Does anyone have any suggestions for how I could fix my blog? The sidebar is down at the bottom! At least, that's what I see. That is how it looks to you, isn't it?
Tonight I had a very encouraging job interview. Before I went to the interview I was talking to my friend Robert, NYC jazz pianist, about my job woes. I was saying that I feel surrounded by co-workers who crave the tidal wave of customers that crush you and then...
He's always liked dark hair and dark eyes.I've always liked tall, lanky white guys.If more of our compatibilities rhyme,I could be stuck with this guy for some time.
Um, okay. I guess this is about right. T.S. Eliot was one of my favorite poets in college. And that was when I had hope for my life. Which literature classic are you? T.S.Eliot: The Wasteland. You are a desperate cry to God, moulded in intricate word-craftmanship....

Okay, here's the compromise solution to my life: I cannot live on what I'm earning as a hostess right now, so I'm back on job search for a part-time position as a server. A part-time job will allow me to earn what I need, plus I'll get a chance to find out what...

By the way, my frequent Yorkshire commentator, White Rose Boy, has launched a blog called World of Mick on which he posts quite frequently for a guy who was reluctant to start one.
This hostessing job just isn't feeling like the best fit. I've got the basics down, but there are apparently endless levels of expertise I could try to learn that don't really feel worth the $9/hour plus tips I'm earning. It's been a while since I had a job this...
I have a confession to make. After dating hundreds of men over the course of my spinsterhood, after too many first dates to count, after believing my heart must not function like everyone else's and, most significantly, after the epiphany of January 3rd that showed me...
I am proud to be a spinster. Anyone who reads the word "spinster" on my blog and sees it as pejorative is reading their own negative meaning into it. I use the word "spinster" the same way I use the word "bachelor." Here is the official definition: spinster - an...

One Saturday night a couple of years ago (whenever Open Water was released, anybody know?) I decided to go to the movies. Now I’ve been a spinster for a long time, so I’m used to dining alone, going to movies alone, seeing shows alone, etc. and I have no problem with...
