My first concert ever was to see The Cure. I borrowed my parents' car in 11th grade, loaded up my two friends, and headed to Albany on a school night. Not before, of course, piling on the eyeliner and collecting some excellent mix tapes for our road-trip soundtrack. Maybe [...]

I don't think I'd get many arguments if I throw the following generalization onto the table: people watching is one of America's favorite pasttimes. Whether we actively seek out specimens of fine human existence for visual study or participate on a more casual level, observing fellow mankind in [...]

So, you haven't exactly been flooding my inbox with concerned and worried emails. It's ok. I know how to read your silence. That's why I'm here; because I don't want you to fret any longer. I've been on a brief hiatus, and my story can [...]

Aries (March 21-April 19) Aries, this will be the year of ultimate adventure for you. That trip to the mountains? Fantasizing about a foursome? Whatever your particular urgings have been last year, 2007 is all about doing and not thinking. In other words, it's going to be [...]

This may be difficult for some of you, but imagine for a moment that us girls over here at GS are slacking at the moment. Perhaps we're all draped about the heartshaped bed, maybe hungover, possibly snoring, hardly clothed. And then Meme's voice pierces the muffled silence of [...]

Here's your present! I know, I know. You've seen it already. But it's Christmas, people! You should be in church, not looking at explicit videos. [...]

All this talk of exes and breakups and being non-attached has really got me thinking: Is it possible to dump your mother? I know this isn't exactly in the spirit of the holiday season and all, but I'm really at my wit's end with my own mom. And, I'm [...]

Not only was my post last week an poorly thought-out rant, but it was also in place of a Horospoke™ that I owe you all. I'm dreadfully sorry you needed to go through the first week of this month without a clue as to how to behave, or how [...]

I spent most of my weekend--like, all of it--painting a room in my house. One room. The smallest room, actually, in my house. I probably used a total of one gallon of paint, and I even had, at one point, three other girls assisting me. All [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, clearly the must-have toy of this holiday season is an AquaPet. Now, now. I know...you've already seen the newsflash on boing boing. But I'm reviving this bulletin for a few very special reasons. First, it's always fun to look at: Plus, you can [...]

(My timing is horrible, but let's pretend this is about a month earlier and my post title is socially in sync with current evens, ok?) I've been thinking about changing up my hair for a few weeks now. Currently, it's brown, layered, long. You know...boring. I've [...]

After the topic of and commentary on my last post, I got to thinking about an age-old discussion centered around the social behavior of females. Coupling that with an observation that my boyfriend made recently (Him: You're an alpha female. Me: Oh. So, wait. Is that hot?) [...]

Judging by your lack of commentary on, like, ANY of my posts, I know you hate me. I can take a hint. But the thing is that you're stuck with me this week, ok? So fuck off. But wait. Not really. I just want [...]

I was at a formal social function this weekend, and while I wanted to go off on a tirade about couples that argue in public, I realized that we're all guilty of that at some point or another. Plus, I haven't been adhering to my duties as the official [...]

We don't have much of a blogroll here at Girlspoke, so it's fun to give some respect to fellow bloggers that walk the line around here. Plus, it's another reason for me to cop-out of doing a legitimate post. I got a message from a reader the other [...]

I did have one once. I remember that much. In fact, I remember every damn detail of it. And I also recall sharing each of those details with as many people as possible, including those that became clearly uncomfortable at the start of my sharing. But for all [...]

There's something soothing about list-making. Being the astrologer that I am, I should be able to make some kind of connection to my sign, but I'm sure it has more to do with my own neurosis than my astrology. Regardless, my nerves are in need of some soothing. [...]

You're working. (Or you're home but have nothing better to do, so same difference.) You probably don't want to be working. Guess what? I don't want to be writing this post either. And I've complained of this before. My apathy. Writer's Block. [...]

I stumbled upon this post the other day and couldn't help but giggle. Well, I actually laughed quite loud, showed the post to my boyfriend (who rolled his eyes) and then started to ponder this situation more seriously. I mean, seriously? PIZZLE? As in, fo' [...]

I was talking with my trusty co-worker, Lisa, the other day. The topic? Another woman we work with (of course) and her marital situation. This lady was an exceptional conversation piece for about a million reasons, but today we focused on her ability to find a man. [...]
