Love ‘em! Who doesn’t? I have to admit as a older baby dyke (I came out only 2 years ago but I’m 30) I haven’t had the pleasure-pain of breaking up with a girl just for her to be my best friend a year later. I didn’t think that actually happened, really. I thought it [...]

1. Memories of my Da. They’re are all I have left of him and boy there are some good ones. Mostly though, I glad of the ones where he was dying of cancer and we went gopher shooting. That made him so happy to shoot those damn things.

5. Finding an undergrad major that has a plethora of opportunities to learn. Learn about life, people, history, subjectivity, and who the fuck is in charge of defining the boundaries of objectivity. I’ve been taking my time trying to find my way and feel blessed to be able to major in Women and Gender Studies.

She was uber-strict and the only way I could do ANYTHING I wanted to do was to do it then lie about it. I got quite good at it.
I learned not [...]

I’m a liar.
Not to other people, of course – that would be wrong. I pride myself on my honesty, my ability to cut through the bullshit around a situation and get right to the core of an issue. Other people ask my opinion about things because I tell it like it is and don’t get [...]

When if ever is it ok to Lie? Never, Ever, Clever!!!
What is the definition of lying? Full out not telling the truth, garnishing the truth, or just not telling the truth by omission?
FULL OUT NOT TELLING THE TRUTH – Just making up shit, I think we can all agree that this [...]

Do I think that I am really all that different from other people?
How do you answer this? Honestly…how do you write about yourself? Is it ever the truth? Do you even really KNOW yourself enough to begin to answer this?
I will try my best, but certainly don’t know how it will end….

On my way to work this morning, while pondering topics for my first TLL post, this radio essay came on. If you click the link, you have the option of either hearing it or reading it. (Yeah, I listen to NPR. The BBC, too. It’s a character flaw.)
