I haven't updated much recently. This is for two reasons: 1) I've just been too damn busy to write for fun, and 2) the things on my mind that I'd like to write about are simply too touchy to just throw out there for everyone to read. This I say after writing an entry so many years ago explicitly outlining the night I intervened between my mother and her distructive drinking habit, and all the hell that ensued. I still feel bad about foisting that burden on my unsuspecting LJ friends, but it was very necessary at the time, and it immensely helped me cope.
These days I have much more positive, less personally-sensitive goings-on to write about, but I fear that what I have to say will be offensive to some. Namely I want to share information and ponderings about deviations from what is considered normal in terms of relationships and pleasure. On these things I tend to have very liberal views. Though I don't intend to make this journal a forum for detailing explicitly what I do or what some of the people I know do, I would like to at least muse on some ideas and vaguely share a few personal experiences without fear of offending.
To that end, I intend to create a custom group for anyone willing to read what I have to say. Send me a comment, and I'll add you to the group. If I don't hear anything from you, I'll assume you're not interested. Some of my recent entries are already viewable by a few of my close friends. Because I didn't give them an option whether or not to view the entries, here's their chance to be taken off the list.
I want to note that I'm very interesting in discourse with others who may not be knowledgable about my views or even may not agree. Please don't take this as an attempt at exclusivity. I just want to give every one the chance to opt-out if they desire not to 'participate'. If you are interested in viewing these entries, please comment here and let me know.
