Swallowing Down Her Pain
She looks like she is swallowing down her pain one sour and bitter mouthful at a time, her eyes downcast, holding her red (p)leather purse with black polka dots tightly. Her left hand is wrapped around the handle and her right is curled under the bottom, securing it in her lap. Her coat is a…
Wax on, Wax Off
Farley was a low-maintenance kind of girl and she liked that about herself. It didn’t take her three hours to get out of the apartment in the morning and she didn’t spend half of her paycheck on beauty supplies. Makeup was typically a once a week occurrence reserved for the days when the stars aligned…
I just want to be loved….
So come talk to me!!! Hey Y’all, It is that time again! You are allowed to talk and message me all week long, but I set aside Fridays to really push you to send me a request or ask me a random question about whatever had popped into your head. This week has been overwhelming…
Dear Fellow Feminists and Everyone Else
Dear Fellow Feminists and Everyone Else, Happy International Men’s Day. I am saying that un-ironically and hope that you can, too. There are a lot of people out there denigrating this day because “isn’t every day men’s day” and “this is like having a white history month.” Yes, if International Men’s Day applied to only…

Week of 11/13/2005 Witty one liner: Well if I called the wrong number, why’d you answer? Quote of the week: You don’t love someone because they’re beautiful, they’re beautiful because you love them.

Updaaaaate!
Hey Everyone, So sorry that I trailed off last week and didn’t post consistently. I had a busy week all the way through, but Thursday and Friday I was at a writing conference trying to learn how to get myself published and how to whore myself out pitch my work to agents and editors. It…
Pale Eyes
Pale eyes, dark hair, but the curls that are peeking out from under his backwards baseball cap are bleached blond. He is wearing Skeleton fingerless gloves and his nails are painted black. He has a lip piercing and one in his right eyebrow. He is smirking at his phone, but he is really laughing at…
This Week Ten Years Ago
Week of 11/6/2005 Witty one liner: There’s a light at the end of every tunnel, just pray it’s not a train. Quote of the week: Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, but revenge is too. Offbeat oddity (courtesy of the planner): Mosquitoes are attracted to the color blue twice as much as…
Hockey Player and the French Person
His gear bag is bigger than him and quite possibly might weigh more than him. He could fit inside the gear bag easily. He holds a hockey stick in his left hand, the blade up in the air. Navy blue, windbreaker exercise pants with three red stripes on the outside of each leg. Light brown…
Come with me now!
Hey Y’all, Man has it been a week! I have been struggling hard to be an adult and have been having various doctors’ appointments to the tune of one or two a week for general checkups and the like plus a surprise ER visit that was 9 hours long. But the good news is so…
