I have read all of the small trove from my Saskatoon trip now and didn't dislike any of it! A brief write-up of them:

---How Do We Relationship: this was the other one on my wish list and it was a lot of fun. One reviewer said the two college women would really be far better as friends than lovers and I think that's probably true, but since this is ( Read more... )

So I created an OKCupid profile, with input from Danae, and help with photos from my sweetie Erik (a professional photographer) back in the Chicago area. It feels *so* good to be in happy, functioning poly relationships. Especially after the train wreck that was my relationship with my ex.

But anyway.

I'm kind of terrified of OKC. I was never on it ( Read more... )

I started playing this furry dating game that's free on Steam. I met a few interesting people in the intro where you're out at a social space. I followed up with this very cute writer/poet boy and went to a bookstore with him to listen to an author speak, then surprised him with a signed copy of the author's newest book. His response was so ( Read more... )

With a little bit of advice and feedback, I have a personal ad written up. Rather than just looking at the free and electronics sections of Craigslist, I opened up the personals section as I thought about posting it. The nature of most of what is there makes me uncomfortable, making me shy away from the thought of putting something out there myself ( Read more... )

I never wrote about the cuddle party I was planning to attend a couple of weeks ago. It's because I didn't manage to attend it. I was sure it was on a Sunday. I arrived that morning with hot cocoa mix and hummus and chips to share. I was wearing my new pajamas and even was feeling brave enough to put my hair in pigtails. But I was a day late. The ( Read more... )

On Wednesday, HR at the place I applied had checked my references and said they'd get back to me, "most likely tomorrow", with the next steps. Yesterday, I emailed in the morning and left voice mail in the afternoon to follow up but still have not heard back. It seems I'm going to have to start a real job hunt again today. A friend had a dog- ( Read more... )

Late last night, I returned home from a trip to a free dental clinic in Indianapolis. I got a needed filling done, and my traveling companions got work of their own taken care of. With memes going around expressing curiosity about how long it will be until Gofundme is the nation's largest healthcare provider, I wonder if we'll eventually start ( Read more... )

A friend shared a link to an article about how to maintain a queer identity while in a relationship that most people read as straight. (Link to the article) It's certainly something I've thought a lot about, so I was curious about what are, I assume, some widely-shared thoughts on the issue. A few pieces of it left me feeling disempowered (though ( Read more... )

I've been feeling generally and consistently better lately. My anxiety seemed pretty under control. I was feeling some depression, which came as a surprise to me, but it was managable. I was starting to figure out where that was coming from and how to get a handle on it consciously, like I have with the anxiety. I was starting to feel like the ( Read more... )

It's rare that I have a dream that seems so closely and directly tied to past experience and current thoughts. I was back together with my ex for some reason, and we moved into this interesting apartment building that was all loft conversions. It turned out that it was something like a swinger's complex. She had existing relationships with a number ( Read more... )
