I mean this in the most caring way possible, okay? I tend to be a bit blunt, but please bear with me. You may want to talk to a therapist about the level of general distrust you have going on. When I see things like "everyone only cares when it benefits them", "when I let people into my life...

Thanks, Bluebird! I've basically been stalking your blog since I signed up on this forum lol I love how you write! It's still stinkin' hot, but the hotel is nice a cushy! AND it has a pool, so that is good. It's like a mini-vacation, except we all have to go to work during the day. This is the...

As someone in a triad: please read up on "couple's privilege". You can just google it, look it up on this site, or on the ones that Kevin kindly posted. There are a ton of minefields you will have to cross, both as a couple looking to date together and for your elusive Lady Unicorn. The best way...

Why does it have to be just one thing that you are worried about? It could be some or all of these things, which may be why you sounds like you are feeling a bit confused. What a tangle of emotions to dig through! However... it looks to me like most of these have to do with a lack of...

Well-worded survey, but one question "Whois the person you feel closest to" (or something like that) was a bit unclear: did you mean which parental figure I am most close to (calling back the question sjust before this one), or just any person in general? I just took a shot in the dark there and...

Close enough! lol Thank you for the kind words :o We finally did go rent a hotel room. It is was gloriously cool! We're going to stay here all week, since it's supposed to be stinking hot until Friday. Jaeger even brought Mama Cat and the Kittens. Awww thank you! I have no idea what I'm...

As someone who is still deeply in the closet on several levels, I can understand your metamour's concerns. If she is afraid of rejection, and that rejection might affect how she is able to care for her child, then that is her current reality and it is a valid concern. Maybe there are additional...

"Enemies without, enemies within. It is time to construct something new. Something durable. With fortifications of of iron, stone, and steel. I will not be ruled. I will not be managed" -The Countess, American Horror Story 05.09

It's so, so hot. I can't even. I am from a far Northern clime: I am not used to this kind of heat! My indoor thermometer is reading 36C right now and that is with all the fans running and the shades down. I don't even know what to do with myself. I'm basically living in cold showers! Jaeger...

I don't think I am a very good Martha lol I don't think I could be in a relationship where cookies were given out, willynilly, possibly even to people who might not appreciate the cookies, or spill milk on the recipe and maybe ruin the cookies for everyone else. If I was worried about how Martha...

Very sad update: my air conditioner is broken. It's just shy of 34C. We three are laying on the linoleum kitchen floor with all the fans going and just sweltering. Even the pool water was nearly sauna temperature, and Jaeger and Tails don't have working A/C right now either. We are seriously...

It is pretty exciting! I'm ruminating on a few ideas I quite like. I tend to puzzle and puzzle over my works until I have them just right in my mind, then frantically pour them out onto canvas over a weekend's work (sometimes, less) lol It's been kind of a bummer of a week. My sister ended up...

I'm not a parent, but I've nannied for all my sisters's children, for up to a year each time. There is a vaaaaast difference between letting an infant cry and cry and cry, and letting a toddler endanger themselves. I'm not even sure how that is a reasonable comparison at all. Young infants...

Glasses. Oh, man, glasses. A guy or gal can be kind of so-so, and they whip out a pair of spectacles and they are immediately fifty points hotter. Especially if they are otherwise just a bit intimidating or aloof. Jaeger has this: he's this huge guy, pretty stoic, and he has these bitty reading...

I like that! I just might steal it some time.

I guess I don't really see the problem here. One, I don't have an issue with sexual identities being treated the same. Isn't that... kind of the point? If someone is treating people who identify as one thing over another differently, then they need to sort out their priorities. The only time I...

"Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light; I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night" - Sarah Williams, Twilight Hours: A Legacy of Verse “The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be...

I tend to identify as heteroflexible over bi. I have been attracted to women, and have had relationships with women, but my taste is significantly picker and requires a higher emotional component than when I am attracted to a man. Functionally I'm heterosexual, with exceptions made for...

That sounds like a really neat community. The one in my area is kind of... yeah, not like that it seems. It really limits option for learning, since a lot of the workshops happen in people's private homes and I have zero interest in going to some sleezebag's under-a-rock to watch them tie...

Oh, Spork, you gotta read Robin McKinley's "Beauty". Like whoa is that a better retelling of the Beauty/Beast saga. Actually, she does a lot of fairy-tale retelling. "Deerskin" is one of my favourite books ever, and "Spindle's End" was good too. Unfortunately her husband recently passed away and...
