This puppy is long, so read only if you find yourself bored or such. 🙂
FYI: I didn’t filter this to a dirty filter so some people may want to skim more than normal. This is your warning.
Cut for length and some mildly explicit stuff–but nothing too dirty.
And I am letting Noah talk me into coming home early. So uhm…
I’ll uhhh be home uhm… later today. 🙂 *bounce* Yay!
In addition to going to TESfest and performing with the hottest Bridgett ever I was asked last night to move my flight dates up a few days and perform at the Exotic Erotic Ball in NYC the weekend before the con.
Oh I forsee much hotness in NY this summer… meow
Let me explain, no–there is too much. Let me sum up.
Travel was a nightmare. There were so many delays that it was just un-fuckingbelievable. I don’t want to ever fly to Chicago again. The place is cursed. You can’t get in and you can’t get out.
Noah and I traded off being cranky and traveling together seems to work very well–yay! Yeah, he’s the right one.
The con itself was very eh. The classes were not particularly inspiring. I felt that there wasn’t much that challenged me.
I got to see some really wonderful people that I rarely see and that was cool. I met more new people at this con than I probably ever have before.
I got to see my Julia and my Bridgett. Ok, the travel was worth it.
I got suspended and I tied up a hot boy and I kicked around another hot boy. Not a bad weekend.
I was a complete and total bitch to japlady and her father. *sigh* Will I ever grow up?
I am really sick of waking up with the sun no matter what timezone I am in.
I missed Google Boy something fierce. I am so happy I get to see him tonight.
Chicago food does *not* agree with my tummy. Next time I am at the food mercy of japlady I need to put my foot down about not so much greasy meat. Ugh. My stomach still feels disgusting. 🙁
But overall I had fun and I’m glad I went. I am mostly sorry about the days missed from work but such is life.
If I showed up on Tuesday morning and came home Wednesday morning-ish (I have a class at 3:30 in SJ) who would be interested in seeing me?
Cough up schedules, people! 😉
I don’t wanna go home. I don’t wanna not see my friends up here for a long time. I don’t wanna miss the connection I have with some truly amazing women. I don’t wanna go a while without having bruises so big I can’t cover them with my hands. I don’t wanna go another couple of years without getting to really delve into the depths of my mind. I don’t wanna lose me and I had me this weekend.
I don’t know if I am going to be coherent or not, but I have another hour until my flight and I want to babble and no one is required to read this so I can babble all I want. 😛
Portland
So. I will be going to Portland on Thursday afternoon and coming home Tuesday afternoon. This means I have nearly 6 days of fun in the… rain? Oh wait… that’s California…
So! I am going to be at Kinkfest quite a bit. Who else will be? I’m curious like. I am also interested in seeing people! 🙂 Pandora, Jaguar, and Bridgett being some of the highest people on that list of “want to see!!!!!!!” I will be staying with Dad across the river in Vancouver and I don’t think I have access to a car so I am at the mercy of kindly people.
I’m also hunting for play partners for Kinkfest because I haven’t done much bdsm in a long time and I think that should change! 😉 Topping, bottoming… I’ll talk with specific hot people (i.e. those reading this post.)
I’m also trying to decide clothes because cons are the place where I get to show off what a tremendous clothes whore I am. I know that I will have three play parties to attend and two days of classes. So how about if I throw this open to the peanut gallery for some tips. No, you don’t get pictures to go along with the descriptions.
Dorothy outfit: it’s a slutty Dorothy though with a very short skirt and pantalets and platform ruby slippers.
Snow White. Need I say more?
Chain mail outfit: it’s a thin strapped shirt with a short skirt. It took me over a year to make but it is worth it.
Victorian skirt with my Dark Garden corset. Dad actually wants me to bring this one so it isn’t really a maybe.
Latex in some form or another. I have lovely black pants, a red pencil skirt, a red shirt… there are others that I can’t remember.
Black leather ball gown. Looks best with white leather waist cincher.
I have a variety of pvc skirts and dresses. These pack up smaller than most of this other stuff does.
Girdles. Mmmmmm
pink crinoline with who knows what cute top. I always find something. 🙂
I think that is all I am coming up with.
Thoughts?
lj is just bloody convenient for some things.
Would it be possible for a Pryankster person to share the schedule of events with me? I would really like to know what is happening when with a bit more advance notice than the list gives us. I didn’t have writing implements with me on Saturday…
Tentative dates for visiting with lovely people and general travel:
February 25-26 Hikers Hut with some high school friends. I’m pretty terrified about this one…
March 24-26 Portland!! I’m going to Kinkfest baybee. This is set cause I have plane tickets and all. 🙂
April 7-9 Eureka. I would drive up early on Friday and home on Sunday. (Would any random people like to go see anyone up there and we could carpool? ribbin you could go see your bro!) If not that weekend the next weekend the 14-16?
May 19-21 Disneyland. I am going to go back and I would love it if other people would come with. 🙂
May 26-28 Chicago for Shibaricon. 🙂
Sometime June 11-30ish I want to go on a backpacking trip. I am really interested in finding people to come with me! I am going to block out this time for that kind of trip whether anyone comes with or not, but it would be far more fun to have friends.
And if I get the job next year at ST I will not be going to Europe in January for a long stretch so I am going to pick a country and go there late July/early August. I am going to shoot for missing faire if possible. I am going to try and find someplace not scorchingly hot as well.
And given that I plan to spend as much of the year at faire as I can… I’m not going to be around much on weekends this year at all. I need to get my ass in gear sewing costumes. Any ideas for patterns that I should buy would be very very welcome. I would also like to come up to Davis sometime in the next month or two and have some down-time with the people I love so much up there.
