Not that I've been here recently or regularly enough that anyone was likely to be wondering, but since I popped by... February was busy. I work for a national company whose mainstay is flower delivery, so as you might expect, Valentine's Day is one of our busiest times (second only to Mother's Day). Lots of sales calls in the weeks leading up, and service calls after. I survived the post-peak-season cutbacks so I'm almost certainly employed for at least a few more months, which is good. This week, back to part-time hours. Kink-wise, nothing, of course -- though having some nice personal discussions with a friend who is also kinky (and female, but submissive, alas) who has recently found a dominant she seems to be getting along well with, though they can't see one another often enough. Still, good to have someone I actually know that I can discuss the issues and frustrations with, and who doesn't think I'm crazy (or at least, not for that reason). Tonight we chatted online for some time, partly about my crossdressing, the philosophical discord we both have about how I'd like to be treated (at least sometimes) with our views on sexual equality (a dilemma she faces personally, as a feminist masochist), and how it seems to be far more a hindrance than a help in seeking partners (kinky or otherwise, though the latter is perhaps more obvious). Also, on my own experiences at play parties, something she'd like to try but is terrified of -- not that I've been to many (four, over a period of over then years) but still, more than she has. I've proposed we try some mutual support in our searching, but working out the details may prove impractical. (Also, she may not be actually searching now.) Otherwise, mood up and down, socially still to isolated but that's difficult to deal with in my living situation. Crossing my fingers that an opportunity that's arisen at work may lead to an improvement there. And worrying about one of my roommates, who has gotten paranoid in a way I find disturbing, another reason I'd like to change my living arrangements... And just generally, mystified by all you happy, successful people who seem to have a clue how to go about this life business. How'd you manage that? Well, keep it up, you may motivate some of us a bit.
