Dear Huddled Masses,
When walking into a restaurant or bar with multiple open tables, and then choosing to sit at a dirty table, please realize that we (the people working in said restaurant) hate you. Loathe you. Despise you. This is actual science.
Sincerely,
All Restaurant People -
Once a month there’s a lesbian event called Mrs. that all the gay girls flock to.
Not be confused with other monthly gay events aptly named Blow Pony, Dirtbag, Hey Queen, Gaycation, and Twerque.
(and yes I said GAYCATION)
I prefer Mrs. because there are far less men and FAR less straight people, (no offense heteros…but come on now).
I have purchased a
moderatelytotally suggestive dress that is possibly a bit too short for a woman my age, and will be dancing until my feet go numb.When not dancing I will be standing on the sidelines judging alllllllllllll of the gays.
Dance.
Drink.
Judge.
Laugh.
Commence Saturday night.

I spied you and Talia hugging up against the window of my work today and I practically keeled over in cuteness overload. My co-worker actually said out loud "they look like they feel perfect!" I am happy that you are so happy, Mary Ellen :)
That’s so sweet! Where do you work? And “feeling perfect” would be a very accurate statement.

Always THIS.

I just send you that message...but really how do you move on from the woman you think you're going to spend the rest of your life with. I'm 28 and single now (from an ex-fiance woman) and feel like I'll never meet anyone again. How do I move on from that? She left me and gave up on me and I have dated here and there but nothing lasts....I feel so hopeless. Will I ever find love again?
(I get this question often, and here is my best response.)
I was heartbroken in a way that I never imagined possible or survivable. My wife was my best friend and (I thought) the love of my life. She also left me and also “quit” in a way that at the time I didn’t understand, but now I see SO much of the larger picture.
I “dated” here and there for the past year, and frankly I just assumed that I would find ways to be happy without that kind of love I thought I had. At some point I realized how happy I had become as a single person. It just kind of hit me out of nowhere. And then things started to make sense, why she left our marriage started to make sense to me somehow. And then one day Van Morrirson stopped making me cry.
As for you ever finding love again…you will…and probably when you least expect it. It doesn’t feel possible now for you, but it is.
When Natalie and I were newly separated someone who had survived a divorce said to me “the best and worst moment for me was when I realized we weren’t the match I believed us to be”. This is still one of my favorite realizations.
I look at she and I now and realize that no matter how much love we had for each other, that we could never have been the match I thought we were.
I wasn’t looking to meet anyone when I met my girlfriend, in fact I was actively refusing to date anyone, but then she just showed up in my life in the most surprising way and now I feel a kind of happiness that I honestly have never experienced in my entire life. My ex wife has a new girlfriend and she is absolutely incredible, the fact that the four of us can be friends makes me feel so very lucky.
You will survive this. Don’t wait for anyone to rescue you. Just pick yourself up as many times as you have to and tell yourself repeatedly that your life is about to grow into something wonderful.
