Quarterlife crisis?

My quarterlife crisis started with a haircut.

Not a haircut of mine--- a haircut of Jenny’s.

Jenny went and got herself a hipster haircut which I did (and still kind of do) find super annoying. Because I hate hipsters. What’s not to hate about people who spend thousands… Read full post »

Over the weekend, Jenny and I started making real, honest-to-goodness plans to move in together. This is a big deal. We have been talking about it (read: I have been pestering her) on and off for months, but this weekend, we started talking concretely. If all goesRead full post »

I need advice

In case anyone thought that I was exaggerating about my Baptist upbringing....I just received the following guide to "voting biblically" in my inbox. My mother sent it to my sister, brother, and me.

This is a choice excerpt

Confessions of the Terminally Unhip

I am a dork. This is part of the reason that Jenny and I work together so well. Unless you look like Portia DiRossi, being a lesbian is kind of uncool already, but Jenny and I take dorkiness to an entirely different level. We love musical theater. We live in Brooklyn… Read full post »

I was born Baptist....

but have since converted to hedonism.

 (Apologies to Woody Allen)

 

Ever since I de-converted from Christian fundamentalism, one of my favorite games has been to see who does and doesn’t stay in the faith. I had a good deal of hope for my kid brother-- Sam-- who is twentyRead full post »

It's the pit of despair....


Here is what I did today. I went to a job interview that involved putting together a 100 piece puzzle with 3 strangers, telling those strangers a “secret” of mine, and “acting out” customer service related scenarios. All 15 of the applicants at this “recruitment event&rd… Read full post »

Two queers walk into a wedding shower, and...

I don’t normally wake up in the morning and think about what a homosexual I am. Although it may surprise the readers of my blog, I am pretty uninterested in my gayness, because most of the time I don’t feel any different from anybody else. I have older lesbian friends who… Read full post »

I am not a preposition.

Last weekend, my beloved and I went on our vacation to Boston and Provincetown. Provincetown was so beautiful, we almost didn’t come back. Overall, it was a much needed weekend of reconnection and romance, and it was good to remember all the reasons we fell in love in the first place.… Read full post »

Calling all cryptographers

If you are a New Yorker, you might have heard of this

 http://www.welostourgold.com

 

The conceit is that three pirates (and a ninja) lost ten thousand dollars in New York City, and their treasure chest is buried somewhere in the five boroughs. I have been watching the videos over the last… Read full post »


    If you had met me when I was a small child-- say, five or six years old, and you had asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would have said “Jewish.” This may seem odd for a Baptist kid from Wisconsin, but let me tell… Read full post »

 Inspired by "dear reader, I married him"

 Hello, ladies:

It is I--- your friendly neighborhood lesbo-tron. There has been a certain amount of kerfuffle in these parts about the sort of clothing that you are wearing out to the nightclubs. Some of the folks here think youRead full post »

October 20th, 2004. It was a warm Wednesday afternoon in Minneapolis, and it was the day when-- according to some--- I became a bit of a fossil.

What was I doing on October 20th, 2004?  That was the day I declared my undergraduate major-- bachelor of arts, theater.My parents didn’t take… Read full post »

marry me a little?


My beloved and I are planning a getaway to Boston and Provincetown for our anniversary in a few weeks. (It’s our first!)  When telling our friends,  the near-ubiquitous response has been “Oh, you could get married there! You’re not eloping....are you?” Because obvioRead full post »

With great gayness comes great responsibility


I was Baptist, to begin with. Good, conservative, old-fashioned Baptist. I went to Baptist high school. All my friends were Baptists and Pentecostals. I am not Baptist anymore. I converted. To lesbianism. Not only did I convert, I moved to New York CIty, found a nice Jewish girl, and joinedRead full post »

I am currently working on a project with trained dogs. These dogs live one to a cage, eat fresh-cooked chicken, and all of their brushes, leashes, etc., are kept in Juicy Couture bags. The dogs are only allowed to work a max of four hours a day, and they are paid… Read full post »

There are very few things that tire me out more than having guests come to town. My mom and dad and brother were just here for a few days, and although I really enjoyed seeing them-- I am still very, very tired.

Why?

Because you see, my friends, the exhaustion comes not just… Read full post »
