Hello Everyone! Lynn, my wife Fie, Pia, Jamie, CeCe, Lithi, Ace, Kristin, Erin
Hello Darlings!
All my dear ones, I’ve missed you so very much! I usually have posts that are bright and upbeat but this time I must offer so many apologizes. I disappeared on several wonderful friends and I truly feel bad. It has weighed heavy on my heart…I started on LJ when I was going though a real tough time and you all gave me unconditional love, friendship and acceptance. I am still so grateful for your friendships. I don’t believe what some folks say…that it’s not real if it’s online. Companionship and kindness is felt in the heart and soul…those parts of us don’t know the different between a keyboard, phone call or a cup of coffee. Not that I haven’t wished I could sit and drink coffee with each of you!
I was thinking that I didn’t want to burden you with the long tale of the past year and why I wasn’t on LJ all this time then I realized that I should have been here all along! Not to burden of course, but to share, vent, just ramble. I’ve always waited until I had a story or photos or was in a delightfully good mood and had lots of time to make a perfect post. When I really should take a moment here or there to let out stress, say hi, see what friends are doing. I did pop in and read from time to time…making sure you were all okay. I realized the real benefit of LJ isn’t the slash or pics but the people. Someplace where you can write your feelings, thoughts and maybe someone feels the same or has a comforting word. Not that the hot men posts are something want to give up! *wink*
Well, to make a long story short…as many of you know I teach high school (no, by no means am I your average teacher! lol) I teach in a poor urban district so we’re over worked and understaffed. Plus, I had several enormous changes in my schedule this past year. Some truly wonderful (teaching photo!) and some stressful but mostly I just had too damn much to do! I’m just now finishing some schoolwork and it’s the middle of my summer! Augh!
Things snowballed and I took on to much…too nice to say no and trying to impress the bosses (very poor schools don’t have good job security sometimes) so I was sleeping less and less which made me overtired and got further behind etc etc plus my health suffered. Just getting stressed thinking about it! I hope to get anything done in the next few days so I can rest and do some art before I’m back at school. And I want to write!!! LOL There’s a terrible shortage of hot swim slash around here! 2008 is just around the corner, Ladies!
So, that’s it…I’m putting last year behind me, taking the important lessons though…friends, health, peace are too valuable to lose. Live is too short to be that busy and that stressed! Although, I love the kids my sensitive, artistic personality doesn’t lend itself to the chaos of school life anyway. Someday, I hope to make a living making art and writing romantic porn but until then I plan to make work as calm as possible. Which includes taking time to breath, think, sleep, keep in touch with friends *hugs you all!* and create even if it’s just a little! I did find out that the San Francoise Art Institute has one of the first Summer MFA degrees!!!! Like a doctorate for artists so I could teach college! Plus I don’t think I’d get turned down there. They even have a class on gay art! (My portfolio was rejected from the local Midwest universities! Hmm…I wonder why?!)
Speaking of which, I do have a new love! Thoogie will always be my first and I’ve even been finishing up some fics I started last summer but I’m afraid the Brokeback boys stole my heart (and other parts! *naughty giggles* No way I could resist that Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger!!
I’ve even started reading and writing some slash for them. I went to the BBM communities to find comfort after the story and I wasn’t the only one who didn’t like the ending…several people write alternative endings and additional stories lines for Jack and Ennis plus Jake and Heath! I haven’t had a chance to post…you all were my first concern! I did just open two new journals that I’m going to start working in. brokebackmoment and my new main journal princesslacy For those of you who remember I started as lacyforthorpey but my (grown?) sister and sister-in-law found it and starting reading blah blah so I went to the very anonymous Swimcrush which will stay activity for all my swim lust but I decided I wanted my journal to represent all of me not just my swim interests. So I said fuck it and opened a new one, plus when they didn’t get a big reaction from me or my Mom…yeah they told my mommy on me, yeah they’re in their 30’s! *eyeroll* Of course, all my mom said was can you make any money writing that coz teachers don’t make enough! LOL Love my mom!
Anyway, please come be my friend at princesslacy coz that’s one I’m going to use unless I have swimslash or BBM slash. I hope you all don’t care if I add you to my new f-list! I’d be lost without you!
Seriously, though I want to give a sincere apologize to everyone I’ve neglected this year…emails that didn’t get answered, beta jobs I didn’t get done, comments and calls that weren’t returned, birthday wishes that didn’t get sent…
Everyone, especially, Lynn, my wife Fie, Pia, Jamie, CeCe, Lithi, Ace, Kristin, Erin…please don’t let me forget anyone! Please forgive and come see me at my new journal or comment here! I miss you all so much and have much to say! I want to hear what everyone is doing too!!!
Until then all my love, hugs and kisses!
Lacy
