| 2:48 pm | I'm visiting my parents, mainly to take a break from NY and to work on my novel, which has sadly fallen by the wayside lately. But I happened to get lucky and got here just in time to pick up a little surprise... ( Meet Anya ) |

| 3:52 pm | My Crazy Life To say that life has been crazy would be... one hell of an understatement. The short version: A lot of my friends are in the middle of large upheavals and two of my favorite couples are breaking up. So that sucks. I'm trying to help however I can. In some cases that's meant helping people find jobs and apartments in other cases it's been shots and boobies. In every case, I wish I could do more. Nonfictional Nathan is going to be a father. Trip on that. Smitty moved in a month early because his apartment building was condemned. The work on the 2nd ave subway station gradually caused it to list 18inches off plumb and he was issued a preemptive order to vacate. Yikes. It actually worked out great because it enabled me to pay rent. The apartment is even more cluttered right now since the old roommates haven't moved everything out yet and I haven't gotten a chance to get rid of the excess stuff I was meaning to. We were planning on gradually moving his stuff over but he had to do it in less than 24 hours so things got a little nutty. And THEN we went to TES Fest The first night was pretty tame. We meant to check out the dungeon and everything after dinner but we had sex and then passed out for 10 hours. Seriously, it felt like I'd been drugged. But I woke up feeling awesome, though slightly lame for coming out to a kink convention just so I could sleep. My classes went well. The first class (playing with vanilla partners) was a little rocky, mainly because I was nervous but it was also kind of a tough crowd. When you're acting you can't usually see the people in the audience who fall asleep or pick their nose and no one stops you in the middle of your speech to complain about the fact that the speech isn't specifically tailored to them. But whatever. The other classes were pretty awesome. I felt like I knocked the Roleplay class out of the park and, well, no one's going to complain about a class where I take my clothes off but I really feel like I had a good connection with the audience. I also had some really fun scenes. I got to top some very lovely people (I got to do sounds again! So much fun!) I was successfully suspended by Dov and am looking forward to doing it again. And I got to play with Smitty, even though we didn't do a lot of it in public. When we did, there was some very hot punching that culminated in him pointing out that it was officially our anniversary and I burst into tears of joy. I really can't believe it's only been a year. And I can't believe how happy I am to be with him. ETA: OMG I almost forgot. Rita Seagrave (who I've had a HUGE fangirl crush on for over a year) had a giant strap on gang bang in the dungeon and invited everyone with a strap-on to bone her for two minutes. I have never been so happy to have brought my strap on somewhere. She said I totally rocked her world and she sent me a thank you note afterwards. She's awesome. As always with TES Fest I learned some stuff about kink and a LOT about myself. I'll probably post about that stuff in a more private post. Overall it was an awesome weekend. I'm so glad I went. And I have a lot of stuff to tell my therapist. THEN we had OC last night. The show was awesome. The song was amazing. I had a bunch of unexpected friends show up, a few people from out of town, some great regulars and awesome debauchery. Life is awesome. Damn I'm sleepy. |

