Love your writing – so clever and so true. I sent it to my husband (who is overseas at the moment) and wanted to share his response: ‘Hey, girl, so that’s another thing we have in common 🙂 ‘

Yes, but you get used to it – after a fashion. It is the news bulletins which begin ‘Two soldiers were killed today in an explosion in …’ which makes your heart skip a beat.

Wow! After managing to pick my jaw up from the floor and wipe the salvia that was dangling from the side of my mouth, I just wanted to say – well, I think I already did. Wow! So honest, the writings of a woman who wants her man to want her the way she wants him. This is the kind of writing found in the most delicous of untold fantasies. If only women were so bold, so brave and so open with their feelings as you are in this piece, then issues with communication and interpretation would be torn down forever. Really makes one think about so many nice, R rated thoughts… Boy, I wish I had someone… 😀

thank you, and I love everything you write! Cheers

Ha,ha!! I just realize why I love your writings so much. You bear a strong resemblance to the Goddesss I adore, the great Inanna, Queen of Heaven and Earth, Goddess of Love and Passion, the exalted Irnini, the most perfect lady, for the passion you express in your writings are the passions of this divine one, and this fire burns bright in each and every one of her daughters.
There is no doubt that these writings are the work of what we call; DINGIR AZAGGA TA (Sacred Divinity), and NAPIIXTUM (Flaming Fire).
Stay blessed, daughter of Inanna.
My regards, Dumu Abzu-a.

Think you’re good even if you’re not? I’ve never had that ability. I prefer honesty and self-awareness. But I’m all for going out on a likg for a relationship, I just keep my eyes open. I’m glad the husband agrees.

Coco, your writing is magic. I only hope you are the cute little bundle of joy that we see on your blog & not an overweight hairy 60-ry-old man living without air conditioning in a large southwestern city experiencing a long power outage. Great Writing.

It is utter bullshit, you cant change a person in to who and what you want, you either take that person for who they are or dont take the person at all, i have had this putting of ones desires to change me in to something someone else wanted and it fucked me up, badly i totally lost my entire identity for quite a long while, while i tried to become what and who this other person wanted. eventually it started to make me angry then it started to really piss me off who are they to try to change me int what they want, when you met me was this the purpose right from the start, or did you perhaps fall in love with the person you met and then think well hell i got him now lets change him into something totally different from the fucking cowboy i met, dress him in khakis and button downs, have him where different shoes than cowboy boots, she never got me to get rid of them, have him talk about only things that are politically correct and in the very latest fashion, make him into a fucking frankenstien upper middle class ass just like the others around him, and there i was the height of fashion, the talk of the party, using my quaint little stories of ranch living to make anecdotes on life as i know knew it, the perfect host, there at the right spot with a quip or trend in the market or a new piece that fit right in with any conversation at any given time, then i exploded literally and emotionally ripping the very clothes from my body running through our quaint little house in our quaint little neighborhood, looking for a simple tshirt and jeans, finding the keys to the truck i kept in the garage covered with a tarp ripping it off and driving right between my infinity and her BMW and right through the center support of the garage and driving off into the night to find a beer at a place where i belonged, not the trendy little places that we usually go, take my advice you trying to change someone to your wants and needs will only end i disaster and will not only hurt you but them as well, i threw away over 7000.00 dollars in suits that i was supposed to wear to work everyday. find common things together, that is what and when you will find what you are looking for and for a final piece of advice quit looking, if you do it will find you.

indeed that is why we create. i am just polishing a poem that is all about that. but, you know, i wish it could all go further than this gray reality, than the stack of dirty dishes. sometimes i wish we could step into a world where reality mimicked the dream. such a psychosis would be indelibly sweet

No one can write like you do Coco. You have a unique style that is amiable and honest. I really like that. I am sure he does like you.
Just remember that when he looks at you he sees an independent, yet vulnerable and loving woman with curves like the hull of a racing yacht.

I felt like a peeping tom after reading that. Only not peeking through windows, but peeking into your mind. Strange but wonderful feeling. As was said earlier, it’s a shame more people can’t be that honest about how they feel (or even don’t feel) up front.
