The follow-up story to what happened after my friend's boyfriend completely unleashed on me.
name calling
friendship
I need to find someone who will go thrift shopping with me, dammit, so I decided to get a little creative.
women
When I hear other women say they can’t stand women, it makes me sad because what they’re really saying is that they can’t stand parts of themselves.
straight people
A queer space, however temporary, is the one space that’s both physically and emotionally safe -- where, for once, heterosexuality isn’t assumed, and queer people are the default.
friendship
I meet a nice girl or boy. We hit it off, and I get friend-butterflies (frienderflies!) and begin to think, "Could this be it? Could this be my new best friend??" But then, casually, s/he will drop the best friend bomb.
best friends
I'm not sure why I was shocked, let alone hurt, when a girl I had known for 28 years tried to sabotage my wedding. It was right in line with all the other messed up things she had done to me over the years.
how not to be a dick
There’s no need for you to speak more loudly and slowly, enunciate more, or mime things when you’re speaking to me
friendship
I had a weird birthday. Instead of cake, I sobbed in some nachos, almost ruined a friendship and wore sexy skivvies no one saw.
addiction
In some ways, friend break-ups are even worse than romantic ones -- and they can carry the same emotional baggage. Still, sometimes they're a necessary evil.
age
Where was I when everybody decided to get their shit together? Probably drinking margaritas at a dog wedding.
friendship
As a single girl, I’m thrilled when my friends break up with their boyfriends, not because I hate their men, but because I need to get out of the house.
friendship
How many of us are using that ugly rationalization -- “Oh, I just have trouble making female friends; men like me better than women do” -- to justify an existence against our own self-interest?
etiquette
I've started, for the sake of my sanity, simply interpreting "I’m so bad at getting back to people" as "I’m so bad at being a friend right now" ... and letting it go.
friendship
OK, so I watched the L word, love JD Samson, and subscribe to both Bitch and BUST Magazines. That doesn't mean I want to have sex with women.
ihtm contest
We joked that we didn’t have time to have relationships with guys because we were too busy dating each other.
friend zone
Nobody wants to be in the “Friend Zone,” where you can’t get your freak on and girls do terrible things like be themselves with you or (EVEN WORSE!) share their pink, heart-dotted-i, cootie-covered girly girl feelings.
bad tattoos
It’s ink. In your skin. Until you die.
friendship
Today, or sometime around today, is an anniversary that I felt in my body before the why came to mind. Around this time, in 2010, a good friend of mine took her own life. She was 27 years old.
friendship
And I feel shame.
cheating
As my friendship with Alex grew, I was constantly overwhelmed with guilt about the secret I was keeping from her.
rape
1. If your best friend tells you she was raped, BELIEVE HER.
dating
Of course you fall in love with your best friend. Doesn’t everybody?
