagged Casey, Kyle, love, Theo on January 12, 2012 | 2 Comments »
I have not, in fact, fallen off the edge of the world. More and more I’m taking care of a house and two weasels, and waking up to the realities of my life as it was and as it is, and I am simply exhausted by the all of it all. I am also in [...]
Lucky to Be So Tired

Right now I’m trying to finish the dishes, put the weasels to bed, get the weasels to STAY in bed, and put the house right before I collapse into bed myself. It’s been a good week in general – I’m still basking in the glow from a wonderful visit from Casey and Kyle, and Theo [...]
A Drawer of One’s Own
Posted in Casey, Kyle, Visit, tagged Casey, Kyle, Visit on November 26, 2011 | 2 Comments »
For Kyle’s big visit last weekend, I put together a very special anniversary gift – his own drawer in my room. I wanted to make it very clear that he has a place in my heart *and* my home, and that I cherish the times we get to spend together. In the drawer you can [...]
Missing Him
Posted in Casey, Kyle, Visit, tagged Casey, Kyle, Visit on November 21, 2011 | 8 Comments »
Kyle left last night on an airplane – we kissed and cuddled right up to the last moment we dared and then I watched him pass through security and we stood, facing each other, talking on the phone, separated by 50 feet of glass and those bank branch security belts. We talked until the hatch [...]
Almost Ready

In just over 7 hours I’ll be greeting Kyle at the airport with a big ol’ kiss and then bringing him home with me. It sounds like a lot, but it’s flying by because I’m getting a surprise ready for him here – a belated anniversary present that’s best given in person (no, sillies, not [...]
Right Now…

Kyle and I are on Twitter celebrating our third twitterversary. Yup, three years ago tonight I met a stranger in a black cowboy hat and fell head over heels. You can read a little more about it here and here. If you scurry over there fast, you might catch a little of our shameless romanticism [...]
Checking In
Posted in Casey, Kyle, love, Theo, tagged Casey, Kyle, love, Theo on October 21, 2011 | 5 Comments »
It’s been close to a month since my last post here, in part because I simply haven’t had or taken the time to sit still and write, and in part because I’m still not sure what or how to write here. This month happens to be the 5th anniversary of my blog, and, although it’s [...]
