no more compromising; i want everything
hi friends!
i have not been up to pretty much anything, at all. my life swings back and forth quite frequently between unspeakably cool/weird and embarrassingly lame. i love it.
yesterday vaginasaurus came over and we made red velvet cupcakes (with a lot more success than last time!) and they are delicious. however, i have way too many cupcakes leftover! i cannot humanly eat all of these within the next 24 hours without vomiting, even if i end up being high the entire time. which i won't be. >.>
also, she is leaving! for good. i will miss her kindof a lot. being friends with sara is like having an online friend in your town. like, we met through vagina monologues, but the majority of our communication takes place through aim because we are that cool. she inadvertently gives me a lot to think about, and i really appreciate that. not much about our friendship will change, except for fun cupcake times! and yet, i am sad. ILU SARA DON'T GO.
and it occurred to me pretty recently that i haven't done a photopost in aaaaages. i know y'all have missed these. people have finally posted photos from the semester on fbook and i have shamelessly stolen the best of me~* for your (and let's be honest - my own) enjoyment.
so on the first weekend of october, the rest of the facilitators and i went on a retreat to Yuba City, CA. it is a tiny town near the Yuba River and we stayed in the cabin that belong to maha's family friend. on the ride there, we wanted to stop, and i was all OOH i'll use my phone's navigator to locate a target! and we will buy snacks and such. only we totally got lost and the place it said there was a target, there was no target. fucked up! but roxanne used her phone and found one nearby. when we finally got there, we were so excited we had to take photos ahaha.
you can't actually see us, but this is me, iris and roxanne in front of the golden target~*
this is our gorgeous cabin from the front. the deck wrapped almost all the way around and the bathtub had jets! cue the candlelit baths together. (no sex, though, of course. CONTRACT.)
tiffa actually studied! and i read one of the books for my thesis. for like, a moment.
kory
katie took a series of increasingly awkward photos of me in the light from the sunroof.
i honestly just have the weirdest posture sometimes, lmao.
katie making guac for our picnic.
the river, where we had our picnic. ♥
i don't want you to be misled by the photos.... it was fucking freezing ass cold in the river.
our coronasssss~* were getting warm, so we used the river as a cooler. it worked. =|
at target, they had little wineboxes! like juiceboxes, but with sangria~ it was fucking awesome.
maha and kory
my beautiful co-facilitator leah.
maha and iris (tuth 6-8)
fucking squirrels were bugging us the whole time. i accidentally hit one with a rock. i don't want to talk about it!
so what?
we're freaking out because it's freezing ass cold. but we wanted to get in anyway. so pretty!
we were being all mermaidy!
kory's laugh is one of my favorite things in the whole world.
monday-wednesday 7-9!!
just as good from behind. =D
tiffa and katie. (tuth 7-9)
it was a beautiful trip. wine boxes! backpack shakin! fuckin squirrels. gratuitous nudity, sunbathing, cold ass rivers, and a lot of love. all i could ever ask. although i did get really high and go totally overboard with snacks. that was pretty hilarious.
this year i couldn't afford to go to long beach for thankstaking, so i stayed here in berkeley, hoping to get some work done on my thesis. (i didn't.) but morgan invited me to his thankstaking arrangements in the city, so i packed up the ingredients for granny's mac and cheese and hopped on the bus (to get on the train, then catch another bus and then walk) to his place. the mac and cheese came out fucking orgasmic.
guh.
the thing about berkeley during any holiday is that it is a complete fucking ghost town. to a creepy extent. and then i got to the sf mission and life was just. going on. it was just thursday to everyone there. people were working and eating and stayin on the hustle. and i wasn't in LA surrounded by family and such~~ but i was definitely still incredibly privileged to be having a day off. to be wandering around the city, to have someone to spend the day with. i'm working on dealing with and challenging my privilege. it is an uphill battle.
anyway, morgan and a bunch of his friends in the san francisco kink community arranged to use Eros, a men's bathhouse for our dinner! it was fucking badass, and as we were waiting for eveyrone to get there, i just wandered through all of the rooms feeling like my life is terribly, terribly awesome. and sat in the sling upstairs in one of the sex areas and was just like. omg i could never fuck in this thing. BUT IT WOULD BE SO HOT. and everyone there was active in the kink community and conversation was awesome even though i'm a total fucking newb haha. i just pm drank everyone in. it was fabulous.
riplee (the pro dom on the left) reminded me soo much of my bff nina hartley. not in looks or anything, but they're both so quirky and awesome and go between that quirkiness and a palpable dominance. it's hot. seriously.
what up?
the day of interviews for next semester's facilitators, kory decided she wanted to chop all her locks off. they were making her face break out and besides, she felt like she had gotten them for a reason, and that they had done that. it was time for something new. so i whipped out my kitchen scissors during our lunch break and.
lmao. ilher.
♥
this is my bff jarod. he lives with chloe and erlinda and likes to sit on me when he has bad gas.
he also stayed up with me pretty much the whole night while i wrote my thesis. he would sit in my lap, and if i went too long without writing anything, he would paw at my pens and look at me, like he somehow understood what i was there for. he is the sweetest. (also, the stankiest)
me, leah and our students on dress sexy day. ♥
on our last class we stood in a circle and sent the camera around.
fuckindeuces. ♥
and that's pretty much it. my paper on queer fandom was actually pretty good, i think. i can post it if you're interested. =)
take care of yourselves, friends! i need to finish packing and lay around lazily. you can hit my up on aim if you so desire! (afrosandrainbows)
//EDIT: forgot to mention! you see this couch? a week before thankstaking, at porn night, we watched Couch Surfers, which actually takes place on that couch!! it was awesome
