Hey all,
So I know it's been awhile since I've posted anything of substance. I know, I've been bad. Flog me. I might enjoy that actually...
Which brings me to one of two things going on in my life. I talk occasionally with this guy I hooked up with once named Dave, and in addition to the fact he's a total sweetheart, he's deeply into the BDSM community where he is (which shall remain unnamed for his sake). And every time I talk to him I WISH so hard that I had that sort of community here. Cause, in case you don't know, I'm deeply into the idea of being in that community - I've been fascinated by it for so long, and want that experience. I've played with it a few times - with him and one other - and it was some of the most satisfying sex I've had. I'm submissive in bed, and being taken control of, being told what to do and when to cum was a revelation about my sex drive. Being pinched and paddled and smacked and denied and whatnot was amazing.
And I'm tired of wishing for that community. I know like one kinky person in State College, and that's unhappy making, so I'm going to be doing something about it. And I'm going to start with a tangentially related (by virtue of it being about sexuality) subculture - polyamory. I know like a dozen people here who are poly or in poly relationships, and I'm going to be starting a discussion group about it this summer. I know - it's not BDSM and there might not be any overlap, but it's something. And the kink oriented discussion group around here would be dull with only two people.
The second thing going on in my life is that I've been reexamining my food - I'd been thinking about going vegan for awhile, and now I actually am. All I have to do from this point is eat the rest of the non-vegan food in my cupboard (I'm not just tossing it - that'd be a total waste and against the reasons I'm doing this) which at this point consists of a few granola bars (damn you Kashi for having honey in ALL of yours) and bullion cubes (why do vegetable based bullion cubes contain whey in the first place, huh?!?). It's going really well the past two weeks weeding out non vegan stuff - I already feel better. More - I dunno, healthy? I mean, there are a ridiculous number of prepared foods I can't eat now, so I've been cooking almost everything. And my cooking starts with like, lentils or beans or rice or whole grain pasta or veggies or fruit or stuffs, and that's all totally good for you. I've found myself falling in love with the idea of eating avacados and coconut milk a lot more often (I never used to get them cause they're high in fat, and when eating cheese every day it was bad) and eating the walnuts I've wanted. It's also super cheap - prepared foods are uber expensive apparently.
Only thing is that around here, I pretty much can't go out to eat anymore. There's like a few places I know of that do vegan things, but other than that not so much. So my friend and I are gonna do a cooking dinner thing once the semester is over, and that should be good. And, bonus, my coworker made a casserole that I could eat for the employee appreciation day today, which was tasty. I made sure to thank her, cause it was totally unexpected (last time she made a chicken/cheese/pasta casserole thing).
I feel better now that I've been reaching out to people. I love my friends here, but it's sometimes hard being the only one who is poly/bdsm/veg*n/stuff and I like the idea of connecting more with like minded others (plus, I genuinely do like the people I've been reaching out to).
