A Temporary Emotion

There's no reason to doubt the mischief jealousy can create. I feel it buildup within me even when I focus on other things. If only I could conquer the green eyed monster. Stick him in front of a mirror and show him his reflection. Give him a peek at the feelings he causes within me. Show him his true nature and introduce him to envy. He isn't completely unavoidable and I know that better than anyone. At times of weakness he creeps through my cracks and shows me my hardened shell is flawed. Gnawing at my heart from the inside out. The hole only gets bigger...


Vicious and unbiased I seem to attract them all. Stirring within your soul and catching you when you fall. Caught in my trap, you can't help but feel me. Money means nothing, so it won't help if you're wealthy. A faithful friend always by your side. Ready to pickup the pieces and offer you a ride. Down the slippery slope of emotions they always compare me to. Envy is my bestfriend, soon to be yours too. The harder you wish and the more you fight. I sneak into your heart and it feels so right. How can we be enemies when we work so well? Yes, the grass is greener over here and so your emotions swell. Growing and growing till you can't help but call my name. Jealousy, better yet The Green Eyed Monster is my claim to fame.

The Hard Femme

Here's how Urban Dictionary defines a "Hard Femme": "Not to be mistaken with the typical femme, the "hard femme" describes herself as "queer", is political, looks more feminine than masculine, and if prompted, can kick some serious ass. She doesn't need to "wear the pants" in a relationship- the hard femme rules with a dress. She not only despises the gender binary, she works to dismantle it."
Navigating the queer world can be difficult. As a whole we strive to eliminate labels and break stereotypes, but along the way we have only added to them. In the binary system of (cis)man and (cis)woman, there are also several subcategories, meant to only further define who we are as individuals.
For example, I could be considered many things: hard femme, stem(stud &femme), or a feminine aggressive. None of these things define who I am as a person but within the community these labels help others to understand why I prefer a mohawk to l…

Reviewed: Lesbian Nightlife in NJ

I know how you feel. You're searching for lesbian clubs in NJ, and you're being directed to New York City. Well, there's two reasons for that: New York City has some of the best lesbian events and lesbian clubs in NJ are scarce.
Awhile back I reviewed some of the top lesbians clubs in NYC. Although New Jersey's nightlife will never be as vibrant as New York's, there are still some establishments dedicated to the gays, so let's talk. 
iKON Formerly known as Deko Lounge, iKon is one of the most well-known clubs in Central New Jersey. Back when it was Deko, this was the go to joint for my friends and I because it was a guaranteed good time. There are 3 different rooms with music ranging from techno to Latin to hip-hop and the drinks are cheap! I celebrated a birthday here with all of my friends, and it was one of the most memorable occasions.

Unfortunately, much has changed, and since a new owner took over the club things have changed. Today, iKon is mainly a boys cl…

The Mis-Adventures of a Lesbian Online Dater pt. 2

Another online dating story to follow up the first one:

One day, I was sitting with my mother, and we started talking about ways to meet people. I stressed to her the necessity of going out and meeting people in person. I told her that there is nothing compared to just meeting someone at a bar, while shopping, or through unexpected conversation. She told me that it's not the same for her generation. She believes dating for a middle aged woman isn't as simple as going to a bar and hoping for the best. I was instantly reminded of a conversation I had with a college friend, and he said that his father felt online dating was the only way he would find love. We were both perplexed that our intelligent parents could be so wrong.

For my generation, the internet is a means to hooking up. This phrase has several different meaning to different people, but one thing stays the same; hooking up is NOT long term. It's a temporary thing that only leads to a lasting relationship if the tw…
