After more than a full year, I'm finally writing again, a novel -- a very long novel, at that (we're talking in the nature of 800 pages, maybe), which I probably won't finish. But at least it feels like I'm doing something again.

In other news, I'm creating a picture log of injuries I've received at work (and, to a lesser extent, during my Krav...

Man, nothing throws a wet blanket over a baseball fan's summer like missing their old yard. I feel you.
desdmonia:
What is the novel going to be about?

Man, your body is looking fucking sexy there, Sir! The marks make it even hotter.

Sorry, had to let that perv out.

So, the person with whom I've now had a two-night stand (with possibly a couple more to go, who really knows?) tells me I'm "very good at sex" (her words, after she had come three times last night). Considering she was the one who broke my two-year dry spell last week, during which time I was seriously growing to doubt many things about myself, I'm...

Lightning out in the hill country is amazingly beautiful. Seeing an entire tree of lightning spokes stretch forth across the night sky is stunning. I actually pulled my car over on the side of the empty road and just got out and watched for a few minutes. I like city living, but moments like these are really something special.
desdmonia:
I bet its beautiful. Take some photos for us! smile

I need to have sex. Not a straightforward one-night stand like I had the other night (the first time I had had sex at all in almost two and a half years), but kinky, bondage-laden sex. I haven't done that since I was with the girl I thought I was going to marry, more than three years ago. I could be the dom or the...

You would be such an adorable bottom smile
desdmonia:
I can just picture seeing those big beautiful eyes filled with fear and excitement below me prior to torturing you. Sigh.

It would be interesting to see those eyes in top space, too!

There's a kid at work right now that I see a lot of my younger self in. Don't get me wrong, his situation is way more difficult than mine ever was; but when I see how difficult it is for him to fit in with the other boys (and girls), and see how awkward he is around them, and see all the genuine acts of...

Wow. Yeah therapy would probably help with this job you've got now. I would not be able to deal with seeing so much tragedy, but I commend you for fighting the good fight <3 Sending you lots of love kiss I do love your updates, even if they are not always happy.. it gives me hope that you are still out there helping these kids.
laurelin:
thanks for the powerbomb advice!! I definitely need to work on that. It's tough working with the group of girls I do since we are all so inexperienced. They're all self taught, and mainly we all just roll around and toss a few cool moves in here and there. So that powerbomb was off like, one week's practice that was basically watching a YouTube video, ha! Now that I'm having proper training I'm pumped to get back out there and improve smile

Today I helped keep a good kid who deserves to stay at the shelter where I work out of juvenile lockup, despite the judge assigned to his case being notoriously hard on juvenile offenders. Days like this, I love my job.

Also, thanks to some intense workouts recently, the abdominal "V" now explicitly compliments my six-pack abs. Boo yah.

Also, two weeks ago, this all...

Nights like these are emotionally draining. There are the extreme highs and the extreme lows. The high is that I'm really fucking good at my job -- I found out how to get a very withdrawn teen to open up to me, as long as we were sort of talking in code and not specifically referencing him or his life, when NO OTHER staff member...

I admire what you do even though I can't do it. I have the patience, just not the correct temperament. Thank you for all that you do to help people and remember to take time for yourself...
desdmonia:
Heh, yep! I was recently hacked so changed it to a not so realistic name tongue

Nights like these plant a kernel of anger in me that will never go away. There's a relatively new kid in the boys' cottage at work, a 16 year-old who's been pretty withdrawn but is slowly getting better. He has a history of gang involvement, but every time I've spoken to him he's seemed pretty shy and easygoing. I learned tonight that he really doesn't...

These teens at the shelter where I work can curse me out, ignore me, and do all manner of untoward things, but there's one thing they STILL can't do: beat me in basketball.

Ha. You are the man.

And thanks for the note on my last journal. Meant a lot to me, and I appreciate it.
teaghan:
Working in a shelter must be pretty hard work.
At least you somehow have the upper hand haha
You must have spades of patience

I miss Ireland....

desdmonia:
Aww, that was the sweetest testimonial smile

I've never been to Ireland, but given that the accent makes my panties fall off, I'd like to go someday biggrin

Started Krav Maga training today. In addition to the surety that I will be sore as all hell tomorrow, I have no skin on the knuckles of my right hand. None.
yceberg324:
Go kick ass...
desdmonia:
Sexy.
