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.
