Armchair Therapist: Relationship Self-Analysis Edition

This time, it’s personal (#NameThatMovie)!

Today I realized that I still have some work to do, but I’m learning a lot about myself.  And, as a result, this is THE LAST POST I will write on the Friend Boy saga because I’m going to take my own advice.  One of my Twitter [...]

Armchair Therapist: I'm not a player I just #crush a lot

Excuse my French, but I’m a grown-ass woman so why do I have a “crush” on a man? And why the hell am I using that word?

I said that I wasn’t going to write another post about Friend Boy, but this one is a special request. The other day, one of my Twitter followers mentioned [...]

Bipolars should be single: The final installment of The Friend Boy Chronicles

Controversial title, huh?  Before you go off on me for suggesting that it is not possible for people suffering from bipolar disorder to maintain healthy relationships, read what I have to say here about myself and then feel free to judge me as you see fit.

Yup, this is gonna be me for a while, only [...]

The Friend Boy Chronicles: Waiting in Vain

If I were the main character in a Shakespeare tragedy, my neurotic impatience would be my undoing.  In this tragi-comedy we call life, impatience has nearly killed me already and I’ve barely reached the second act.   For example, last week I made reservations for dinner with 8 friends, all of whom arrived late to the restaurant.  [...]

The Friend Boy Chronicles: Why relationships are like meals

Mmmm….tasty!

After pondering this Friend Boy mishegas, it occurs to me that I need to go out on a date.

“Well, duh” is your likely response, but I don’t need to go on a date with Friend Boy.  What I need is another, low-pressure, low-commitment date with another man.  And to be clear, by date I mean [...]

Public Service Announcement: Never take love advice. Ever.

If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you know of the Adventures of Friend Boy.  If you’ve never read this blog before, let me sum it up for you so you don’t get confused.  There’s a guy that I like and, as though I’m in seventh grade instead of a 38-year-old woman who should know [...]

Taking the lid off Pandora's Box: #WetJamesFranco and celibacy

Blame it on #WetJamesFranco, an entity that I created solely to deal with my reaction to photographs from the actor James Franco‘s new Gucci campaign.  One of my friends posted a link to Facebook or Twitter or something like that and I haven’t been able to stop drooling since.  Or thinking about sex.

Honesty is NOT written all over my face

Sometimes I meet my blog fans and Twitter followers in person, and they remark that my social media personality is exactly the same as my real personality.  I’m a firm believer that “what you see is what you get” should apply to people as well as to computer programming and The Flip Wilson Show.  I’m the [...]

Waiting in the foxhole of love

I’ve lost the use of my heart, but I’m still alive

Y’all know Sade ain’t never lied about a broken heart, and she really nailed it with “Soldier of Love”.  All the sisters and some brothers too, understand what she’s talking about.  Love rolled over your ass like like a wooden pin over Granny’s biscuit dough [...]
