  • Penny for Your Pensive Thoughts, Patrice

    A continuation of my interview series with bloggers. Patrice is an artist who I deeply admire and wanted to give her what exposure I could. 1. Patrice, how long have you been blogging? How has your own blog changed your life and how have other blogs changed your life? I arrived in blogland via a…

  • For the Life and Love of Bunny-Love: an Interview with the Magnicent B.R. Belletryst

    I’ve been inspired by many of my fellow bloggers and my precious Bunny-Love (who considers me Mother and Poetic Grin his Other Mother, for he is the logical love child of the unnatural union of Bryan and me) has generously answered my probing questions with grace and good humor. 1. There was a skit on…

  • Our Gal Val

    So, I asked and she said yes. And so it is a pleasure to unveil our Val, our rightly nightly warrior. The one who speaks with truth beyond the Fucking Bullshit. I love her and this interview. Which makes sense as Val is perfectly loveable, as you well know, dear readers. Please give it up…

  • Self-Serve

    I sometimes wonder if I’ve made an impact on any of the men’s lives I’ve dated. I don’t understand man emotions because they have never been explained to me, but I wonder if I’ve caused them pain or sadness. In such times, I take comfort in the possibility that I might have mattered in some…

  • Get It Right, Girl (or Boy): A Little Ditty with 1writegirl

    In my continuing James Lipton-channeling interviews with fellow bloggers, I’ve had the pleasure of picking 1writegirl’s mind in typical ML seriousness/silliness. Be prepared to laugh and think, dear reader. Enjoy…and I know you will. 1. I’ve heard people say that they can’t write because they haven’t had anything terrible happen to them…or at least nothing…

  • Phrases Sure to Confuse The Straight Man

    “Don’t you think orphaned Asian children are the cutest things ever?” “I have been wanting to introduce you two for a while now. This is my lovechild, Bunny, who I share custody of with his other mother, Bryan.” [It’s the Other Mother part that is confusing, not the Honey-Bunny part.] “Do you ever have questions…

  • Beneath the Bark: The Rooting of Uncle Tree

    Over the course of the last two weeks or so, I have had the pleasure of being involved in a fantastic discussion about writing and living well. As interviews go, this one offers insight and sincerity, and I hope you, dear reader, appreciate the self-depricating wisdom of our very own Uncle Tree. #1. What made…

  • SuckerPunch: What To Do, What To Do

    It’s happened. A continuation of a saga I thought was as over as it was going to be. Maybe it’s predictable. But the wind is knocked out of me and I feel as though my life depends on how I recover my breath. My ex-boyfriend emailed me, asking how the world was treating me. When…

  • swallow

    I swallow a deep sob because some things are best swallowed. That’s not dirty, swallowing. Take it down, your medicine. Kind words make me sad because I can feel the hard edges of them. I can feel the tenderness of my own soul, and I wish I was just a hair harder. Which makes no…

  • time spent

    bored not hurting anybody scrolling through the numbers in my phone   I saw the name had forgotten the name already was surprised it was there in my phone when she no longer is here  on earth   I pressed delete before I could think too much time spent thinking   how long will it…
