Back from camp and having a tough time adjusting to the ‘real’ world. I plan to blog about my time, but it’ll have to wait until this weekend. Tonight, I need to pay some bills, take a shower and get some sleep.
Night all 
In just 13 short hours, I’ll be on the road to DOSC ’08. I hope it doesn’t rain and I don’t have any panic attacks. See ya’ll on the flip side!
These are a few of the items I plan to bring to camp. Fortunately, I’m driving down in an SUV so I can fit all of this crap!! Continue reading ‘DOSC 08 packing list’
So much for the fuck-fest I was thinking of for DOSC’08. Recent events have left me more STD-paranoid than ever which makes me totally uninterested in sex. I’m trying not to be really annoyed about it. I’m trying to focus on the positive. I’m trying not to think about it as a wasted $600+ on a sex weekend without the sex. Add to all that my new shrink wants to start weaning me off one of my anxiety meds. Argh, meh and grrr don’t even begin to cover how I’m feeling right now.
Taken from the DO website:
Imagine a vacation which brings together sexuality, spirituality, education, and play in a fun, diverse environment where fantasy becomes reality.
Dark Odyssey: Summer Camp 2008, a journey of sexual exploration for the spiritual and creative sex-positive communities returns for its sixth year. It will be held at a secluded, two hundred acre retreat in Northern Maryland. Our mission is to cross-pollinate ideas and concepts between groups of individuals who desire to explore different areas of alternative sexuality.
I can hardly wait to see old friends, get away from my job and fuck my brains out! Yippee!!
This past Saturday, Seraphin and I went to the Eighth Annual Butterfly Festival from 12 to 4pm at the Watershed Reserve in NJ.
This year there weren’t many types of butterflies but I still took a lot of pictures and had a great time at the visitor center and the various ‘green’ booths.
It always strikes me as weird that Lady Bugs, Butterflies and Fireflies don’t gross me out but every other type of bug makes me squeal. For instance, at the Festival, there was an Insect Zoo and one of the attractions was Madagasgar Hissing Cockroaches. Eeeewwwwww! Those suckers are huge and they scurry/scuttle just the way the german ones do but they are huge!!! (shudder)
It seems that I am taking on too much (again) and the pressure is so much that I’m letting things slip. I lost my glasses, forgot my keys, left my phone charger behind, and the list goes on.
I talked to a few people about it and it looks like I need to cut back in order to regain some balance. That means I’m going to be saying No a lot more often. Not to you, my fans and online friends – I have already cut back here so much that any more would be like walking away and I’m just not going to do that. So who will bear the brunt of my new limits? Good question. I’m still mulling that one over.
Oh, and last weekend I was in Arizona visiting my grandparents. It was really nice but not quite long enough.
Nothing else for now – Need to get to bed so I can wake for work in the morning. <hugs>
Today was just terrible. If we could go back and erase it, I’d be a happy girl.
There were massive layoffs at my job today. A lot of people I thought of as friends are gone – just gone – and that makes me sad.
Things aren’t going well for Flagg and that makes me very sad.
How’s that song go? “If wishes were trees, the trees would be falling.” Yeah, I’d trade a whole forest for my friend if I could.
(hugs)
That’s the tag line for some car commercial currrently running during prime time. I don’t know what to say about it, except that it’s a really good question in today’s instant-gratification-mtv-culture. <shrugs>