| 8:52 pm | Hire My Friends Times are tough (doy) and I think the only way we'll pull through is by helping each other out so I'm amping the signal for a few friends. Brad Lawrence http://billyjoesboy.com/ Is in need of a paying gig. Apart from being a wonderful writer, performer, storyteller and stud he lists his skill set as: Clerical, any kind of service industry management (mainly retail) or serving (bartending, waiting), editing and proofreading, and I can pick up just about anything. Juliet Jesky http://www.princesssunshine.com/ Is a great performer, a hell of a comedian, singer, improviser, and clown. Available for ALL kinds of events; Trade shows, kid's birthday parties, burlesque/variety shows, you name it. She's also looking for an apartment, preferably a 1 bedroom or studio, cat friendly for less than $1000 I, also am broke as fuck and running out of space for a day job BUT if you need someone for a burlesque/storytelling/dance/erotica show, let me know. OR you can come to my show, bring friends, and stick money down my pants. |
| 8:05 pm | I want to start off by saying I'm not a snob. More than anything I am NOT an intellectual snob. Yes I am sometimes flabbergasted and appalled when my students have spoken english their whole life and have no idea why a double negative is incorrect english or that verbs spoken about in the past end with "ed" but I'm not appalled at THEM. I'm pretty pissed off that their parents and teachers never bothered to teach them these things but I'm not pissed off at THEM. Nor do I ever confuse ignorance with stupidity. Not knowing something means you haven't come into contact with it, it doesn't mean you *can't* know it. So I tell this story not in a "Can you believe how dumb this guy is?" kind of way. I tell it because I was really surprised by exactly how different the cultural experince can be between two people of roughly the same nationality, cultural background and socio-economic status. Also WTF is up with the American school system? I was working at the insurance agency, eating and reading in the lunch room and one of the agents (late 20's/early 30's, well dressed, well spoken, presumably college educated, though I don't actually know what level of education is required to be a life insurance agent) asks me what I'm reading Me: Ovid's Metamorphoses. Him: Oh, is that a popular book? Me: Um... well... Sort of. It's not gonna be on Opra or anything but it's a classic. Him: What's it about. Me: It's about roman myths, pretty much every myth they have about something turning into something else. Him: So is it, like, debunking them? Me: *blink* *blink* Um... no, it's pretty much accepted that they're not true. They're about people turning into, like, plants and things. They're stories made up to... explain things. Him: Like the unexplainable? Me: Well... no. More like why plants have certain names and stuff. Him:... Me: They're like...*can't think of another word for 'myth'* Um, stories about how things came to be. Like, the beginning of the world Him: Oh, so does it take a religious stance or more of a scientific point of view? Me: Ummm? I guess it's... religious. But it's based on the religion of the ancient romans? Him: So it's about Adam and Eve? Me: Umm...kind of? I suppose I could have used words other than "myth" but they seem misleading because "Fairytale" connotes stories that are European, non religious in nature with important and complex psychological lessons to teach (or, if you're not a nerd like me, Disney movies) and "Fables" are allegories with obvious morals. The only moral I've been able to find thus far in metamorphoses seems to be "If you're too sexy, someone will turn you into a plant." Seriously, school system, if you're not teaching people what the hell a MYTH is, what the fuck ARE you teaching? |
| 12:59 pm | Putting the final touches on my classes for TES Fest (YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY) I could stand to flesh one of them out a little more so I wanted to see if there were any things I hadn't considered on one point so I wanted to get some responses. How do you deal with incompatible kinks in a relationship? Advice, stories, questions welcome. I'll be screening comments so feel free to say whatever you want. |

| 9:23 am | To The Foodies... Calling all Foodies on my f-list: I've got some tomato flavored cous cous and can't figure out what the hell to serve with it. Preferably a meat of some kind and a veggie of some kind and something not too hard to make since I'm only so-so in the cooking department. (it's weird, I usually either make something kinda crappy or totally awesome, very little in between) Any suggestions? Recipes? Tips? |
| 8:45 am | Such A Perfect Day Yesterday I recovered from OC, bought fabric for my Hard Candy Whoresongs act, watched a slightly crazy amount of Scrubs, took a long bath while listening to a bunch of Rasputina songs and creating the story arc for a full length dance piece (which is going to be BADASS if I can get it all together.) Cut the songs together to make a rough draft soundtrack for said piece Fell asleep watching Dexter. Yes, THIS was the life I ordered. Please, sir, I want some more. Ah well, back to the day job. |

| 5:09 pm | Questions Meme I feel like it's time to do this meme again The problem with Live Journal is that we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. Hence, I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should maybe be obvious, but you have no idea about. Considering how busy I am, I probably shouldn't do this but I feel like this journal has become a lot less personal of late (because I've been so busy) and I'd like to change that. So ask away. I will try and answer promptly. |

Erotica readings Original Cyn Monday the 15th (this monday) starring Cherry Pitz BB Heart Reckless Abandon Ruby Fizz and Miss Mary Cyn ( JULY ) ( August ) |

So if you can, please, give her some help. She's worked out a great way to thank people for donations and I promise it'll be going to a very sweet person.
