The following log is transcribed from a notebook I took with me when traveling to visit Rooster and Oryx and attend the polyamory gathering. Wednesday and Thursday we spent at Rooster's house. Friday we went on to the poly gathering. (Want more background. Click here to go back to April 2013, and my very first trip to the polyamory gathering.)( Read more... )

The first weekend of April my parents came from Snowland to visit. We played board games, we went dancing, and generally had a good time.

In November 2015 I summoned the guts to dreadlock my hair. The first night, I created four dreadlocks. I was using the bathroom mirror behind me and my bedroom mirror in front of me. They were both Hibiscus's mirrors.

"Did you read my writing from today?" I asked Paladin.

"The one about how happy you are and how much you spent?" he replied. "Not sure."
.
I snorted to myself. He added, "I'm joking of course."
