Happy birthday to [livejournal.com profile] yashara!

Hello to new reader [livejournal.com profile] runwscissors!

Medical
Dizzy, eyes hurt, nauseous, brain weird. EDIT: Slurred speech.

I talked to [livejournal.com profile] docorion about the medical stuff a bit yesterday. Not because he's a doctor. Because he didn't meet me online til about eight months after the initial diagnosis; when he met me, a lot of the medication damage had already been done. He and I didn't really start talking til about a year post-diagnosis. So. "This is what it was like." Et cetera.

Talking
So much of this weekend just curled up talking. Being Tangent Lass. Just talking, talking about the most random things. His childhood, my childhood. Little memorybombs. Weird.

In between the sex, of course. Mmmm. Sex. :) (If you are in my sexfilter, you will find that there is a sexfilter post.)

I Hate LDRs.
He leaves today.

He was going to leave this morning. That's been revised, because shoving me off to work then taking off = not ideal. Need time for a proper goodbye or, as [livejournal.com profile] karlita would say, To Be Continued. So. After work, then.

'Tisn't right.

He fits in my world. He made dinner last night; mushrooms were done first, and he and Adam and I passed them around in a green bowl and snacked on them whilst sniping about what a hack China Mieville is, and that, that is home. Felt right. I want that again tonight. And I can't have it.

Joy of polyamory is that your heart can swell to encompass so many people.

Hell of it is that the heart never learned a damn thing about geography...

LDR's suck, yes.

I'm somewhat in the throes of perhaps starting one. It is certainly a relationship...and certainly long distance...just not sure how serious it is yet. The lovely lady involved has long term plans of moving to this area, so we'll see how it goes. ;) I'm very tentative of it at this time, though, since she's not polyamorous (and I'm too over-busy to support more than one relationship properly) and don't want to miss out on a more potentially full-time relationship.

Decisions, decisions. At least you have a good idea of where your heart lies...and you always have Adam close. Take comfort in that! ;)

Most quoteable quote I've seen from you in a long time. LJED!
Monday, March 28th, 2005 06:31 am (UTC)
Heh. Used to be "Sigged!"
Monday, March 28th, 2005 05:37 am (UTC)
Hello! Have I managed to vanish myself from your sex filter? I know I *used* to be in there... or did you mean that you've got a sex filter post coming on the way?

Not that I'm eager or anything. ::g::

*blinks* *checks* *readds* *pokes you*
Monday, March 28th, 2005 06:05 am (UTC)
Me too. I think I used to be on it.
Monday, March 28th, 2005 06:28 am (UTC)
And me!
Monday, March 28th, 2005 07:21 am (UTC)
I thought I used to be on it too?
Monday, March 28th, 2005 07:27 am (UTC)
*checks* You're still there. Post was yesterday.
Monday, March 28th, 2005 07:49 am (UTC)
Ooooooo

Don't know how I missed it yesterday, was online and reading LJ...

And just read it....

will be semi-aroused for the rest of the day thinking of it...
Monday, March 28th, 2005 07:22 am (UTC)
Me too!
Tuesday, March 29th, 2005 02:23 am (UTC)
Ooh, haven't had a good poking for a while!!
Monday, March 28th, 2005 05:53 am (UTC)
Whom do I need to strike down with extreme force to make it onto your sex filter, hmmm?
Monday, March 28th, 2005 07:51 am (UTC)
*poke* You're there.

What, there isn't an entrance exam for it? *g,d&r*

(Slightly more seriously, if and only if you feel comfortable adding me, I wouldn't mind being on it. If you don't, that's okay too--I won't be offended.)
Monday, March 28th, 2005 08:50 am (UTC)
Oooooh.

I should totally create an entrance exam.
Monday, March 28th, 2005 09:04 am (UTC)
ow! :)
thankies!

Monday, March 28th, 2005 06:10 am (UTC)
omg, you guys think China is a hack. Oh my world is crumbling. How can I love you if you think such things?? :)
Monday, March 28th, 2005 09:01 am (UTC)
ahh, now I feel better. But still, no love for China? Why no love for him?