I could potentially go up to Davis on the 19th of February (Sunday) and come back Monday during the day. Or the 18/19 of March… What do ya’ll think?
I know freaks. Maybe freaks are cool with hosting other freaks? If you are interested I would love to link up with you. 🙂
Want to post about the delicious time I had in New York. But… must pack and sleep… I have to be awake in 5 hours so that I can go jump on another damn plane.
(I almost want to complain only I feel so freakin jet-set and awesome and special.) Tomorrow at this time, I am very likely to still be in Disneyland…
My life, it does not suck.
My holidays just got a hair happier when the last week and the next week were already spifftacular.
I’ve had a couple of mood slumps and weird stuff going on in my head, but I’m fighting to keep the cheerfulness. My Christmas should be absolutely rockin and I am looking forward to it more than I can express.
I have caught up on almost all of the 350 back emails I had to go through. I think I have 5 left.
I have enjoyed the time with Julia, even though I am a slug and not very entertaining. I have spent too much time online. I am looking at the time as brain de-frag. I am pretty caught up on sleep and that is awesome.
I get to trot down to NYC tomorrow and see two lovely, wonderful people. I am excited!
On Friday when I get back I am going to go see Rent with Julia and her boyfriend. That will be fun. 🙂 Then I get up early in the morning and run off to the airport!
On Saturday I fly to LA and go to DISNEYLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will still be at Disneyland on Sunday and Monday!!!!!!!!
I fly home on Tuesday. I have papers to grade. Heh.
I’m pretty happy right now.
AWAKE!!!!!!! I am awake. Like, very awake. Like… ready to bounce off the walls… But I am still in bed cause it is warm here. It is also way too early. I fell asleep at 11 last night cause that is as late as I could keep my eyes open and I woke up at 7:30. This would be great only my body thinks it was 8-4:30. Cause I know this doesn’t feel like 7:30 to me.
I spent lots of time yesterday with my Julia. It was lovely and fabulous. We got to talk how we haven’t been able to talk in person in a very long time. Have I mentioned that I have really missed her? She challenges me in all sorts of good ways. We talked about what we each want out of life. Talking with her about that feels different than it does with most people. I feel like I am talking to someone who has dealt with the same shit, so is coming from the same starting place. I don’t know if it is awful of me, but I get kind of pissy when I talk to people who have had life very easy who want to talk to me about where my goals are. Fuck you. Don’t tell me what I should be striving for. I’m really kind of awful like that. Julia can question me; she has the life experience to do so.
I had a weird dream about running away to home early. I got on a bus because I *just had to leave*. Which I can’t imagine because I feel more comfortable here than I have on a vacation in a very long time. I used to feel this comfortable at Max’s house in Seattle. Other than that… I can’t remember feeling this comfortable outside my home. I’m willing to bet that right now it has to do with the fact that I might as well be here because I don’t feel super comfortable at home yet anyway.
Still up in the air as far as NYE goes. I have several options. I can get into Debaucherama free cause I won the slut contest last year–but I really don’t think I want to go. I can go to a birthday party where I will sort of know the birthday girl and her partner and no one else. I think my current plan is to go to a party that a bunch of college friends host every year… but I didn’t go to college with them. I will know about four people at that one. Although I have met most of the people there a few times cause I have been dropping in on this party for years, I just normally only spend a little bit of time there.
I started rambling about sex. So I’ll close this entry and start one behind a different filter…
All of a sudden I am getting nervous.
I don’t know why. I like flying. I am fine with flying alone. I like Julia and I am excited to see her. I have done everything I need to do. I’m even packed with more than an hour to spare!
Why am I nervous? I don’t get it. In about 9 hours I will be able to snuggle my girly. That will be lovely. Nothing nervous making in that…
I feel like I need to memorize my house and I don’t know why. I guess I could do more futzing with stuff to bring. I haven’t actually decided yet if I want to bring grading or not. I kind of think that I should give myself permission to not have to carry the *weight*. I will have more than a week when I get back to grade. I will just bring a couple of books. I am going to read Huck Finn for the first time (I’m going to teach it in about 6 weeks–I should read the freakin thing) and I should bring one or two that are just candy for me. Ok, picked them out and they aren’t pure candy but they sound good. The Bonfire of the Vanaties and Tom Jones. It’ll be good. 🙂
I’m trying to convince myself that I am independent and that I like alone time. It hasn’t worked yet.
This probably would have been more rantlike last night or early this morning, so maybe it is a good thing I’ve had a little time and quite a few orgasms since then. I feel much more mellow.

Looks like I will be skipping Kinkfest…
The SF Fetish Ball is that weekend. It is cheaper, it is local. It will be a fucking rocking party. yay!
I went through SOJ’s calendar this morning (hey, do you think I actually want to be cleaning my room right now? Hell no!)
I put a bunch of leather events on my official calendar. I will be very tentative about accepting dates for these events. I want someone who will play, or I want to go network in the kink scene. I’m ready to get back on that horse.
*deep breath*
I can do this.
I am against stupid, tacky, kitchy sorts of presents. I think they are fucking retarded. That means when I go on trips I go to ‘normal’ shopping places and look for things that are unusual, but something that I would buy as a present for someone for a regular occasion–not just because it says, “Ireland” on it.
This means that the pressies I bring back from trips are very sketchy. I will not buy something just to give a particular person ‘something.’ I find things for somewhat random people in my life and it just fits to me so I buy it. That means that getting a pressie for someone or not getting a pressie for someone is not a reflection of “I like you more than so and so” it just means that I didn’t find anything that screamed out your name and I’m not going to waste my money and your space on something stupid. I like you too much.
End of public service announcement.
Yayyyyyyyyyyy I’m home!!!!!!!!!
Home. Tired. Sleep soon.
