Poly Ponderings
I had a great time this past weekend. My girlfriend came down to visit. We ended up at the club both Friday and Saturday nights. Although, Friday I was in drag (it was cross dress night) and she had a hard time looking at me like that. To be honest, I did it half to fuck with her head, and half just to have fun. I don't usually get dressed up for the themes. I figured I'd do something different.
On Saturday I ended up at dinner with a larger group of people. Oddly enough, we were all attached in one way or another. I was there, the Missus (and her little Wolf Pup), her boyfriend the Soldier, his girlfriend the Gypsy, My girlfriend (kitten), my once and future lover the Hippie (and her little one who I don't know well enough to name or title) and her husband the Guru. All seven of us (9 counting the suckling ones) at the same table, having a good time, talking, flirting, eating, being a family. It's really got me thinking a lot. I had been pondering the poly tribe I've become attached to quite a bit lately anyway.
I do adore my poly-ness. I'm really finding myself more and more content within it. Worked through most of the problems with the Wolf, or at least come to a workable compromise. happy things are going well with the Missus and her boy. Happy things are going well with the kitten and her boy. Happy in general. The only real stresses these days are mostly external. Money, truck, blood family, etc... And even they're off and on. Money's tight, but not missing. Ryuu (truck) is driving well, but not legal. And family on my dads side is good, it's my mom and sister that's rocky or miserable... *sigh* Oh well.
In my daydreams.....
There's this building on the top of Mount Afton. If you've ever driven 64 out past Chancellorsville, over the mountains I'm sure you've seen it off to the left. I imagine it is/was a hotel. It's quite literally on the side of the mountain, with a lovely view of the valley below. Quite secluded. I keep having this daydream of winning the lottery (isn't how they all start?) and buying the place. Renovating it so it can house many people and families comfortably. Making sure that there are lots of communal areas and private places for everyone. And the position of the building is perfect for alternative energy sources... I can see small wind turbines (something like THIS) and Solar Power, or even a solar/wind combo unit (like THIS). And with the snow and rain and fog up there, hell, even add some water reclamation options too.
Basically, I've just been dreaming of my own poly commune. A place where we can all come together to live our lives, raise our kids, support and love one another. And (with the help of the lottery, lol) put our efforts into more creative and productive things than just working 9-5. Starting a business doing something, allow others to take time to perform their art, or practice a skill, or something other than grinding away under the thumb of the day to day toil.
*sigh* Well, it's good to have dreams. For now I'm happy with my polyfamily as it is.
