“So you said in your profile you enjoy traveling…?” “Yeah, love it. Try to get out of the state at least once a year,” Conor said around a mouthful of steak. Mia breathed in deeply and resumed cutting into her grilled chicken, taking another tiny bite of it. Finally, some common ground, she thought. That … Continue reading
Nobody told me it was going to be like this… Regular Working World: One in which I plod through, day to day, nodding and smiling in support towards colleagues and students and the occasional administrator. I teach, I answer questions, I grade papers, I question myself, I re-grade some papers, I teach some more, I … Continue reading
I’ve been stagnant here, and for that—as well as my lack of participation in the blogging community—I’m sorry. I’d a single writing goal over the summer, and that was to FINALLY finish my horror novel, that beast that’s been keeping my mind and soul occupied when other things should have been. I’d promised myself it … Continue reading
I never once understood those people who love living in the past. Personally, I find it almost masochistic, reliving those days one cannot get back, never mind those days where too many mistakes were made. It’s a bleak viewpoint, I realize.

The trick is to completely ignore set preferences just so that, out of desperation, the customer “power(s) up” their profile by paying more money … Continue reading
Right, so I may be looking for a rebound, but I’m not sure. At my age, rebounds seem as if they’d be just as exhausting as an all-out relationship. I think the last relationship I was in was kind of a rebound, one that lasted seven years. I’d been long unable to let go of … Continue reading
***** Every morning, right upon waking, I have a little routine. I check my fingertips, especially the fingernails. I know what you’re thinking. It’s peculiar. No, wait. That’s not what you’re thinking — You’re thinking it’s flat-out weird. I’m weird. But don’t we all have our own little rituals upon waking? Mine can’t be the … Continue reading
Today, the red flag is up at the beach. Red, apparently, signifies “High Surf and/or Strong Currents. HIGH HAZARD.” In other words, don’t swim too far out, and if you try, may God have mercy on your stupid soul. This early afternoon, the green, glassy waves in the Gulf were continuously rolling, a foamy mass … Continue reading
