A Proper Goodbye

By Britni TheVadgeWig | Published: July 24, 2009

My Republican Cowboy is moving next week. He’s going to be 1,000 miles away from me. Him and I don’t see each other much, but when we do, sparks fly and I feel at ease. He makes me feel beautiful and wanted and perfect, just the way I am. He said that when he found [...]

Set Back

By Britni TheVadgeWig | Published: July 24, 2009

I’ve been doing really well. In fact, I’ve been happier and healthier than I’ve been in a really long time. I’m not really sure what happened tonight, but I broke. I broke for the first time in a long time. And it was kind of like breaking a dam. It’s flooding tears nonstop. I don’t [...]

"Fucked Up" People

By Britni TheVadgeWig | Published: July 22, 2009

There’s been a post circulating that’s caused quite a ruckus in the blogosphere. Sage answered a question over on the Hot Dads blog that ruffled some people’s feathers.

Confession

By Britni TheVadgeWig | Published: July 22, 2009

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. It’s been… my entire life since my last confession. I mean, I was raised Jewish and I consider myself Atheist now, but I didn’t know where else to go and I needed to confess this mortal sin and someone told me that you offer forgiveness to those who [...]

Plz To Help Me Bye Loob?

By Britni TheVadgeWig | Published: July 21, 2009

So I’m in the market for a new water-based lube. I know I want something glycerin-free, and in the past I’ve always used Hydrasmooth (which, by the way, is getting increasingly hard to find. They used to carry it at Babeland and Good Vibes and now carry it at neither. Anyone know what’s up with [...]

We Need A Voice

By Britni TheVadgeWig | Published: July 19, 2009

EDIT: Eve has written a wonderfully brave post telling her story of molestation. Please stop by and give her support and encouragement. It took a lot of courage for her to write it, and she’s truly amazing. Send her some love, y’all. I talk very openly about my sexual assaults and my rape. I realize [...]

Sperm Wars

By Britni TheVadgeWig | Published: July 19, 2009

Sperm Wars by Robin Baker is one of the most interesting and thought provoking books I’ve ever read. I read it several times, lent it to many friends, and over the course of doing so, let it out and never got it back. I’ve always meant to replace it and never got around to it. [...]