(actually, I am interested.)
Monday, March 28th, 2005 02:08 pm (UTC)
see I read Utopia because everyone kept telling me how wonderful it was and after slogging through it, I felt deeply dissatisfied.

So please, as a professional writer, I'd be interested why you think him a hack... oh and just what is the definition of a hack anyway ?
Monday, March 28th, 2005 04:32 pm (UTC)
Ach! It's as a reader that I think that.....

Must analyze and write about that, really.

sexfilter
OoO -- What kind of bribes to you like best so I can make that list? ;)
Monday, March 28th, 2005 07:21 am (UTC)
Ditto the above, I don't have many shiny things I could bribe you with, but I could pout and flutter my eyelashes :)

Oh and completely OT but I may have succeeded in getting my "local" (i.e. 40 miles away) comic shop here in the UK to get hold of the Shooting Star anthology for me. I'm waiting with baited breath for their phone call to say yay or nay.
Monday, March 28th, 2005 07:47 am (UTC)
I once described poly to someone like this:

If you have a child, you love them in a different way than you love your spouse. Therefore we as humans have the capability to live in different ways. So you can love many people in different ways and have different relationships with each of them.

I think I used to be on your filter but I didn't see a post so I must not be anymore :(

LDR's do suck, but the time you so get to spend can be awesome :)
Monday, March 28th, 2005 08:33 am (UTC)
I don't know if I'm on the sex filter or not, but I think not. May I be please? I so enjoy vicarious thrill through other people with more of a life than I :)
Monday, March 28th, 2005 08:56 am (UTC)
....Am I the only one here who likes China Mieville?
Well, except for The Iron Council. That one sucked.
Monday, March 28th, 2005 09:00 am (UTC)
I do! I love China. lovelovelove. and heart.

People who don't love China... I just don't get them.

Haven't read Iron Council yet. Am afraid to. It might take away the love.
Monday, March 28th, 2005 09:07 am (UTC)
It won't take away the love, but it might qualify it a tad....he TRIES to do the same thing he did with The Scar and Perdido Street Station, but it just doesn't work, mainly becuase he shuffles events around seemingly at random so you have no idea what's going on for about half the book. At least you get to hear more about the Handlingers, though :)
Monday, March 28th, 2005 08:24 pm (UTC)
Haven't read Iron Council yet. Waiting for Mass Market PPB. Am a fan, though.
Monday, March 28th, 2005 08:57 am (UTC)
I'd really like to be on this filter too; I'm going through some of the same ishoos myself, and it would be good to get another person's point of view.
Monday, March 28th, 2005 08:59 am (UTC)
'Tisn't issues, just sex. :)
Monday, March 28th, 2005 09:06 am (UTC)
Well, I understand that. :) But I meant the part about having a loving connection with someone who is far away. Keeping things hot despite distance. Keeping connected despite having to miss a lot of their life because of the distance.
Monday, March 28th, 2005 10:11 am (UTC)
Ooooo, I'm all about the sexxxxx....can I be added? I'll be bad good.
Monday, March 28th, 2005 10:19 am (UTC)
Hell of it is that the heart never learned a damn thing about geography...

And even when you're lucky enough to strike up a really good relationship which is short distance... people move, and they usually move with their primaries or on their own. Moving across the country with my spouse meant moving away from other people I loved. There's a lot of hell to it. (But worth it, mmm, yes.)
Monday, March 28th, 2005 01:39 pm (UTC)
So just who do I have to kill to get in on the sex filter?
Monday, March 28th, 2005 08:25 pm (UTC)
It can be to first blood, if you and 'Song's champion can agree.
Tuesday, March 29th, 2005 06:48 am (UTC)
'First blood' sounds much more more agreeable ;)
Monday, March 28th, 2005 08:25 pm (UTC)
Not getting into another LDR. Not ever. :(
Tuesday, March 29th, 2005 05:21 am (UTC)
I'm sorry, sweetheart....
