Orienteering

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , on December 4, 2009 | 2 Comments »

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 [...]

Easy Cheesy

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , on October 7, 2009 | 4 Comments »

I recently closed a chapter in my romantic life and my feelings have been all over the board.  Having more than one love in my life doesn’t insulate me from all the same feelings over a breakup that everyone else feels.  When I get sad I tend to cope with humor, and so, one night [...]

Someone To Talk To

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , on September 22, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Some folks are built like onions, with layers of personality and feelings, while others act more like dictatorships, coldly navigating the treacherous waters of emotion like a mercenary out for treasure.  As for me, well…I’m definitely a suburban PTA.  I don’t have personalities – I have subcommittees.  There’s the mom committee, and the teacher committee, [...]

The Care and Feeding of Cave People

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , on September 2, 2009 | 3 Comments »

I am a cave person. My father is also a cave person, as was his father before him and, I assume, his father before him. Coming of age around physicists, engineers and mathematicians, I was surrounded by cave people in my formative years, and now I work in a field chock full of folks who [...]

Monday Rant

…wherein I shamelessly complain about anything and everything and swear a lot.   Those with delicate constitutions would be advised to go check out today’s LOLCatz or something of a similarly inoffensive nature. 1)  The man who hired me 14 years ago, a wonderful, beautiful man, passed away this week after a lingering illness.  Not only [...]

Becoming

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , on August 30, 2009 | 5 Comments »

Yesterday morning, I woke up with my head full of poetry.  In my dream, someone had told it to me, and I was trying to remember it so I could write it down when I woke up (lately I’ve been so tired I can only dream half-lucidly – I know I’m dreaming but I don’t [...]

Introductions

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , on August 28, 2009 | 6 Comments »

I have to admit that I felt a bit of trepidation about attending Butch Voices last week, and a significant part of it came from a less-than-noble place in my gut.  Surrounded by so many handsome guys, I worried that I might lose my interest in my loves at home.  Of course, we all know [...]

Collar

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged on August 8, 2009 | 7 Comments »

Without turning around, I could tell she was watching me.  I was at the pet store to find just the right collar, something in a rusty orange that would feel heavy but comfortable, and the confused clerk was watching me try them on myself, testing each one for feel and length.  Soon I decided on [...]

Thank you

Real life has been very hard lately, and I owe what little sanity I have left to a small group of very dear imaginary friends who have patiently listened to me as I try to work through what’s left of my psyche and my marriage. And by “Imaginary friends” I mean friends who sit behind [...]
