sexual healing

I’ve been on many dates recently. Yesterday I had two- a coffee date with a large, bearded avanat garde theater artist, and a stout and sushi and Arrested Development “date” with my friend Sideburns.
The first date was okay. The fellow was interesting, but I didn’t feel much of a spark, and I had to [...]

inappropriate

I spent all night drinking vodka and listening to live music with a young man that I adore, and I would throw myself at him in a heartbeat if he weren’t married. I often wish he wasn’t, and since I have never met his wife, it is easy to pretend that she doesn’t exist.
He is [...]

Anyhow, although the lack of communication wants to prove otherwise, I think of you often

The summer of 2000 I was an intern at a company that produces media content in a large east coast city. My internship involved research, writing, and music, and was a fabulous experience. I shared an office with a beautiful woman who was the producer of the show I was writing for, although she wasn’t [...]

abstaining

I used to drink a lot. I used to drink until I would black out. I would vomit the next day. I would drink so much that I would pass out so heavily that I would be late to work the next day. I remember one time I was so hungover I had to crawl [...]

jobs, health care, and “light of my life, fire of my loins”

While I am feeling better, things are still in flux, and I don’t like flux. While I like the work I do at both my jobs, the politics and problems of both really, really annoy me. However, I have applied to several other pretty awesome (or so they sound, at least) full time jobs, so [...]

I’m glad I spent it with you

What a perfect day.
I spent the morning in a meeting and attending a workshop on weeding. Then lunch, a latte, and my therapist appointment. On a whim, before my appointment, I sent a text message to xb, asking “Christmas market downtown in 1 hour?”
During my appointment, I talked about how work was going very, very [...]
