This Time
Last
Year | Hi guys. Yeah, I'm ok. I'm feeling pretty
sane these days, so much so that I've reduced my St. John's Wort from 3 a
day to 2 a day. (This section has been censored. Ugly, ain't it?) Well,
the truth of the matter is that I *didn't* have my shit together last year
- I had job nightmares, and housing switches, and an alcoholic roommate
and the death of my father to deal with. And, no, I sure didn't handle it
with grace all the time (ok, ok, I didn't handle it with grace very often
at all). But there's no need to let the fear of *always* being like this
become a self-fulfilling prophecy. The time has past for wallowing. I
hope. | |

| So, I'm trying to reconnect with
the person who is too much like myself. Gently. I want to study my
fears, not avoid them. | |
| | |
| So, last night I went to the
Salute to Masturbation put on by Good
Vibrations and hosted by the adorable Carol Queen. She makes
everything so *positive*, telling us how her friend was an "excellent
masturbator" and beginning the evening with, "Welcome Masturbators and the
Masturbation curious!". A very positive evening for sexuality, with many
film clips from Masturbation Education videos. The finale was from Annie
Sprinkle's private collection: a long clip from "Post Porn Modernist" a
live show where Annie invited some of her sex-positive friends to
participate in a sacred prostitute ritual masturbation - in front of a
live audience in San Francisco! It was a very intense segment, with drums
and rattle and djijereedoos (I used to know how to spell that word, I
swear) and candles and 5 beautiful women covered in oil, moaning and
chanting and crying out in ecstasy - for a *long* time. I took some
notes, as I'm writing a "How to" for female masturbation in next month's
Clean Sheets. | | |

| Garden news: My morning glory
seeds have sprouted; I'm waiting for them to get bigger before I risk
putting in the ground (too close to "slug country"). I'm sorta worried,
as Sharon bought a cucumber plant (without looking into what it takes to
grow said plant) and is now wanting to use the trellis I'm planning to use
for the morning glories. Ergh! David dug that flower bed for me - before
it was just a big pile of sod that we'd all thrown in that corner. I've
converted it into a "scatter garden" which is already sprouting with
Asters, Calendula, Delphiniums, Godetias, Strawflowers, Zinnias and much
more. I was going to put the Four O'Clocks along the back, right in front
of the trellised Morning Glories, giving us day-long blooms (first blue,
then red and yellow). If I'd wanted a cucumber there, I would have
planted one myself. The birds have been pecking at the top of the pea
plants, but we're probably harvesting those for another week, then David
and I will be in intense negotiations over what to plant next in that row.
My vote is brussel sprouts - I *love* brussel sprouts, no matter how many
gagging noises David makes about it. We'll probably compromise with
various veggies - we're probably going to have year-round lettuce...it
*would* be nice to be able to come home from work and just pick a salad
out of the garden (lettuce, bell peppers, tomatos etc). Yesterday I had a
can of tomato soup spruced up with fresh oregano, basil and chives.
Yummy. Our aptly named Oak Leaf lettuce (planted a month ago now) is
looking ready to eat soon. | |

| Argh! I would type more, but my
fingers are obviously out of practice (read: aching). Have a lovely
Sunday, my dears!
