on dudes being crazy
I decided to take a sabbatical from dating for completely logical reasons (i.e. being selfish, doing me). When I broke it to this guy last week that we weren’t going anywhere (partially because of my date-break, mostly because I had completely lost interest in his drab approach to life, annoying voice and needy desire to incessantly talk things out), he reacted by sending excessively lengthy text...
Unrelatedly, I guess I was wrong and it’s time to give up.
Sometimes I wonder about the people we leave by the wayside. Certainly they have deserved it, but do we deserve to do this to ourselves?
Leaving LA wasn’t hard to do. It was easy, and it was logical, and I had already hung around long enough after college. Leaving San Francisco seems hard. It seems illogical, and it seems like I’ve settled here long enough for it to seem like home. I’m sad lately, but not horribly so, and not - I hope - interminably. I have felt before that it was horrible, that it was...
on possibly moving to portland or seattle
All day I’ve been trying to focus enough to meet deadline for my side hustle, and all day I’ve been exceptional at distracting myself.
I’ve mostly been on Craigslist, looking for apartments to move into after my vacation. But my wandering finger has been clicking into housing options in other cities, and it occurs to me between Sunday-blues beers that it’s almost the...

unrelated to roasting chicken
I’m roasting a chicken right now and it’s got 45 minutes to go and I’m bleeding out of my vagina which means I have a lot of feelings to dull with this chicken which is still roasting which I am not yet eating so said feelings are still sharp.

mornings; ugh
As a way to get over being depressed about my day job, I’ve been freelancing as an incognito advice columnist (pseudonym city up in this lifestyle). The only friend who knows of this writes in constantly for beauty tips. I’ve made a point of not advising her, and as penance, must go over my entire morning “beauty” routine in detail. So here it is. Now you, too, can be a...

worse things
is there anything worse than wanting to reach out and touch someone and knowing you shouldn’t, or can’t? that if you do, they might not ever sit next to you again. they might not be close enough to touch, ever again.
(yes. lots of worse things. but still, the above’s not awesome.)

A dude who clearly wants to bone me made the statement that I must not have been hugged enough as a child.
I wasn’t. I barely touched anyone until I started dating, and after that, I quickly grew addicted. And when it’s gone, I feel it keenly.
But dude, seriously. Look at my bookshelf. Look at yours. It’s not happening.

when i was freelancing for a living, i often looked at many of my freelancing peers who also did not have “real day jobs” and think to myself, “damn. i work all day. i work for three-to-eight different websites, which is many more websites than those people work for. why do they have nicer things…

Yes! ”Embarrass my entire gender.” I think we all fear this. It fucks us up! Let’s be honest about it! See also: “It is tempting to feel resentful when we don’t see ourselves or our stories or our ideals reflected in the prevailing narratives of femaleness. Luckily, there is an...
