Pop Goes the Girl

I've got sparkle and bite.

About Me

I'm a geek. I love Dungeons and Dragons, Star Wars, Dune, Lord of the Rings, Sandman, and vampires. Go ahead and make fun of me.More about me:I write. I write about sex, I write about relationships. I wrote a blog series on the brief time I worked as the dispatcher for an escort service. I write about random stuff too, sometimes. (Um...are you seeing a pattern here?) Check out my blog, drop me a line if you like. Add me as a friend. Subscribe to my stuff. I want to hear what you think of it.
Other things about me:
I love my cat. He's eleven.
I've been trying to get in touch with my femme side recently. It's not easy--not because I'm not female, but because there's a certain softness associated with femininity that I've avoided for most of my life.
I teach at a college in one of New York City's five boroughs. I'm at odds with my identity as a teacher and my identity as a writer...well, a "sexy" writer. That's why my eyes are covered in all of my profile pics.

Alas, I spoke too soon

This morning at 5am my pee was the awful yellow of mustard gas and smelled like a bucket of ammonia mop water. I hope that is interesting enough for you, Trendon.So I went and filled the prescription...

I should be getting to bed, but the old writing bug bites, and so I log on and blog on.The sound of rain drums against the window panes like impatient fingertips. I love rain. Rarely, in summer rain...

Mac & Cheese (and TMI)

So instead of driving home right after school today, I instead drove around.  I drove around because I was hungry.  I was hungry, and I wanted something to eat, but nothing sounded good.&nbs...

First Kisses 3

The first girl I ever kissed (once I knew how to kiss, and wanted to) was a friend of mine. We were both twenty years old; we'd gone to high school together in Florida, and though I'd moved away, I wa...

DaddySitting

Holy pile of elephant poo, having my father visit sucks.  He flew in on Wednesday afternoon, and will leave Saturday morning.  He's hard of hearing, and has a number of health issues.  ...
