This was the question I posed to one of my best friends the other morning when a friend said something stupid and I responded. If you make something public, don't expect intelligent people not to make a statement. It's common sense. There's a lot you can say to and in front of me. I will … Continue reading “Am I Mean?”

Misery Wants Company; But Misery Can Kiss My Ass
I'm starting this the night before (Friday @ 8:30 PM EDT) because I don't know how much writing I'll be able to do tomorrow, mostly because migraines and lack of sleep have plagued my existence the majority of this week. Tomorrow is Case Study #2's birthday. I gave him three potential options for a really … Continue reading Misery Wants Company; But Misery Can Kiss My Ass
“Get Rid Of Your Americanisms”…
I am a firm believer that no matter where we're from, it is always a part of who we are. The place where we grow up and spend our formative years is instilled in us, no matter how far away we may move. As a Native New Yorker, you will never, ever hear me say … Continue reading “Get Rid Of Your Americanisms”…
Zombie Lisa
I had something great planned, and then insomnia bit and there's no way I will be able to put the finishing touches on it this morning. Perhaps later or tomorrow. At the moment, I am in desperate need of serious sleep. I am so tired, I'm shaking. 😦 I've had four migraines and a couple … Continue reading Zombie Lisa
Skype Conversations: Part I
Him: Hey babe, what are you doing? Me: Trying to draw Kylie Jenner's lips. Him: WHO? Me: It requires more lip liner than five people have ever tried using in the 90's. Him: Is this a friend I haven't met? Me: No. Why? Him: Well, there's nothing wrong with your lips, so I don't understand … Continue reading Skype Conversations: Part I
Once Upon A Time
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uelHwf8o7_U Once upon a time, in an extremely bizarre reality, I was in a relationship I should not have been in. The warning signs were there, but some people burn so brightly that you don’t seem to notice you’re going up in flames and turning to ash. Immensely large red flares of danger were being … Continue reading Once Upon A Time
Silver Linings
At this particular point in time, I am having difficulties seeing the silver linings. Life has its ups and downs. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it sucks. We've all experienced this. I'm not quite certain what to do when it's predominantly sucky. I work hard, but there is always a problem that arises and it's … Continue reading Silver Linings
Stand Up For Your Cats
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/29/opinion/sunday/julia-baird-stand-up-for-your-cats.html?smprod=nytcore-ipad&smid=nytcore-ipad-share&_r=0 I am the first person to admit that I am not married and I currently have a cat who will turn two later this year and a nine month old kitten. Cats are far more independent animals than dogs, but they're also my spirit animal to some extent. I'm definitely NOT stereotypical.
Conversations In My House: Part One
Conversations In My House: Part One This is an actual conversation I had, verbatim, yesterday morning. Him: “I’m out of body wash?” Me: “If the bottle isn’t there, then yes, it would appear so.” Him: “You didn’t think to replace it?” Me: <left eyebrow raised> “Do I LOOK like your mother?” Him: “No. Do you … Continue reading Conversations In My House: Part One
If Art Is Not To Be Life-Enhancing…
“If art is not to be life-enhancing, what is it to be? Half the world is feminine--why is there resentment at a female-oriented art? Nobody asks The Tale of Genji to be masculine! Women certainly learn a lot from books oriented toward a masculine world. Why is not the reverse also true? Or are men … Continue reading If Art Is Not To Be Life-Enhancing…
