You are tall enough to hold the subway pole way over my head out of comfort, not necessity. Is it possible to tell the future from the lines in your wrist and heel of your hand instead of your palm? You have on what might be and expensive watch, but I can’t tell. The band…

#26 – Domestic Abuse
TRIGGER WARNING: DOMESTIC ABUSE Hey y’all, this usually lighthearted post has taken a turn for the dark this week. Please note the trigger warning and skip if it is not something you can handle. [In no particular order, except for number one because that’s my #1] Note: This piece will be written using gender neutral…
The Price of Honor
In 2007 two best friends parted ways for the first time in 7 years. One was off to Thailand for a study abroad program and the other for her first year of college in her home state. Though 12 hours apart the two friends were determined to stay in touch and remain close. One way…
Dear Heat/Global Warming/Weather
Dear Heat/Global Warming/Weather, Could you knock it off please? I am a “young, up-and-coming professional,” which just means I got little to no expendable income, and my apartment did not come with AC. I am dying here. I come home late and spread out starkers in front of my fan, and barely have the energy…
One Time!
Farley wandered into her roommate’s bedroom and face-planted in her bed, whining loudly. Anne ignored her until Farley started poking her nonstop. “What is it, Farley?” Ann asked as she bookmarked her page. “My dick is three states away,” Farley whimpered, rolling her head to the side so Anne could hear her. “Your…dick?” Anne was…

Dear Jane, I cannot believe I fall so low on your list of craft recipients. Whatever happened to hos before bros, and sisters before everyone else? I do understand and relate to your lamentations about how laundry, food, and enough sleep can very seriously cramp your creative flow. I love…
#27 – Evil Doppelganger/Imposter
I don’t know if I told you all how this list came into existence, but better now than never. The top reasons for normals to not date supers started when I was still working at the coffee shop. I think it was a really slow Sunday (all Sundays are slow when you open at 7am…
Hey Inconsiderate Shithead
Hey Inconsiderate Shithead – Turn that shit off. It is 7:45 in the morning and you are playing fucking candy crush with your sound on and no headphones. Some of us just want a quiet morning commute without having to be part of your inane obsession. The girl in front of me looks like she…
Evil Genius Gynecologist
It was like her first appointment all over again. Her mother holding her hand, Dr. Martins between her legs, and her feet were back up in the stirrups. Farley watched her gynecologist closely as the woman examined the painful, sore bump that had appeared down there. Farley couldn’t understand how the fuck she got an…
Work is Really Cramping my Crafting Time

Dear Libby, I have been diligently working on my Christmas Stocking for Gavin and you can see the progress has been slow but steady. It is difficult to limit myself to only an hour of stitching each night. As each stitch is laid the picture develops more fully beneath my fingers…
Summery
Beautiful calf-length summer dress, airy with a circle dash pattern that looks abstractly like lollipops. Strappy, three inch, medium brown leather sandals with three flowers on the top of the shoe. A Vera Bradley-esque purse in her lap, candy crush on her phone. A silver crucifix around her neck. Short, wavy auburn hair in a…
