Five years. Last week, though (like the bad little blogger I’ve been lately) I only just realized, marked five years for me as a blogger. Reflecting on that time, both upon blogging and the content on which I write, I’ve experienced quite a bit of Life over those years… I fell in love. And out [...]

If Valentine’s Day is supposed to be about love and sex, passion and romance; what does it mean if you don’t have sex with your significant other? Sunday night, I took care in donning my thigh high stockings, lace and silk slip, 5 inch heels, and LBD for dinner with my boyfriend. It was a….hopeful little [...]

You know, depression is a funny thing. Not funny “Ha Ha,” of course. No. Funny in the sense that it can possess you so completely that you forget where you end and it begins. You lose track of yourself in a way one would never think possible. You are depression. And then, you try a [...]

“This shouldn’t hurt a bit,” the intern told me as she pricked the skin of my shin. “Anything?” “No, not really,” I admitted even though I did feel the needle poke and settle.

I haven’t written in nearly a month. Instead of writing, I’ve been cooped up with my thoughts. I can’t seem to escape them. I can’t seem to articulate them. And I can’t seem to come to much of a conclusion except to say I keep feeling like life is passing me by. All around me [...]

I’ve been a bad little blogger lately. I haven’t been writing, reading, or commenting. I’ve watched my Google Reader run amok and have simply sat by. I’ve fallen terribly behind. I’ve been a bad friend lately too. I haven’t been making plans, haven’t been emailing or calling, even texting. I’ve gone quiet without warning or [...]

Sitting there in front of the blank page, cursor blinking, I struggled with where to begin. Normally, it takes only one sentence of inspiration and then I’m off. One sentence. One phrase even. Nothing. In a flurry of spontaneity, I reached for a stubby, unkempt notebook and my giraffe pen (very good for the tapping [...]
