  • Lucky in Love: Screaming It from the Rooftops!

    Dear Readers,   I have found LOVE. TRUE LOVE.   It all has happened so quickly. It’s whirlwind of romance.   See, this guy flaked out on me but then said he was interested and then flaked out on me again, but today, TODAY, he has emailed twice and left a voicemail explaining his dog…

  • To My Dearest, Part 4

    It’s been almost a year since you entered my life causing chaos and laughter and destruction Today I realized you are a relief in a way inexplicable My heart has eased its aching enough to be to be confused by easy emotions and images of closure enough to be glad that anger is not the…

  • Inaudible, I Know

    Inaudible I know In their voices I know A sad, fierce look in their eyes I know   The problem with my hobby of suffering through heartache is that I remind others of their own past relationship traumas (a saving grace is most of them are in good, healthy relationships now). I’ve finally realized when…

  • Man-Forgiveness Policy

    I had an epiphany. Again. It occurred to me as I was listening to the ends and outs of a loan forgiveness program where teachers who are employed in high-need areas have their student loans repaid (forgiven). What every single woman and gay man needs to do is establish a Man-Forgiveness Policy for which each potential…

  • He Thinks, She Thinks: More on Bitterness

    If I weren’t so self-involved, I’d ask you how you were. I’d ask you how you feel about the stimulus package and Oprah and landscaping and your family.

  • Overdue

    Due warning: this is NOT a creative or funny post. Unless you want to be subjected to paragraphs and paragraphs of endless venting and bitching, go ahead and move on to someone else’s blog and come back here soon. I adore you, dear reader; I just have issues that the medication is not smothering at…

  • Disconnect

    So he’ll be leaving soon when he’s been gone all along.   For a flash of a second, someone turned the blaring overhead lights on when I had painstakingly taken measures to make sure the room was dim.   Low lighting hides all flaws or at the very least, softens them. What’s seen in starkness…

  • To My Dearest, Part 2

    *Written by emerging poet extraordinaire, Straight Up Carol To my dearest. Fuck you for leaving me.  I actually loved you.  I actually loved you and that is why I am hurting so much even now after all this time. You seem to be doing fine and I am still openly hurting. Fuck you for not…
