I’ve admitted many issues with my mental health over the years. What started as a suspicion of Seasonal Affective Disorder in high school has, for a decade now, sent me on a journey of learning and re-learning my capabilities as a human being with mental illness. Not once have I ever felt shame. Now, after […]
This past week, I got a bunch of messages on OKCupid. Some of the guys I’d never consider because I tend to avoid men who tell me they prefer to “stay home on most Friday nights and read poetry with a good glass of single malt.” Others seemed too old for me… and that’s not even including […]
Last week, while contemplating the tattered, limp tangle of spandex and bent underwires that composed my current sports bra collection, I knew it was time to bite the bullet and go shopping for a new one.

She said that on our wedding night, when we have sex with our (future) husband or wife, all the […]
Let me be clear: this house wasn’t in any way meant to be spooky. Nor was it Halloween. Even worse, my host didn’t forewarn me that there might be anything even vaguely strange about his place. The only thing he did mention, while unzipping my skirt, was that he was planning to put in an […]
Virgo (August 23-September 22): When it comes to expressing how you’re feeling, words will escape you, but thankfully, you won’t feel the need to rush on getting it right. For now, silence is your friend, in terms of getting what you want from the people closest to you. In your quiet, many will jump in […]
Because the world is a mysterious place, they have given that dude who wrote Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus an advice column. Who are “they”? I don’t know.
