How strange. Someone I hardly know messaged me on Facebook and asked me if I enjoyed living and why. From what I know of him, he's pretty depressed, and I think he wants me to be some kind of uplifting example. I can't take care of someone I barely know, though.

i'd be kind of taken aback too. especially on FB. wth?

I'm awake in the middle of the night with what I'm pretty sure is an ear infection. My university's health center isn't open again till Monday, so I guess I'll drag myself to a Duane Reade Walk-In Clinic, 'cause this shit is miserable.

I love summer clothes. What I DON'T love is the fact that wearing summer clothes makes guys think they can disrespect me on the street. So I'm performing an experiment. A friend of mine said it worked for her. Although I'm skeptical, I'm giving it a try. It put me out $7, but I bought a fake wedding band to wear. It looks surprisingly convincing!...

Please, you was like, totally asking for it. wink

I don't think it will make much difference. The assholes out there will still be assholes.

I hope you're doing okay. Do you have any free time these days?

When I was a teenager and I got depressed and I wanted to check out of my life, I'd have all kinds of fantasies about dropping everything and running away. There was the Spain idea. The Buddhist monastery in China idea. And now I want to join a traveling carnival and get the fuck out.

Thanks sweetie!
I am sorry to hear about your dad, but I can also understand sometimes knowing that setting boundaries are what you need to do.

Yesterday a man tried to accost me on the street. I'm not sure what he was going to do, exactly, but it wasn't going to be nice. I was walking, and he came at me from the side. I threw out a block and went into fighting stance so that 1) he would be stopped from getting any closer to me than he already was...

it has been hard, thanks for your kind words. smile

how are you today?
galaxy42:
It would be great if he had never made that first move, yes... but knowing that you scared the shit out of him, and had he not backed off, could probably have leveled the douche... I think you should feel good about that.

Patience is a virtue. Being virtuous does not come naturally to me.

Virtue's overrated. Or so I've been hoping.

I think you're doing great. I've seen some wonderful changes in you. That makes me very happy.

Things haven't changed that much with me and the boy, really. I'm feeling better about giving him more space. I think he's actually found a little more time to talk to me, and during the time we've spent together he's managed to put aside the responsibilities that are draining on him. Patience, patience.

From Kahlil Gibran's "The Prophet"

But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous,but let each one of you be alone,

Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but no into eachother's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.
wsoxfan:
Looks like your attitude toward the situation is paying dividends. Whoever said that patience is a virtue knew what he or she was talking about.

I had such a great Taekwondo promotion test last night. I knew my stuff and hit everything just right, but what was special were conversations I had with three people: the Grandmaster, a senior instructor, and a junior instructor (not the one who happens to be my boyfriend).

The Grandmaster told me I'm dangerous. Best compliment ever.

The senior instructor told me I'm a great...

Congrats.
wsoxfan:
What a wonderful story and a great honor. Having so much positive reinforcement must feel very satisfying.

By the way. I'm in the city sometimes until all hours of the night. Maybe I should call on you for protection when I'm walking the dark streets of Manhattan at three in the morning.

Well, my dad goes to see the oncologist today. They think that they caught the lymphoma early and that it will be treatable. As for my bf's sister, she fractured her wrist but didn't do any more serious damage. But obviously, she's very, very psychologically disturbed to have jumped out a window.

I agree. I always seem to blog when I'm at my highest or lowest point. I'm feeling better about things.

I actually asked a woman on a date earlier today. We're going to an R&B concert next Saturday at the Theatre at Westbury. She accepted immediately, which was a good feeling. She's not in the lifestyle, which is why I didn't ask her out sooner, as I felt that she liked me. I suppose I was being pretty silly to eliminate every woman outside of the lifestyle from the possibility of forming a relationship.

Regardless, I'm looking forward to the concert and plan to have a great time.

Now that the weather is nicer, maybe we can find time to get together one of these days. My work schedule with the census bureau is pretty flexible, so maybe we can coordinate something.

I wish you and yours all the best.
wsoxfan:
Good to know. PM, text or call me when you know more about your availability. It's been much too long since we last got together.

My bf is so busy, between his work and crazy life shit, that I barely get to see him or talk to him. It sucks.
deceptiviewfilm:
texting? the new RElationship mediator
wsoxfan:
I hope his busy schedule is only temporary. If I was him, I'd make sure I made time for you.
