( Warning, contains whining. )

Hi folks!

I've had no chance to catch up with livejournal for several weeks now, so apologies to everyone I've been failing to read. With a bit of luck I might get chance to catch up at some point!

At any rate, last weekend was BiCon and there are a few topics that came up which I wanted to follow up of which this is the first.

Poly 201

Hi, I'm a polyamorous woman, and I don't exist. In fact, I don't believe that polyamorous people exist.

“Huh?” I hear you say. “But you just declared yourself polyamorous. Up there! It says so!”

I did, and I do. I call myself polyamorous because I see this as an important part of how I relate to other people in my life. So I call myself poly in the ( Read more... )

This is a little out of the blue, as it started as a forum post up until I realised I was proselytizing. Then I decided to put it here instead, since what else is a blog for?

This will no doubt be the first of many rambles, as poly is a large part of my life, ( Read more... )

I noticed this question when I logged in this morning, which inspired a brief digression.

It wasn't actually in a bar, but a coffee shop, but I have bought a drink for a stranger. It was my Australian friend's birthday, and she had asked that, rather than presents, her many long-distance friends performed a 'random act of kindness' and reported it ( Read more... )

I've been busy. Crazy busy. Sorting out Polyday and moving house, and everything all happening at once, and I'm not sure quite when I'll have a regular net connection again - we're due to be connected on wednesday, with a bit of luck ( Read more... )

I really have no idea where to start with commenting on this article on triad relationships versus sensible poly- anyone care to start?
