My never ending quest to find a cute, reasonably smart, bi, kinky, and single (or at least can play alone) girl has still turned up nothing. frown I don't have any radar, and I don't know how to approach a girl randomly on the street. At a play party or something, I'm much more comfortable, but I haven't seen any cute girls a bit closer to...

I tried some caffeine, no good. I wish I could take a bubble bath, but I live in a dorm... frown Oh well. My solution is going to be to go to bed early, but not too early, so I have to sit here and waste time for a while.

You poor thing, it's tough trying to find a just-right person. I would almost volunteer myself except that I am b) taken, and d) terrified of all people.
venice:
There's no particular reason I'm terrified of people, that I know of. I just ended up that way, I guess. There's social anxiety stuff, and then just plain old shyness, and fear of judgement and all that, fear of rejection definitely, and of being an imposition. I'm afraid of touching people too, or of being touched. I don't know. Tons of weird repressed issues? It's one of those things I would like to figure out but haven't yet.

Yeah, the english version of the Little Prince. Although I've considered getting the French version just for the heck of it, too. I took some French, and according to my professor, I was really good at it, but I don't believe her. Anyway, it would motivate me to keep in practice, just a little.

Back from the wild, this woodland creature is. wink Camping was great. It rained a bit, we survived. Lots of sailing, fishing, kayaking, hiking, etc. Aradia is a great cook even over the campfire, and a pyro, so we were awfully warm most of the time.

We got back yesterday, and decided to go to a play party last night, because we missed our perverted friends....

Stop following me! Bwahahaha.
Your hair was awesome today, that was really well done.
BTW, your leash was left there, it's on the lost-n-found wall
justmee:
Glad you had so much fun. I'd fish, and camp, and sail, and kayake, but I'd have no idea where to begin. Hell, I can't even get my ass to a hiking trail!

Have fun partying!!!

Well, this will be my last post before camping. Here's the update:

Aradia's kayak will be getting it's final coat of paint in about two hours. After that dries for a good four hours or so, we're off. We were not able to finish mine-but hey, my birthday is in a couple of weeks *wink wink*

The weather is supposed to be great. I will...

Well here's another update:

Yesterday, it looked as though we weren't going to get the kayaks done, or rather, my kayak in particular. But, Aradia stayed up all night last night, and got mine all but done. Wow.

So on today's plate is:

1. Get some quarter cut oak for the coaming (the steam bent round opening of the cockpit)
2. Steam bend it.
3....

Well, yesterday I went to RCDC and modeled for the erotic spanking demo. Quite fun I must say. I got to show off the heart on my ass that I'm so proud of. You should have heard the oooh's and aaahhhs the came from the crowd when the presenter told them the heart was a cutting. Being on BME, a huge fan of the modern...

Thanks smile

I always forget that not everyone in the world has piercings and tattoos, too. And that not everyone spends this much time looking at naked girls. It's a weird world out there.
venice:
Ha, I don't even have any mods, and I look ever so sweet and innocent. I have been mistaken for a perfect, naive, sweet little girl my whole life, and it drives me absolutely nuts. But yeah, I guess it has a good side, like people not thinking you're some kind of hoodlum. I can get away with a lot, because I guess I put off this aura of responsibility or something. It's weird.

Well we've began to build my kayak. Yay!

Aradia's dad is still alive. Yay! They'll be moving him from ICU today.

It's finally Friday. Yay!

And lastly, it sunny outside. Yay!

Boy, I feel like I should open a bottle of champagne and celebrate. Somehow, I don't think my boss would appreciate that though. Ah well.

Anyway, happy Friday to ya, hope it's your Friday...

Great job with the kayak. I've been thinking of doing it myself. I'd really want to give it a shot before I shell out the cash for a kayak.

Oh and have you ever been to sunset pool? Next to sunset hs. I work there we have open kayak use 8:30 to 10:00 Wednesday and Thursday nights. Would be awesome to see the finished kayak.

It was really good meeting you tonight. Hopefully you and Aradia went home and did some homework wink.

Well, a couple of things have happened.


1. We didnt quite finish Aradias kayak frame yesterday like we hoped, but were damn close. Itll be done today, and we will also have time to work on mine. That takes us from being a day and a half behind, to only a half a day behind, and considering we bought some new tools, and learned some...

Another update:

We ran into a couple bumps over the weekend. Our bandsaw temporarily died, and then last night, we blew the braker and had to call it quits for the night because we had to wait for the maintance man to flip the switch in the morning (we don't have access to it for the garage). However, we have managed to stay more or...

Wow! Such an undertaking! As one who has difficulty constructing a paper airplane, I am extremely impressed! You should snap some pictures of your progress and post them here at SG. I'd be most interested to see them. smile

PS: I really love classical music, too. Often have Debussy or Mozart playing in my head (typically at work, where I am forever trying to maintain a "positive attitude.")

You have to put up pictures of the kayaks when you're done, you two are my heroes!

Well, here's an update.

We've began building, and we're actually a hair ahead of schedule. Whoo-hoooo!

1. We've got almost all the jigs and forms built.

2. We've got our steam-box for steam bending built.

3. We've all but finished the work on the gunnels (the outside beams of the boat that run from stearn to bow)

4. We finished all the mortising (little holes...

Well, went kayaking yesterday. It was a blast. I'm VERY sore. Our instructor happened to be really into Greenland Kayaks, and has built a couple of his own. He offered to give us instruction after we build ours.

Aradia just walked in and said he CD player died. Pooh. We need to clean the garage and get working.

Well, these next three weeks could get very interesting.

I'm going kayaking tomorrow. Depending on if I like it, Aradia and I are going to attempt to build 2 traditional Greenland Kayaks in less than 3 weeks. Typically, it takes about three weeks to build one.

The average is 70 hours or so per kayak. So 140 hours over about 18 or 19 days. That's...

I'm going to be a demo model Aug. 30 at RCDC for a spanking workshop. I get to have lines drawn on my butt, and I get to show off my heart. smile

I totally wish I could see the spanking demo! How much fun!
amaryllis111:
spanking workshop, that's great! I went up to Bagbie hot springs, fucking cool place! and did bridge pedal. and was stoned the whole time. can't beat that. although I did become an official portlander by getting my tire caught in the street car tracks and doing a mid-intersection side crash while still clipped into my pedals. doh!
woohoo just got my tattoos about an hour ago too. they're fucking HOT. pictures soon love
