He made me believe that he knew me better than I knew myself. He had been studying me for 10 years and had a gift for the written word. I believed what he wrote (many, many poems) and said about me—whether it was when he loved me or when he was very angry with me—I believed [...]

A young mom recently said she wanted her son to have both “boy” and “girl” toys. At the time, I thought, What? But after mulling over it, is that really so strange in this day and age? I dressed up my little brothers in female clothes. The boys (to me) were like real-life baby or Barbie (Ken?) [...]

Unfortunately being a female has some drawbacks, one of those being that monthly red devil. Don’t worry—we all know the symptoms that go with it and I’m not going to get into any of that. I have found, though, that among the horrific inconveniences this time causes on a lady’s day-to-day life, there are a few [...]

I like giving people nicknames, and I list everyone under theirs (given by me) in my phone. If you don’t have a unique name, how am I supposed to remember which, say, “Alex” you are? Yes, I could use your last name, but that’s boring. People need more individual labels. Nicknames that other people have [...]

A couple of weeks ago, I had the privilege of going to what has been named one of the best haunted adventure destinations in the country: The Headless Horseman Hayrides and Haunted Houses in Ulster Park, NY. This place is no joke: You can’t bring in cameras, they seriously pat you down for weapons and drugs, and [...]

Ever since I started having regular s-e-x again, it’s like men can smell it on me or something. Not literally!—I always shower before leaving the house—but something, something is definitely going on. I don’t think I look, act, or dress any differently than I always have, but men are all over me. From my block to [...]

(Written in March 2011, Sequel to What’s In A Name?) I just found out that my latest lover graduated high school the year I graduated college. I’m having a slight panic attack. He seems my age or older, maturity-wise, career-level-wise, and in all his mannerisms and topics of conversation. So even though he looks not a [...]

Can a real relationship develop from one that began as strictly a sexual, friends-with-benefits one? “Yes, absolutely,” said one of my friends. “It’s unconventional, but I’ve definitely seen it happen that way. I know a couple that started out as a one night stand and ended up married. Of course, they have a different way [...]

One particular holiday weekend, where many events and parties transpired, I experienced something I’ve never experienced before and am quite ashamed to admit: Sex envy. Sex envy, quite simply, is when everyone around you is suddenly getting laid and therefore, you feel that you must too. The first night of this holiday weekend, we had [...]

I’m a bit sick of movies that have these romantic, will-stop-at-nothing-to-get-one-certain-girl-even-if-she’s-crazy guys in them. In real life, there are few of these fairy-tale princes. I’m not bashing guys; I’m simply saying that the guys in this generation don’t chase—not that much, anyway. They are more likely to just move on to the next target. After [...]
